Cutting insert and cutting tool
The present invention provides a cutting insert in which suitable honing is formed on a cutting edge. The cutting insert is provided with: two end surfaces opposing each other; a peripheral side surface extending between the two end surfaces; and a cutting edge formed on an intersecting ridge between at least one of the two end surfaces and the peripheral side surface. The cutting edge at least includes a major cutting edge and an inner cutting edge. Honing is provided on the major cutting edge and the inner cutting edge. A width of second honing of the inner cutting edge is narrower than a width of first honing of the major cutting edge, as viewed from a side of the end surfaces.
1. A cutting insert, comprising:
first and second end surfaces that oppose each other;
a peripheral side surface extending between the first and second end surfaces; and
a cutting edge formed on an intersecting ridge between the first end surface and the peripheral side surface, wherein
the cutting edge continuously includes a first corner cutting edge, a major cutting edge, an end cutting edge, an inner cutting edge, and a second corner cutting edge in this order,
honing is provided on the first corner cutting edge, the major cutting edge, the end cutting edge, the inner cutting edge, and the second corner cutting edge,
a width of the honing of the inner cutting edge is narrower than a width of the honing of the first corner cutting edge, the major cutting edge, and the end cutting edge, as viewed from a side of the first end surface,
the intersecting ridge includes first and second intersecting ridges,
the first corner cutting edge is connected to the first intersecting ridge between the first end surface and the peripheral side surface, the first intersecting ridge being located on an opposite side to the major cutting edge, and
the second corner cutting edge is connected to the second intersecting ridge between the first end surface and the peripheral side surface, the second intersecting ridge being located on an opposite side to the inner cutting edge.
2. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the honing of the inner cutting edge and the second corner cutting edge is narrower than a width of the honing of the first corner cutting edge, the major cutting edge, and the end cutting edge.
3. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the honing of the second corner cutting edge is equivalent to a width of the honing at a connecting part of the inner cutting edge which is connected to the second corner cutting edge.
4. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein
the first intersecting ridge and the second intersecting ridge respectively include cut surfaces,
a width of the cut surface of the first intersecting ridge, as viewed from the side of the first end surface, is narrower than a width of the honing of the first corner cutting edge, and
a width of the cut surface of the second intersecting ridge, as viewed from the side of the first end surface, is the same as a width of the honing of the second corner cutting edge.
5. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein the width of the honing of the inner cutting edge, as viewed from the side of the first end surface, gradually increases between a connecting part connected to the second corner cutting edge and a connecting part connected to the end cutting edge.
6. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein the width of the honing of the first corner cutting edge, the major cutting edge, and the end cutting edge, as viewed from the side of the first end surface, is constant.
7. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein the width of the honing of the inner cutting edge, as viewed from the side of the first end surface, is equal to or more than 0.1 mm.
8. A cutting tool, comprising:
a tool body; and
the cutting insert according to claim 1 mounted to the tool body.
