Description

本発明は、切削ヘッドの締結機構及びこれを用いたヘッド交換式切削工具に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a fastening mechanism for a cutting head and a head exchangeable cutting tool using the same.

従来のヘッド交換式切削工具として、例えば、JIS B 4214に規定されるシェルエンドミル(切削ヘッド)がJIS B 4216に規定されるカッタアーバ(工具本体)の先端部に装着されてなるものが知られている。シェルエンドミルは、筒状をなし、その軸方向に貫通する孔部と、前記軸方向を向く先端面及び前記軸方向に垂直な径方向を向く外周面に形成された切れ刃とを備えている。シェルエンドミルは、その孔部がカッタアーバの先端部(インロー部)に嵌合された状態で、ねじ部材等で固定される。そして、カッタアーバが工作機械の主軸等に装着され、その回転軸(中心軸)回りに回転させられることにより、シェルエンドミルの切れ刃で被削材を切削(転削)加工する。   As a conventional head-exchangeable cutting tool, for example, a shell end mill (cutting head) defined in JIS B 4214 is mounted on the tip of a cutter arbor (tool body) defined in JIS B 4216 is known. Yes. The shell end mill has a cylindrical shape, and includes a hole portion that penetrates in the axial direction, a tip surface that faces the axial direction, and a cutting edge that is formed on an outer peripheral surface that faces a radial direction perpendicular to the axial direction. . The shell end mill is fixed by a screw member or the like in a state where the hole portion is fitted to the tip end portion (inlay portion) of the cutter arbor. Then, the cutter arbor is mounted on the main shaft of the machine tool and is rotated around its rotation axis (center axis), thereby cutting (rolling) the workpiece with the cutting edge of the shell end mill.

この種のヘッド交換式切削工具では、切削加工の品位を確保するため、カッタアーバに対してシェルエンドミルを同軸(同心)に位置決め(芯合せ)する必要がある。
例えば、下記特許文献1に示されるヘッド交換式切削工具は、交換刃具(切削ヘッド)と、専用のシャンク(工具本体)と、シャンクに対して螺合により交換刃具を固定する取付ねじとを備えている。そして、取付ねじの胴部に設けられた嵌合軸部が、交換刃具及びシャンクの各嵌合穴に嵌合させられることにより、該嵌合軸部を介して、交換刃具とシャンクとが互いに同軸に芯合せされるようになっている。
In this type of head interchangeable cutting tool, it is necessary to position (center) the shell end mill coaxially (concentrically) with respect to the cutter arbor in order to ensure the quality of the cutting process.
For example, the head exchangeable cutting tool disclosed in Patent Document 1 below includes an exchange blade (cutting head), a dedicated shank (tool body), and a mounting screw for fixing the exchange blade to the shank by screwing. ing. Then, the fitting shaft provided on the body of the mounting screw is fitted into the fitting holes of the exchange blade and the shank, so that the exchange blade and the shank are mutually connected via the fitting shaft. It is designed to be coaxially aligned.

しかしながら、前述した従来のヘッド交換式切削工具では、下記の課題があった。
すなわち、一般的なシェルエンドミルとカッタアーバからなるヘッド交換式切削工具では、カッタアーバに対してシェルエンドミルを精度よく芯合せすることが難しかった。
一方、例えば上記特許文献1のように、専用の工具本体を用いることにより、該工具本体に対して切削ヘッドを比較的精度よく芯合せしやすくなるが、工具の構造が複雑となり、またこれらの嵌合(連結)部分においては高精度な研削加工等が必要であり、製造が複雑となっていた。特に、切削ヘッドは超硬合金等の硬質材料からなる焼結体で作製される場合があり、加工が難しかった。また、一般のカッタアーバ等を工具本体として用いることができないために、汎用性に課題を有していた。
However, the conventional head exchangeable cutting tool described above has the following problems.
That is, it is difficult to accurately align the shell end mill with the cutter arbor with a head exchangeable cutting tool composed of a general shell end mill and cutter arbor.
On the other hand, for example, as in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the use of a dedicated tool body makes it easy to align the cutting head with respect to the tool body with relatively high accuracy, but the structure of the tool becomes complicated, and these The fitting (connecting) portion requires high-precision grinding and the like, and manufacturing is complicated. In particular, the cutting head may be made of a sintered body made of a hard material such as a cemented carbide, which is difficult to process. Further, since a general cutter arbor or the like cannot be used as a tool body, there is a problem in versatility.

