Method for producing a cutting tool, and cutting tool
A method for producing a cutting tool is described. This method includes the production of a tool body of the cutting tool by means of a generative production method. At least one coolant cavity that has, at least in segments, an essentially triangular cross section is in this case provided in the tool body. Moreover, a cutting tool produced by means of this method is presented. Also proposed is a cutting tool having at least one coolant cavity running therein, wherein the coolant cavity has, at least in segments, an essentially triangular cross section and the cutting tool is produced, at least in segments, by means of a generative production method.
1. A cutting tool having at least one coolant cavity running therein, wherein the coolant cavity has, at least in segments, an essentially triangular cross section, characterized in that, in a production orientation of the cutting tool, at least one overhanging wall of the coolant cavity has an overhang angle, measured relatively to a horizontal, that is greater than an overhang limit angle.
2. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , characterized in that the coolant cavity is a coolant conduit, wherein the coolant conduit has an essentially triangular cross section along its entire extent.
3. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , characterized in that the cutting tool is a drilling tool.
4. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the cutting tool is a milling tool.
5. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the cutting tool, at least in segments, is produced by means of a generative production method.
6. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the coolant cavity comprises an exit aperture in a sidewall of the cutting tool.
7. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the coolant cavity comprises two overhanging walls, the overhang angle of each wall greater than the overhang limit angle.
8. The cutting tool of claim 1 , wherein the overhang limit angle is 30° to 70°.
9. The cutting tool of claim 1 , wherein the overhang limit angle is 60°.
10. The cutting tool of claim 1 , wherein the overhang limit angle is 70°.
11. The cutting tool of claim 6 , wherein the exit aperture is forward of a cutting insert in a direction of rotation of the cutting tool.
