A reversible and indexable tangential milling insert includes two major surfaces and a peripheral surface which extends therebetween. The milling insert includes a mid-plane (M) located midway between the major surfaces, and an insert clamping bore with a central bore axis (H). The peripheral surface includes three side surfaces, each of which includes exactly two cutting portions, two relief portions and two minor abutment surfaces located on opposite sides of the mid-plane (M), each continuously extends between respective cutting portion and relief portion. Each cutting portion includes a major cutting edge, a minor cutting edge, and a corner cutting edge. In a cross section along a first imaginary plane perpendicular to the bore axis (H), each minor abutment surface is concavely curved, and on each side surface, the minor abutment surfaces converge outwardly.

A cutting tool for simultaneously forming grooves and face surface features on the face of a golf club head, and methods of using said cutting tool, is disclosed herein. The tool preferably includes at least one groove cutting portion, which creates a groove having a sidewall angle, at least one radius cutting portion, which creates each groove's edge radii, and at least one face cutting portion, which flattens and/or textures the landing area disposed between each pair of grooves and is wider than the at least one groove cutting portion. The cutting tool of the present invention preferably spins around an axis parallel to the golf club face, and can include one or more micro-feature forming portions to create positive and/or negative texturing in the land areas between each pair of grooves.

The present invention relates to an insert for slot milling, and more specifically, to an insert for slot milling which can smoothly form a front end surface of a concave portion of a slot formed at a cutting target, and provides a safe use thereof by preventing the erroneous installation of cutting inserts coupled with insert-installation seats on both sides of a milling cutter body to prevent damage of the cutting inserts and the milling cutter. To this end, the present invention is characterized in that the plurality of cutting inserts are provided around the slot milling cutter body, one of two cutting inserts protrudes with respect to one side of the milling cutter body and the other protrudes with respect to the opposite side of the milling cutter body, and two cutting inserts are formed with different structures to prevent the erroneous installation thereof on the insert-installation seats prepared on both sides of the milling cutter body.

A cutting insert has an upper surface having a long side, a short side, a lower surface, a lateral surface and a through hole. The lateral surface has a first lateral surface. The first lateral surface has a first plane that is overlapped with a central axis of the through hole in a front view and is parallel to the central axis, a second plane that is located closer to the short side than the first plane and is parallel to the central axis, a third plane that is located more away from the short side than the first plane and is parallel to the central axis, and a first inclined surface that is located between the second plane and the upper surface and comes closer to the central axis as coming closer to the long side. The first inclined surface is located away from the first plane.

A cutting tool includes a shaft portion having a cylindrical shape, a first protrusion protruding from the shaft portion toward an outer periphery and having a first cutting edge at an end portion of the outer periphery, a second protrusion protruding from the shaft portion toward the outer periphery and having a second cutting edge at an end portion of the outer periphery, and a first beam located away from the shaft portion and connected to the first protrusion and the second protrusion. The second protrusion is located behind the first protrusion with respect to a rotation direction of a rotation axis, and the first beam has a projecting shape protruding toward the outer periphery in a view at a side of the front end.