また、従来のヘッド交換式切削工具では、切削ヘッドの交換等の必要性から、該切削ヘッドと工具本体の先端部との嵌合部分は一般にすきま嵌めとされていて、芯合せの精度を十分に高めることは難しかった。   In addition, with conventional head-changing cutting tools, due to the necessity of exchanging the cutting head, etc., the fitting portion between the cutting head and the tip of the tool body is generally a clearance fit, so that the centering accuracy is sufficient. It was difficult to increase.

本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたものであって、構造及び製造を複雑にすることなく、工具本体に対して切削ヘッドを精度よく同軸に簡単に芯合せでき、高品位な切削加工を安定して行うことができるとともに、該工具本体として一般のカッタアーバ等を用いることが可能であり、製造費用を削減でき、汎用性に優れた切削ヘッドの締結機構及びこれを用いたヘッド交換式切削工具を提供することを目的としている。   The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and the cutting head can be easily and accurately coaxially aligned with the tool main body without complicating the structure and manufacturing, and high-quality cutting. It is possible to stably perform machining, and it is possible to use a general cutter arbor as the tool body, reducing the manufacturing cost, and versatile cutting head fastening mechanism, and head replacement using this It aims at providing a type cutting tool.

このような課題を解決して、前記目的を達成するために、本発明は以下の手段を提案している。
すなわち、本発明は、軸状をなす工具本体の先端部に、筒状の切削ヘッドを締結するための切削ヘッドの締結機構であって、切削ヘッドは、その軸方向に貫通する孔部と、前記軸方向を向く先端面及び前記軸方向に垂直な径方向を向く外周面の少なくともいずれかに形成された切れ刃とを有し、前記切削ヘッドの孔部内には、前記工具本体の先端部の前記径方向の外側に嵌合可能な筒状の締結部材が設けられるとともに、この締結部材の前記軸方向に沿う前記工具本体とは反対側には、前記締結部材に螺合されることにより前記切削ヘッドに対して前記締結部材を前記工具本体とは反対側に引き上げ可能な筒状の締め付け部材が配設され、前記切削ヘッドの孔部の内周面には、前記軸方向に沿って前記工具本体とは反対側に向かうに従い漸次縮径するヘッドテーパ面が形成され、前記締結部材の外周面のうち、前記軸方向に沿う前記工具本体の先端部に対応する位置には、前記軸方向に沿って前記工具本体とは反対側に向かうに従い漸次縮径するとともに、前記ヘッドテーパ面に当接される締結テーパ面が形成されていて、前記締め付け部材をねじ込んで前記締結部材を引き上げることにより、前記ヘッドテーパ面と前記締結テーパ面とが互いに摺接しつつ、前記締結部材とともに前記切削ヘッドが前記工具本体の先端部に芯合せされ、前記締結部材及び前記締め付け部材に挿通されて、前記工具本体の先端部に穿設された雌ねじ部に螺合するねじ部材が設けられるとともに、前記ねじ部材をねじ込むことによって、該ねじ部材の頭部が前記締め付け部材を前記軸方向の前記工具本体側へ向けて押圧するようにしたことを特徴としている。
また、本発明は、切削ヘッドと、前記切削ヘッドが着脱可能に装着される工具本体と、を備えたヘッド交換式切削工具であって、前述の切削ヘッドの締結機構を用いたことを特徴としている。
In order to solve such problems and achieve the above object, the present invention proposes the following means.
That is, the present invention is a cutting head fastening mechanism for fastening a cylindrical cutting head to a tip portion of an axial tool body, the cutting head including a hole penetrating in the axial direction, A cutting edge formed on at least one of a front end surface facing the axial direction and an outer peripheral surface facing a radial direction perpendicular to the axial direction, and a front end portion of the tool main body in a hole of the cutting head A cylindrical fastening member that can be fitted to the outside in the radial direction is provided, and on the opposite side of the fastening member along the axial direction of the fastening member, the fastening member is screwed to the fastening member. A cylindrical fastening member capable of pulling up the fastening member to the opposite side of the tool main body with respect to the cutting head is disposed, and an inner peripheral surface of the hole of the cutting head extends along the axial direction. Gradually toward the opposite side of the tool body A head taper surface is formed, and a position corresponding to a tip end portion of the tool body along the axial direction on the outer peripheral surface of the fastening member is opposite to the tool body along the axial direction. A fastening taper surface that is gradually reduced in diameter toward the head and abutted against the head taper surface is formed, and by screwing the fastening member and pulling up the fastening member, the head taper surface and the fastening taper surface Are internally threaded with the cutting member being centered on the distal end portion of the tool main body and being inserted into the fastening member and the fastening member, and being drilled at the distal end portion of the tool main body. A screw member that is screwed onto the screw member, and screwing the screw member so that the head of the screw member causes the clamping member to move in the axial direction. It is characterized in that so as to press toward the side.
Further, the present invention is a head replaceable cutting tool comprising a cutting head and a tool body to which the cutting head is detachably mounted, wherein the cutting head fastening mechanism is used. Yes.

