MILLING CUTTER WITH A TANGENTIAL CUTTING INSERT

摘要

A tangential cutting insert has two opposing side surfaces and a peripheral surface extending between the side surfaces. The peripheral surface has four identical end surfaces. The intersections of the end and side surfaces include major cutting edges. The intersection of end surfaces and adjacent end surfaces include minor cutting edges. Each of the major and minor cutting edges has a rake surface extending in an inward direction of the cutting insert. In a side view of the cutting insert the major cutting edges are concave.
