Cutting tool with chip breaker as well as manufacturing process for production of this cutting tool

摘要

A cutting tool with a device for the prevention of uncontrolled chip formation which are placed in a specific distance to a cutting edge at a layer of polycrystalline diamond (PCD) or polycrystalline boron nitride (PCBN), and to a manufacturing process for the production of such a cutting tool. The PCD or PCBN layer incorporates the device for the prevention of uncontrolled chip formation as an integral part, and the layer with the device for the prevention of uncontrolled chip formation and the cutting edge are produced by way of an additive procedure, or that the device and the cutting edge are produced by removing material of the PCD or PCBN body by laser or electro-erosion.