本発明の切削ヘッドの締結機構及びこれを用いたヘッド交換式切削工具では、切削ヘッドの孔部内に締結部材が設けられるとともに、この締結部材が工具本体の先端部(ホルダインロー部)の径方向外側に嵌合可能とされていて、該締結部材に螺合される締め付け部材を締め付けていくと(ねじ込んでいくと)、締結部材が切削ヘッド及び工具本体の先端部に対して、工具本体とは反対側(工具先端側)に向けて、移動させられる(引き上げられる)。   In the cutting head fastening mechanism and the head exchangeable cutting tool using the same according to the present invention, a fastening member is provided in the hole of the cutting head, and the fastening member serves as a radial direction of the tip end portion (holder inlay portion) of the tool body. When the fastening member that can be fitted to the outside and is screwed into the fastening member is tightened (screwed in), the fastening member is in contact with the cutting head and the tip of the tool body, Is moved (raised) toward the opposite side (tool tip side).

この移動にともなって、締結部材の締結テーパ面が、切削ヘッドのヘッドテーパ面に対して摺接されつつ強く押し付けられ、これにより締結部材と切削ヘッドとが同軸に芯合せされる。ここで、締結部材は工具本体の先端部に嵌合されて同軸とされているから、切削ヘッドは、該締結部材を介して工具本体に対しても精度よく芯合せされるようになっている。また、締結部材が弾性変形可能な材料で形成されている場合には、前述のように締結テーパ面とヘッドテーパ面とが摺接されていくときに、該締結部材における締結テーパ面部分は縮径させられて、この締結テーパ面の径方向内側に位置する工具本体の先端部に対して、締結部材が強固に嵌合することになり、これにより、あたかも締まり嵌めの如き作用を得ることができる。
つまり、締結部材を工具本体の先端部に取り付ける際には、これらの嵌合部分に僅かに隙間を設けて装着しやすくしつつも、次いで締め付け部材を締め付けていくことで、あたかも締結部材の内径を工具本体の先端部の外径よりも小さく形成してこれらを圧入させたような、強固な嵌合状態(取付剛性)及び高い求心性を得ることができるようになっている。
Along with this movement, the fastening taper surface of the fastening member is strongly pressed while being in sliding contact with the head taper surface of the cutting head, whereby the fastening member and the cutting head are coaxially aligned. Here, since the fastening member is fitted to the tip of the tool body and is coaxial, the cutting head is also accurately aligned with the tool body via the fastening member. . Further, when the fastening member is formed of an elastically deformable material, when the fastening tapered surface and the head tapered surface are brought into sliding contact as described above, the fastening tapered surface portion of the fastening member is contracted. The fastening member is firmly fitted to the distal end portion of the tool body positioned radially inside the fastening taper surface, thereby obtaining an action like an interference fit. it can.
In other words, when attaching the fastening member to the tip of the tool body, it is easy to mount the fitting part by providing a slight gap, but then tightening the fastening member, as if the inner diameter of the fastening member Is formed smaller than the outer diameter of the tip end portion of the tool main body, and a strong fitting state (attachment rigidity) and high centripetalness can be obtained.

