Abstract:
1. An insert-replaceable grooving tool for grooving on an end face of a workpiece with an insert, comprising: a cutting insert, a cutting edge of which protrudes toward the end face of the workpiece rotating around a rotation axis line, and a tool body which has a shaft shape, the cutting insert being detachably mounted on an end portion of the tool body, wherein the cutting insert includes: wherein the cutting insert is formed so as to be rotationally symmetric with respect to an axis line of a height direction, which is perpendicular with respect to an axis line of the longitudinal direction passing through the center of the pair of cutting edges and extending in the longitudinal direction, and with respect to an axis line of a traverse direction extending in the traverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and passing the center, at the centers, and the cutting insert is formed so as to be planarly symmetric with respect to a virtual plane of the insert which includes the axis line of the height direction and is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, wherein the cutting edge includes: wherein the cutting insert is disposed along one side surface of the tool body, one cutting edge in the pair of cutting edges protrudes toward a grooving direction from an end face of the end portion, the axis line of the traverse direction is gradually inclined toward the front of a rotational direction around which the workpiece rotates moving toward a first traverse direction which is a direction from one corner portion positioned on the one side surface side of the tool body in the pair of corner portions toward the other corner portion in the traverse direction, the axis line of the longitudinal direction is inclined with respect to a virtual plane of the tool including the other corner portion of the one cutting edge and the rotation axis line, and extends toward a lower surface side of the insert body so as to gradually approach the virtual plane of the tool moving toward a first longitudinal direction which is a direction from the other cutting edge toward the one cutting edge of the pair of cutting edges in the longitudinal direction, and the one corner portion in the other cutting edge is disposed further toward the first traverse direction than the one corner portion in the one cutting edge.
