A milling tool having a shank portion and a head portion extending from the shank portion. A head internal surface of the head portion is formed with a peripherally extending head coolant obstruction arrangement comprising a head ridge which extends in a rearward direction more than an adjacent head portion of the head internal surface located in a radially-inward direction more than the head ridge.

Cutting inserts are disclosed having four cutting edges and milling tools comprising the cutting inserts installed in pockets on a rotatable cutting tool holder. The cutting inserts comprise a front face, a rear face and four side faces extending between the front and rear faces. A cutting edge is provided at the intersection of the front face and each side face. Each cutting edge comprises a plurality of cutting edge segments, including a facet cutting edge that forms the flat surface of a workpiece being milled, and a straight lead cutting edge that extends at an angle away from the facet cutting edge. The lead cutting edge angle is selected to provide effective milling of the workpiece at entry. The cutting inserts have side seating surfaces that allow the inserts to be more stably supported in cutting insert pockets.

A cutting insert has: an upper surface; a lower surface; a side surface, having a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite each other between the upper surface and the lower surface; and a first cutting edge. The lower surface has a plurality of slots extending from a side of the first surface to a side of the second surface. In addition, when viewed from a side of the lower surface, if the angle between a ridge line on which the upper surface and the first surface intersect and an imaginary extension line of the plurality of slots is defined as θ1, and the angle between a ridge line on which the lower surface and the first surface intersect and the imaginary extension line is defined as θ2, then θ2>θ1.

A cutting insert according to an embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a circular double-sided cutting insert including a top surface, a bottom surface, a lateral surface, and a cutting edge, and mounted to a cutting tool, in which a plurality of clearance surfaces and a plurality of fastening surfaces are located on the lateral surface, and among the plurality of fastening surfaces, a fastening surface, which is brought into contact with the cutting tool upon mounting of the cutting insert to the cutting tool, forms an acute angle with respect to the top surface or the bottom surface acting as a rake surface.

A cutting insert includes an upper surface and a cutting edge. The upper surface includes a first surface and a second surface which is located further inward than the first surface. The cutting edge includes a first cutting edge and a second cutting edge. The first surface includes a first region along the first cutting edge, a second region adjacent to the first region, and a third region which is adjacent to the second region and along the second cutting edge. The second surface includes a fourth region, a fifth region and a sixth region. A width of the second region is smaller than each of a width of the first region and a width of the third region. An inclination angle of the fifth region is smaller than each of an inclination angle of the fourth region and an inclination angle of the sixth region.

This milling cutter includes: a blade part 10 having a plurality of tips 12 each having an end cutting edge 121 and a peripheral cutting edge 122, and a blade-body portion 11 which is a plate-shaped body with the plurality of tips 12 fixed to an outer circumference thereof and has a groove 113 in accordance with a position of each tip; and a body 20 being rotatable around a rotational axis and having a front-end portion 21 having a front-end surface to which a rear-end surface of the blade-body portion 11 is fixable detachably and in close contact therewith, and a front-end outer-circumferential portion whose outer diameter is 100/100 to 97/100 using an outer diameter of the blade part 10 as a reference, the front-end outer-circumferential portion having a body-side groove 211 continuous to the groove 113 of the blade-body portion 11 contacted closely.

Provided is a cutting insert that can suppress damage of a corner cutting edge. The cutting insert has an approximately polygonal shape, and is constituted of a main cutting edge and a corner cutting edge connected to the main cutting edge. The cutting insert includes: a first side face portion that is connected to the main cutting edge, has a negative clearance angle, and is formed such that height thereof increases gradually in a direction of approaching the corner cutting edge; and a second side face portion that is connected to the corner cutting edge, has a negative clearance angle, and has height that is greater than the first side face portion.

In a cutting tool rotatable about a tool axis, a reversible cutting insert is removably secured in a tool body. The cutting insert has opposing top and bottom end surfaces interconnected by a peripheral surface, and a median plane located therebetween. The peripheral surface includes four side surfaces alternating with four corner surfaces, the side and corner surfaces intersecting the top surface to form top major cutting edges and top corner cutting edges, respectively. Each side surface has a median surface and a top major relief surface. Each top major relief surface forms an acute internal top major relief angle with the median plane, and the median plane intersects the four median surfaces to define an imaginary median square. In a top end view of the cutting insert, the four top major cutting edges define an imaginary top major square rotationally offset from the imaginary median square.