具体的に、締め付け部材を締め付けていく際、切削ヘッドに対して締結部材が軸方向に沿って工具本体とは反対側に移動するとともに、切削ヘッドのヘッドテーパ面と、締結部材の締結テーパ面とが摺接しつつ互いに強く押し付け合うことで、切削ヘッドと締結部材とが同軸(同心)に位置決め(芯合せ)される。またこれと同時に、締結部材の締結テーパ面部分が縮径されていくことで、該締結部材の内周面と、工具本体の先端部の外周面とが互いに強く押し付け合い、締結部材と工具本体の先端部とも同軸に芯合せされる。
尚、このように締結部材を縮径させるまでに至らない場合であっても(つまり締結部材と工具本体の先端部とがすきま嵌めとされた状態であっても)、工具本体の先端部に対して切削ヘッドを精度よく芯合せできることは前述した通りである。
Specifically, when tightening the tightening member, the fastening member moves to the opposite side of the tool body along the axial direction with respect to the cutting head, and the head taper surface of the cutting head and the fastening taper surface of the fastening member Are strongly pressed against each other while being in sliding contact with each other, whereby the cutting head and the fastening member are positioned (centered) coaxially (concentrically). At the same time, the fastening taper surface portion of the fastening member is reduced in diameter so that the inner peripheral surface of the fastening member and the outer peripheral surface of the tip end portion of the tool body strongly press each other, and the fastening member and the tool body The front end of each is coaxially aligned.
Even if the fastening member does not reach the diameter reduction as described above (that is, even when the fastening member and the tip of the tool main body are in a clearance fit), the tip of the tool main body is On the other hand, the cutting head can be accurately aligned as described above.

このように、本発明によれば、簡単な構造を用いて、かつ、締め付け部材を締め付けるだけの簡単な作業によって、切削ヘッド、締結部材及び工具本体の先端部を同軸に精度よく芯合せできる。さらに、締め付け部材の締め付け量に応じて締結部材が縮径させられる場合には、これらの嵌合(連結)が、締まり嵌めの如く強固に行われて、取付剛性が十分に高められることになる。   As described above, according to the present invention, the cutting head, the fastening member, and the tip of the tool main body can be accurately and coaxially aligned with a simple structure and by a simple operation of fastening the fastening member. Further, when the diameter of the fastening member is reduced in accordance with the tightening amount of the fastening member, these fittings (connections) are performed firmly like an interference fit, and the mounting rigidity is sufficiently increased. .

さらに、切削ヘッドが例えば超硬合金等の硬質材料からなる焼結体で作製されていても、この切削ヘッドの孔部内を研削加工するようなことなく、該切削ヘッドを精度よく工具本体の回転軸(中心軸)に同軸に芯合せして装着できる。
また、工具本体に特別な構造を必要としないため、該工具本体として、例えばJIS B 4216に規定される一般のカッタアーバ等を用いることが可能である。
Furthermore, even if the cutting head is made of a sintered body made of a hard material such as cemented carbide, the cutting head can be rotated with high accuracy without grinding the inside of the hole of the cutting head. Can be mounted coaxially with the shaft (center axis).
Further, since a special structure is not required for the tool body, a general cutter arbor or the like defined in JIS B 4216 can be used as the tool body, for example.

