The cutting insert has opposing upper and lower surfaces with a peripheral side surface extending therebetween and a central axis passing therethrough. First and second clamping bores extend between and open out at the upper and lower surfaces. First and second primary cutting edges are formed at the intersection of the upper surface and the peripheral side surface. The lower surface includes first and second annular recesses communicating with the first and second clamping bores, respectively, and first and second recess channels extending from the first and second clamping bores, respectively, to the peripheral side surface. The first and second recess channels extend parallel to a longitudinal first plane containing the central axis.

A land preparation tool includes a tool body having a longitudinal axis, wherein the tool body includes a cutting surface and a mounting surface disposed on the tool body opposite the cutting surface, wherein the mounting surface includes an apex that extends along about half of the mounting surface parallel to the longitudinal axis and first and second side mounting surfaces that extend from the apex; a blade disposed on the same side of the tool body as the cutting surface; and a channel disposed into the mounting surface and extending into the tool body.

An indexable cutting insert for milling of a root between two cogs of a cog wheel includes a top surface forming a chip surface, a bottom surface, a side surface forming a clearance surface, a first and a second curved cutting edge formed at an intersection between the top surface and the side surface for milling of the root between the two cogs. The bottom surface includes a first planar abutment section and a second planar abutment section. A first groove extends in the first abutment section and a second groove extends in the second abutment section, each along an axis parallel to a virtual line connecting the apexes of the first and second cutting edges. A first and a second stop section extend across the virtual line, wherein the first stop section protrudes above the first abutment section and the second stop section protrudes above the second abutment section.

A cutting tool comprising a cutting tool holder and a cutting insert adapted to be mounted thereon. The tool holder comprises an insert seat defined by a base and at least one side wall extending from the base to define an insert seat space adapted to receive therein the insert. The seat comprises a support element extending into the insert seat from the base, and a fastening member engageable with the seat. The fastening member is displaceable with respect thereto between a mounting position adapted to allow the insert to be mounted onto the seat and a securing position adapted for securing the insert within the seat. The insert is formed with a securing cavity and when the insert is mounted onto the tool holder and is in the securing position, a portion of the support element and the fastening member is received within the cavity of the insert.

A cutting insert having two opposing end surfaces, two identical opposing major side surfaces and two identical opposing minor side surfaces. Each end surface of the insert has a concave-shaped seating surface for contacting the insert pocket the insert pocket along an entire length of the cutting insert. The minor side surfaces are convex-shaped. The concave-shaped seating surface and the convex-shaped minor side surfaces enable the cutting insert to be accurately tangentially mounted in the insert pocket.

A cutting tool may include a cutter body, and a cutting insert group coupled to the cutter body, wherein the cutter body includes a working length, wherein the cutting insert group forms a continuous cutting edge, and wherein the continuous cutting edge extends continuously through the working length of the cutter body.

A land preparation tool includes a tool body having a longitudinal axis, wherein the tool body includes a cutting surface and a mounting surface disposed on the tool body opposite the cutting surface, wherein the mounting surface includes an apex that extends along about half of the mounting surface parallel to the longitudinal axis and first and second side mounting surfaces that extend from the apex; a blade disposed on the same side of the tool body as the cutting surface; and a channel disposed into the mounting surface and extending into the tool body.

A cutting insert of an embodiment of the present invention includes an upper surface, a lower surface, a side surface connected to each of the upper surface and the lower surface, and an upper cutting edge located at an intersection of the upper surface and the side surface. The lower surface includes a mount part having alternately three first top portions spaced a distance a away from a central axis extending between the upper and lower surfaces and three second top portions spaced a distance b away from the central axis in a bottom view. The mount part further has a concave part including at least the central axis. The second top portions are located closer to the upper surface than the first top portions. A cutting tool with the cutting insert, and a method of manufacturing a machined product by using the cutting tool are also provided.

A cutting insert for a milling tool including an upper side having a central surface, a lower side, a peripheral side surface, and a cutting edge formed between the upper side and the peripheral side surface. The cutting edge having a positively inclined main cutting edge projecting at least partly above the central surface. The upper side includes a rake surface extending inside of and along the at least one cutting edge, sloping downward toward the central surface. A plateau, elevated with respect to the central surface and extending along the main cutting edge, is formed inside the rake surface. A transition between the rake surface and the plateau extends at an angle .sub.2 with respect to an upper extension plane, wherein .sub.2>0.

A rotary cutting tool includes a cutter body having a plurality of insert-receiving pockets. Each pocket includes a bottom support surface, an axial support surface, a radial support surface, a top clearance surface and an intermediate clearance surface extending between the axial support surface and the top clearance surface. A cutting insert includes a helical top surface, a helical side surface, a side surface opposite the helical side surface, a pair of opposed side walls, a bottom surface, and a cutting edge formed at an intersection between the helical top surface and the helical side surface. The cutting insert further includes an undercut for accommodating the axial support surface, the top clearance surface and the intermediate clearance surface of the pocket when the cutting insert is mounted in the pocket.
