A cutting insert which is suitable for high cutting speed, a tool body thereof and a tool are provided. A tool according to the present invention is a tool in which a leading end thereof is provided with a force transmitting portion and for which a rotational axis extending from the leading end to a base end thereof is defined, wherein the tool comprises a cam portion which is arranged closer to the base end than the force transmitting portion and for which a dimension from the rotational axis of the tool varies in accordance with an angle at which the cam portion is rotated around the rotational axis.

A cutting insert of the present invention comprises: an upper surface and a lower surface; first and second lateral surfaces; first and second cutting edge parts; and corner cutting edges, wherein the first cutting edge part includes: a first main cutting edge for forming one end at a portion spaced farthest away from the corner cutting edge; a first sub-cutting edge connected to the corner cutting edge; and a first auxiliary cutting edge for connecting the first main cutting edge and the first sub-cutting edge so as to form a step between the same, and the first sub-cutting edge and the corner cutting edge form one straight line when viewed toward the first lateral surface, and are inclined upward in the direction opposite to the direction toward the lower surface while gradually going in the direction toward the second cutting edge part.

A cutting tool assembly includes: a cutter body extending perpendicularly from a bottom surface and including a cylindrical portion with a rotational axis; insert pockets disposed and formed concavely in the bottom surface and the cylindrical portion to be spaced apart from each other along a circumferential direction; fixed cutting inserts mounted within the insert pockets and disposed at the outermost portion of the cutter body in a radial direction; and stepped cutting inserts mounted within the insert pockets, the stepped cutting insert being disposed between two adjacent fixed cutting inserts. The fixed cutting insert is disposed to have an identical length from the rotational axis and an identical length from the bottom surface. At least one stepped cutting insert is disposed to have a different length from the rotational axis and a different length from the bottom surface compared to the remaining stepped cutting inserts.

A prismatic and cylindrical cutting insert for long edge rotary milling applications has multiple indexable cutting edges ranging from four to six or even more depending on the actual milling applications. Each cutting edge of a prismatic or cylindrical cutting insert provides a positive cutting geometry and is equivalent to an indexable cutting edge of a traditional single-sided parallelogram-shaped cutting insert having two indexable cutting edges (often referred as A-Style insert). The prismatic and cylindrical (including tapered or conical) cutting insert may be used for machining a wide range of materials including difficult-to-machine materials, cast-iron and alloys, aluminum and alloys, carbon steels, and fiber reinforced composites.

A cutting tool has a tool body having at least one pocket, at least one cutting insert releasably fixed to the pocket and a fastening device for securing the insert in the pocket. The pocket has a raised portion) with a flat upper support face arranged to be received in a recess of the insert and support the insert by receiving a bottom surface of the recess bearing on the support face. A projecting member of the raised portion has delimiting walls designed to bear against border walls of the recess of an insert for establishing mutual contact therewith and prevent rotation of the insert in the pocket by receiving a rotational moment acting on the insert in an active chip-removing state of the tool.