従って、本発明によれば、構造及び製造を複雑にすることなく、工具本体に対して切削ヘッドを精度よく同軸に簡単に芯合せでき、高品位な切削加工を安定して行うことができるとともに、該工具本体として一般のカッタアーバ等を用いることが可能であり、製造費用を削減でき、汎用性に優れている。   Therefore, according to the present invention, the cutting head can be easily and accurately coaxially aligned with the tool body without complicating the structure and manufacturing, and high-quality cutting can be stably performed. A general cutter arbor or the like can be used as the tool body, manufacturing costs can be reduced, and versatility is excellent.

また、本発明の切削ヘッドの締結機構において、前記締め付け部材は、前記切削ヘッドの孔部内に収容されることとしてもよい。   In the cutting head fastening mechanism according to the present invention, the fastening member may be accommodated in a hole of the cutting head.

この場合、切削加工時に、締め付け部材が切削ヘッドから工具先端側に向けて突出するようなことがなく、よって被削材に接触することが防止されて、切削加工性が高められる。尚、さらにねじ部材の頭部が切削ヘッドの孔部内に収容されることとした場合には、切削加工性がより向上することから、好ましい。   In this case, at the time of cutting, the fastening member does not protrude from the cutting head toward the tip of the tool, and therefore, contact with the work material is prevented and cutting workability is improved. In addition, it is preferable that the head of the screw member is accommodated in the hole of the cutting head because the cutting workability is further improved.

また、本発明の切削ヘッドの締結機構において、前記切削ヘッドにおける前記軸方向に沿う前記工具本体側を向く端面と、前記工具本体における前記軸方向に沿う前記切削ヘッド側を向く端面との間に、これら端面に当接して緩衝部材が配設されることとしてもよい。   Moreover, in the fastening mechanism of the cutting head according to the present invention, between the end surface of the cutting head facing the tool body along the axial direction and the end surface of the tool body facing the cutting head along the axial direction. The buffer member may be disposed in contact with these end surfaces.

この場合、切削ヘッドは、前述したように締結部材を介して工具本体の先端部に固定(径方向支持)されるのみならず、緩衝部材を介しても工具本体に固定(軸方向支持)されることになり、よって工具本体に対する切削ヘッドの取り付け安定性が向上する。
また、切削ヘッドが例えば超硬合金等の硬質材料からなる場合に、緩衝部材が配設されていることで、該切削ヘッドが鋼材等からなる工具本体に直接接触して傷付けてしまうようなことが防止される。
In this case, the cutting head is not only fixed (radially supported) to the tip of the tool body via the fastening member as described above, but also fixed to the tool body (axially supported) via the buffer member. Therefore, the mounting stability of the cutting head with respect to the tool body is improved.
In addition, when the cutting head is made of a hard material such as cemented carbide, for example, the cushioning member is disposed, so that the cutting head is in direct contact with the tool body made of steel or the like and may be damaged. Is prevented.

本発明の切削ヘッドの締結機構及びこれを用いたヘッド交換式切削工具によれば、構造及び製造を複雑にすることなく、工具本体に対して切削ヘッドを精度よく同軸に簡単に芯合せでき、高品位な切削加工を安定して行うことができるとともに、該工具本体として一般のカッタアーバ等を用いることが可能であり、製造費用を削減でき、汎用性に優れている。   According to the fastening mechanism of the cutting head of the present invention and the head exchangeable cutting tool using the same, the cutting head can be easily and accurately coaxially aligned with the tool body without complicating the structure and manufacturing, High-quality cutting can be stably performed, and a general cutter arbor or the like can be used as the tool body, which can reduce manufacturing costs and is excellent in versatility.

