Description

Side milling cutter tool and cutting element

The invention relates to a side milling cutter tool for milling or sawing metal blanks, in particular metal pipes or metal billets, with a disk-shaped base body and with several arranged on the edge region of the disk-shaped base body, interchangeable cutting elements, and with fastening means for releasably securing these cutting elements at the edge region of the disc-shaped Grundkör - pers, and further relates to a cutting element for use in a Scheibenfräserwerkzeug.

Such a tool is known from DE 34 25 699 PS the same patent applicant. This tool for machining, in particular for milling methods with high feed rates, has a disk-shaped base body and a plurality of interchangeable cutting elements arranged on the edge region of the disk-shaped base body, such as carbide blades or reversible cutting plates, and fastening means for releasably securing these cutting elements on the edge region of the disc-shaped base body , In order not to reduce the effective number of blades with regard to the feed rate and to exclude the great risk of breakage of long carbide cutters, the previously known tool, especially for space milling, has been attached to the base body of the

Tool or on a cutting element holder at least two cutting elements formed in a specific shape, in particular turning cutting plates made of hard metal, which are arranged with / without gap side by side as a combination of blades on the main body or in this holder. The reversible cutting plates have a square or triangular base surface, wherein in the base body correspondingly designed seats are provided for receiving the cutting forces. The reversible cutting plates are clamped to the base body by means of a clamping wedge.

From the AT 004 597 Ul of the same patent applicant, a cutting tool is known in which the cutting inserts the body can be fixed by clamping. In this "self-clamping principle", the cutting inserts are clamped in a recess of the tool body by a part of the base body, which is designed as a resilient clamping arm.This is mainly used for long, narrow cutting inserts, as with tools for cutting or parting or The clamping force that clamps the cutting insert in the receptacle corresponds to the spring force of the clamping arm, either under clamping contact when inserting the cutting insert into the clamping insert

Recording is automatically spread open, or is spread apart before insertion of the cutting insert by a suitable tool beyond the clamping position, whereby the positioning of the cutting insert is facilitated in the recording. The maximum attachable clamping force is limited for structural or material-technical reasons, so that it can come to a retraction of the cutting insert from the recording especially in disc cutters in which high centrifugal forces occur in use. In addition, with such tools, adequate measures must be taken to prevent unintentional removal of the cutting inserts from the receptacle.

From GM 78 36 282 Ul a saw blade-like milling disc with distributed over the circumference of a body, arranged in receiving pockets cutting bodies, preferably indexable inserts or Wendenachschleifplatten known, in which the cutting body in cross-section U-shaped, wherein a cutting edge having a leg a rest provided on the circumference of the base rest, and engages the second leg of the U-shaped cutting body arranged by a plane of the body axially parallel Durchgriffsoffnung. By this known milling disc much narrower sheets should be used, and it should be avoided vibrating or fluttering of the saw blade. Based on the prior art according to DE 34 25 699 PS, the invention has for its object to provide a tool for machining of the generic type, in particular for milling method with high feed rates available, which compared to the previously known

Tools allows a much wider range of applications, and for example, the sawing of stainless steels, thereby enabling the use of arbitrary cutting geometries with maximum service life, with a change of a cutting plate, as in a premature outbreak of a cutting edge, as simple and fast as possible can, and in which on the other hand, the tendency generally occurring for disc cutters to harmful vibrations can be largely reduced or avoided.

This object is achieved by the blade milling tool specified in claim 1 and the cutting element specified in claim 12.

According to the invention, a side milling cutter tool for milling or sawing metal blanks, in particular metal pipes or metal billets, having the following features is provided:

the tool has a disk-shaped basic body, on or on the edge region of which several interchangeable cutting elements, in particular hard metal knives, are arranged,

- At the edge region of the disc-shaped base body seats are formed for at least partially recording or at least for conditioning the cutting elements, the cutting elements such form positively or positively with the seats in mutual contact or at least rest with or on the seats or are recorded that at least such acting on the cutting elements transverse to the slice plane cutting forces are absorbed by the respective seats, wherein the seat has a seat support surface, which is bounded by a boundary elevation such that the edge elevation with the seat one to one side forms an open receiving pocket for positive reception of the cutting element,

the cutting elements have a substantially prismatic or cuboid basic shape with at least one cutting edge whose width projects beyond the thickness of the disk-shaped base body,
