  • a cutting tip 20 which is removed from the blank 10 includes a rearward portion 21 which is shaped generally as a trapezoid with its base 29 being substantially flat and spaced away from what will be the cutting edge of the insert. This shape at the rear of the cutting tip provides a substantial anchor for the cutting tip in the cutting insert.

  • each cutting insert By forming a blank having a relatively large number of pockets of superhard material, a relatively large number of cutting tips can be produced by each costly and difficult pressing/sintering process cycle, thereby providing an advantage in terms of economy.
  • each cutting insert By removing the tips from the blank and affixing them to the body of a cutting insert, each cutting insert can have a number of tips that is less that the number removed from the blank.
  • cutting inserts having a relatively few number of cutting tips for example 2-4 tips, can be manufactured provided to meet the demands of the market, but retain the advantage of being made in an economical manner.
  • the manufacturing costs of producing these indexable cutting inserts according to the method of the present invention can be on the order of 50-60% less than the costs of producing inserts according to the second technique described in the Background of the Invention section herein.
  • the technique of the present invention also provides the advantage of having an increased yield when compared to techniques such as the second technique described in the Background of the Invention section.
  • one defective superhard material pocket may result in one cutting tip being scrapped.
  • a single defective superhard material pocket in the second conventional technique described herein can result in the entire cutting insert being scrapped.
  • the cutting tips are provided with a geometry that positively locates the tip within the body of the cutting insert upon assembly, thus eliminating the need for complicated fixtures to hold the insert in place during brazing.
  • the geometry of the cutting tip provides for mechanical retention within the body of the cutting insert in addition to the retention provided by brazing.
  • a cutting tip formed according to the principles of the present invention also facilitates the formation of a cutting tip wherein the superhard material has a leg length that is greater than that readily attainable by conventional techniques (e.g. 2-3 mm or more). Increased leg length provides more superhard material available for machining the workpiece, thereby adding length to the useful service life of the cutting tip.
  • the superhard material of the cutting tip of the present invention extends from the top surface thereof to the bottom surface, thereby providing a first cutting edge surface on the top, and a second cutting edge surface on the bottom of the cutting tip that can be accessed by flipping the cutting insert over.
