Abstract

In an embodiment, a cutting tool is disclosed. The cutting tool includes a holder and an insert. The holder has a shape extending from a first end to a second end, and includes a flow path and a pocket located at a side of the first end. The insert is located at the pocket. The flow path includes a first flow path and a second flow path. The first flow path includes a first opening located at a side of the first end and located above the insert. The second flow path includes a second opening located at a side of the first end and located above the first opening. A first imaginary line of the first flow path and a second imaginary line of the second flow path intersect each other above the insert. A method of manufacturing a machine product by using the cutting tool is also disclosed.

Claims (36)

1. A cutting tool, comprising:

a holder having a shape extending from a first end to a second end, and comprising

a flow path comprising an inflow port and an outflow port, and

a pocket located at a side of the first end; and

an insert located at the pocket and comprising:

a first surface,

a second surface, and

a cutting edge located in at least a part of a ridge where the first surface intersects with the second surface,

wherein the flow path comprises a first flow path and a second flow path,

wherein the first flow path comprises, as the outflow port, a first opening located at a side of the first end and located above the insert,

wherein the second flow path comprises, as the outflow port, a second opening located at a side of the first end and located above the first opening, and

wherein a first imaginary line and a second imaginary line intersect each other above the insert when the first imaginary line is a line obtained by allowing a first central axis at a side of the first opening of the first flow path to extend outward from the holder, and the second imaginary line is a line obtained by allowing a second central axis at a side of the second opening of the second flow path to extend outward from the holder.

2. The cutting tool according to claim 1 ,

wherein the flow path further comprises a main flow path being continuous from the inflow port,

wherein the first flow path is branched from the main flow path, and

wherein the second flow path is branched from the main flow path or the first flow path.

3. The cutting tool according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first surface faces an intersection point where the first imaginary line and the second imaginary line intersect each other,

wherein the first surface comprises a concave curved surface located along the cutting edge, and

wherein the first imaginary line and the second imaginary line intersect each other at a point before reaching the concave curved surface.

4. The cutting tool according to claim 3 , wherein the second imaginary line intersects the insert on the concave curved surface.

5. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the second imaginary line intersects the insert, and the first imaginary line does not intersect the insert.

6. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the second imaginary line is inclined downward toward a side of the first end.

7. The cutting tool according to claim 6 , wherein the first imaginary line is inclined downward toward the side of the first end.

8. The cutting tool according to claim 6 , wherein the first imaginary line is parallel to the first surface.

9. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the second opening is located at a point closer to a side of the first end than the first opening.

10. The cutting tool according to claim 1 ,

wherein the pocket comprises a screw hole, and

wherein the second flow path is located above the screw hole.

11. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the first opening and the second opening are located above the insert.

12. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein an angle θ 1 formed by the first imaginary line and the second imaginary line is an acute angle.

13. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the first imaginary line and the second imaginary line intersect each other below the second opening.

14. A method of manufacturing a machined product, comprising:

rotating a workpiece;

bringing a cutting tool according to claim 1 into contact with the workpiece being rotated; and

moving the cutting tool away from the workpiece.