In this case, when the fastening taper surface 13 and the head taper surface 12 are brought into sliding contact as described above, The fastening taper surface 13 portion (large diameter portion 7 b) of the fastening member 7 is reduced in diameter so that the fastening member 7 is larger than the distal end portion 6 of the tool body 3 positioned on the radially inner side of the fastening taper surface 13. The diameter portion 7b is tightly fitted, and as a result, an action like an interference fit can be obtained.
That is, when attaching the large-diameter portion 7b of the fastening member 7 to the distal end portion 6 of the tool body 3, the fastening member 8 is then tightened while providing a slight gap in these fitting portions to facilitate mounting. As a result, the inner diameter of the large-diameter portion 7b of the fastening member 7 is made smaller than the outer diameter of the tip portion 6 of the tool body 3 and these are press-fitted into a strong fitting state (mounting rigidity) and High centripetalness can be obtained.

具体的に、締め付け部材8を締め付けていく際、切削ヘッド2に対して締結部材7が軸O方向に沿って工具本体3とは反対側(先端側)に移動するとともに、切削ヘッド2のヘッドテーパ面12と、締結部材7の締結テーパ面13とが摺接しつつ互いに強く押し付け合うことで、切削ヘッド2と締結部材7とが同軸(同心)に位置決め(芯合せ)される。またこれと同時に、締結部材7の大径部7bが縮径されていくことで、該締結部材7の大径部7bの内周面と、工具本体3の先端部6の外周面とが互いに強く押し付け合い、締結部材7と工具本体3の先端部6とも同軸に芯合せされる。
尚、このように締結部材7を縮径させるまでに至らない場合であっても(つまり締結部材7と工具本体3の先端部6とがすきま嵌めとされた状態であっても)、工具本体3の先端部6に対して切削ヘッド2を精度よく芯合せできることは前述した通りである。
Specifically, when the fastening member 8 is tightened, the fastening member 7 moves to the opposite side (tip side) to the tool body 3 along the axis O direction with respect to the cutting head 2, and the head of the cutting head 2. The cutting head 2 and the fastening member 7 are coaxially (concentrically) positioned (centered) by strongly pressing each other while the taper surface 12 and the fastening taper surface 13 of the fastening member 7 are in sliding contact with each other. At the same time, the large-diameter portion 7b of the fastening member 7 is reduced in diameter so that the inner peripheral surface of the large-diameter portion 7b of the fastening member 7 and the outer peripheral surface of the tip portion 6 of the tool body 3 are mutually connected. Pressing strongly, the fastening member 7 and the tip 6 of the tool body 3 are also coaxially aligned.
Even when the diameter of the fastening member 7 is not reduced as described above (that is, even when the fastening member 7 and the tip portion 6 of the tool body 3 are in a clearance fit), the tool body As described above, the cutting head 2 can be accurately aligned with respect to the tip portion 6 of the three.

このように、本実施形態によれば、簡単な構造を用いて、かつ、締め付け部材8を締め付けるだけの簡単な作業によって、切削ヘッド2、締結部材7及び工具本体3の先端部6を同軸に精度よく芯合せできる。さらに、本実施形態では締め付け部材8の締め付け量に応じて締結部材7が縮径させられるので、これらの嵌合(連結)が、締まり嵌めの如く強固に行われて、取付剛性が十分に高められることになる。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, the cutting head 2, the fastening member 7, and the distal end portion 6 of the tool body 3 are coaxially arranged by a simple operation using a simple structure and by simply fastening the fastening member 8. Accurate alignment is possible. Further, in the present embodiment, the fastening member 7 is reduced in diameter in accordance with the tightening amount of the fastening member 8, so that these fittings (connections) are performed firmly like an interference fit and the mounting rigidity is sufficiently increased. Will be.

