The invention relates to a milling tool for gear milling. The tool body is equipped with tangentially mounted milling inserts having four cutting edges and two holes, only one of which is utilized for a fixing screw in two of totally four index positions. By locating a screw hole in the seat of the milling insert at a distance from the radial support surface of the seat that is greater than the distance between an individual hole and a distal end of the milling insert, a clamping force is provided by means of the inherent elasticity of the fixing screw. In such a way, the milling insert is pressed against the radial support surface. By means of a transversal eccentricity, the milling insert is also pressed against a tangential support surface in the seat. By means of this construction, the two holes in differently long milling inserts can be formed with equally large distances from distal ends. Thereby, one and the same tool body can be equipped with differently long milling inserts. |

1. A milling tool comprising:
a basic body rotatable on a centre axis and including a peripheral cam having two flank surfaces converging toward a common transition surface, in each of the flank surfaces there is countersunk a plurality of tangentially spaced-apart seats, each of the plurality of seats including a radial support surface, a tangential support surface, and an axial support surface having a radially outer end and a single screw hole mouthing in the axial support surface, the single screw hole being radially spaced apart from the radial support surface by a first radial distance, the first radial distance being greater than a second radial distance between the radially outer end of the axial support surface and the single screw hole; and a plurality of replaceable milling inserts, each of the plurality of inserts having an elongate basic shape and including two opposite and mutually parallel chip surfaces, two opposite and mutually parallel clearance surfaces and a pair of opposite ends, each of the two chip surfaces transforming into connecting clearance surfaces via a pair of alternately usable cutting edges having identical shape, each of the plurality of milling inserts being fixed in an appurtenant seat by a single screw that is tightened in the single screw hole, wherein the pair of opposite ends are a first end and a second end being separated by a first insert distance forming a total length of the milling insert, each of the plurality of milling inserts including two through holes, which extend continuously between the clearance surfaces, a first through hole being separated from the first end by a second insert distance and a second through hole being separated from the second end by the same second insert distance, the first through hole being separated from the second end by a third insert distance and the second through hole being separated from the first end by the same third insert distance, the third insert distance being greater than the first radial distance between the single screw hole and the radial support surface of the seat while providing a longitudinal eccentricity between the single screw hole and one of the first and second through holes in the respective milling insert, each of the first and second through holes being separated from a respective chip surface by a fourth insert distance that is greater than a transversal distance between the single screw hole and the tangential support surface while providing a transversal eccentricity between one of the first and second through holes and the single screw hole, the longitudinal and transversal eccentricities upon tightening of the single screw applying a clamping force to the milling insert, such that the clamping force resiliently presses the respective milling insert against the radial support surface and against the tangential support surface. |
