A milling tool with a disk- or strip-shaped base body, which can be driven around an axis of rotation, and several cutting inserts arranged along the outer circumference of the base body on opposite sides from one another, wherein the cutting inserts, viewed in the axial direction, overlap one another. The invention also relates to a tangential cutting insert for a milling tool of the above-mentioned type, with two side surfaces, through which a fastening opening extends, and two face ends, wherein cutting edges are formed at the junction of the front faces to the side surfaces, wherein the fastening opening is positioned eccentrically.

A forged crankshaft assembly for an engine, and a method of manufacturing the same, has a forged crankshaft and a removable counterweight to provide access for core drilling or milling a cavity. The forged crankshaft has a pin bearing journal, a main bearing journal, a first crank arm supporting the pin bearing journal, a second crank arm supporting the pin bearing journal and connecting the pin bearing journal and the main bearing journal, and at least one milled crank arm cavity formed within at least a portion of the second crank arm. The removable counterweight extends radially outward from the first crank arm, wherein the crank arm cavity is configured to be accessible to a core drill or mill cutter only when the removable counterweight is removed from the first crank arm and inaccessible to the core drill or mill cutter when the removable counterweight is coupled to the first crank arm.

The invention relates to a tool for rotary-broaching workpieces, having a support (10) which can be directly or indirectly attached to a machine tool and having multiple segments (12) which are secured to the support (10), wherein multiple receiving areas for cutting inserts are provided on each of the segments (12), and wherein a hydraulic clamping unit (42) is provided on the support (10) for each segment (12), said segment (12) being clampable on the support (10) by means of the clamping unit (42).

A crankshaft milling cutter has a disc-shaped main body rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the disc plane and on the periphery recesses for receiving indexable cutting inserts for removing an allowance on the crankshaft blank. At least some of the recesses are open both in the radial direction and in at least one axial direction of the main body and a first group of said recesses receives cutting inserts designed for removing the allowance on an oil collar adjoining a shaft journal. To provide a crankshaft milling cutter able to meet the increasing requirements with regard to dimensional and positional tolerances placed on a crankshaft milling cutter and at the same time reduces the time needed for fine adjustment of the crankshaft milling cutter, only some of the first group of recesses has devices for setting the axial position of the indexable cutting insert received in each case therein.