さらに、本実施形態のように、切削ヘッド2が超硬合金等の硬質材料からなる焼結体で作製されていても、この切削ヘッド2の孔部5内を研削加工するようなことなく、該切削ヘッド2を精度よく工具本体3の回転軸(中心軸)に同軸に芯合せして装着できる。
また、工具本体3に特別な構造を必要としないため、該工具本体3として、本実施形態のようなJIS規格のカッタアーバ等を用いることが可能である。
Furthermore, even if the cutting head 2 is made of a sintered body made of a hard material such as a cemented carbide as in the present embodiment, the inside of the hole 5 of the cutting head 2 is not ground. The cutting head 2 can be accurately mounted coaxially with the rotation axis (center axis) of the tool body 3.
Since the tool body 3 does not require a special structure, a JIS standard cutter arbor or the like as in the present embodiment can be used as the tool body 3.

従って、本実施形態によれば、構造及び製造を複雑にすることなく、工具本体3に対して切削ヘッド2を精度よく同軸に簡単に芯合せでき、高品位な切削加工を安定して行うことができるとともに、該工具本体3として一般のカッタアーバ等を用いることが可能であり、製造費用を削減でき、汎用性に優れている。   Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the cutting head 2 can be easily and accurately coaxially aligned with the tool body 3 without complicating the structure and manufacturing, and high-quality cutting can be stably performed. In addition, a general cutter arbor or the like can be used as the tool body 3, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced and the versatility is excellent.

また、締め付け部材8が、切削ヘッド2の孔部5内に収容されているので、切削加工時に、該締め付け部材8が切削ヘッド2から工具先端側に向けて突出して配置されるようなことがなく、よって被削材に接触することが防止されて、切削加工性が高められる。尚、本実施形態では、ねじ部材9の頭部9bも切削ヘッド2の孔部5内に収容されていることから、前述の効果がより顕著に得られる。   In addition, since the fastening member 8 is accommodated in the hole 5 of the cutting head 2, the fastening member 8 may be disposed so as to protrude from the cutting head 2 toward the tool tip side during cutting. Therefore, contact with the work material is prevented and cutting workability is improved. In the present embodiment, since the head 9b of the screw member 9 is also accommodated in the hole 5 of the cutting head 2, the above-described effects can be obtained more remarkably.

また、切削ヘッド2の基端側を向く端面2cと、工具本体3の先端側を向く端面3aとの間に、これら端面2c、3aに当接して緩衝部材11が配設されているので、下記の効果を奏する。
すなわち、切削ヘッド2は、前述したように締結部材7を介して工具本体3の先端部6に固定(径方向支持)されるのみならず、緩衝部材11を介しても工具本体3に固定(軸O方向支持)されることになり、よって工具本体3に対する切削ヘッド2の取り付け安定性が向上する。
また、本実施形態のように切削ヘッド2が超硬合金等の硬質材料からなる場合に、緩衝部材11が配設されていることで、該切削ヘッド2が鋼材からなる工具本体3に直接接触して傷付けてしまうようなことが防止される。
Further, since the buffer member 11 is disposed between the end surface 2c facing the base end side of the cutting head 2 and the end surface 3a facing the distal end side of the tool body 3 in contact with the end surfaces 2c and 3a, The following effects are achieved.
That is, the cutting head 2 is not only fixed (radially supported) to the distal end portion 6 of the tool body 3 via the fastening member 7 as described above, but also fixed to the tool body 3 via the buffer member 11 ( Therefore, the mounting stability of the cutting head 2 with respect to the tool body 3 is improved.
Further, when the cutting head 2 is made of a hard material such as cemented carbide as in the present embodiment, the cushioning member 11 is provided so that the cutting head 2 directly contacts the tool body 3 made of steel. Thus, it is prevented from being damaged.

尚、本発明は前述の実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲において種々の変更を加えることが可能である。   The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
