CUTTING TOOL FOR MACHINING FIBER COMPOSITE MATERIALS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240024970 titled 'CUTTING TOOL FOR MACHINING FIBER COMPOSITE MATERIALS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a cutting tool designed for machining fiber composite materials. The tool consists of a clamping section and a cutting section that extend along a longitudinal axis. The cutting section has a cylindrical shape and is equipped with first and second chipping flutes that form left-hand and right-hand spirals respectively. These spirals intersect to create discrete cutting elements on the cutting section. The cutting elements have two circumferential cutting edges, one running along the left-hand spiral and the other along the right-hand spiral. These cutting edges form a common enveloping cylinder surface that defines the outer circumference of the cutting section. The cutting edges converge to a common tip, and primary free surfaces adjoin the circumferential cutting edges in the circumferential direction, with one another along a first free surface edge.
- The cutting tool is designed specifically for machining fiber composite materials.
- It consists of a clamping section and a cutting section that extend along a longitudinal axis.
- The cutting section has a cylindrical shape and is equipped with left-hand and right-hand spiraling chipping flutes.
- The intersecting chipping flutes create discrete cutting elements on the cutting section.
- The cutting elements have two circumferential cutting edges, one running along a left-hand spiral and the other along a right-hand spiral.
- The cutting edges form a common enveloping cylinder surface that defines the outer circumference of the cutting section.
- The cutting edges converge to a common tip.
- Primary free surfaces adjoin the circumferential cutting edges in the circumferential direction, with one another along a first free surface edge.
Potential Applications:
- Machining fiber composite materials in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and construction.
- Cutting and shaping carbon fiber, fiberglass, and other composite materials used in various applications.
Problems Solved:

Original Abstract Submitted
a cutting tool for machining fiber composite materials has clamping section and a cutting section which extend along a longitudinal axis. the cutting section has a basic cylindrical shape. first chipping flutes form left-hand spirals and second chipping flutes form right-hand spirals. intersecting first and second chipping flutes form a plurality of discrete cutting elements on the cutting section. the cutting elements have a first circumferential cutting edge running along a left-hand spiral and a second circumferential cutting edge running along a right-hand spiral. the cutting edges run along a common enveloping cylinder surface that defines the outer circumference of the cutting section. the first and second circumferential cutting edges open into a common tip. primary free surfaces adjoin the circumferential cutting edges in the circumferential direction and they adjoin one another along a first free surface edge.
