A milling cutter using a wedge to secure an insert within a pocket of the milling cutter wherein the wedge is tapered in both the axial direction and the radial direction. A screw urges the wedge within a tapered cavity to press the insert within the pocket along the axial wedge angle while rotation of the cutter creates centrifugal forces urging the wedge radially outward, thereby forcing the wedge against the radial wedge surface to further compress the insert within the pocket. The insert pocket may be extended to radially encompass the insert, thereby providing additional support against centrifugal forces for the insert. |
