An indexable cutting insert has a first corner edge forming a front tip of a cutting edge portion configured to project furthest in the direction of an axis of rotation of an end mill tool receiving the insert. A major cutting edge is descending to come closer to the lower surface of the insert along its extension away from the first corner edge. The minor cutting edge extends from the first corner edge while descending from a point of the cutting edge portion most distant to the lower surface all the way to an inner corner of the insert and has a length of 80%-95% of the length of the major cutting edge including a second corner edge in a side elevation view of the cutting insert.

In a cutting insert of an embodiment of the present invention, an upper surface includes a first corner, and a second corner and a third corner respectively adjacent to both sides of the first corner. The upper surface sequentially includes a rake surface located along an upper cutting edge and inclined toward a lower surface as going inward from the upper cutting edge at a rake angle on a basis of a perpendicular plane perpendicular to a central axis extending between the upper and lower surfaces, and a connection surface located more inward than the rake surface and inclined toward the lower surface as going inward at a connection angle on the basis of the perpendicular plane. An intersecting part of the rake surface and the connection surface includes a highest position in a portion of the intersecting part corresponding to the minor rake surface. A cutting tool with the cutting insert, and a method of producing a machined product by using the cutting tool are also provided.

A cutting insert for a shoulder milling tool has a trigonal shape and includes a first surface, a second surface, and a circumferential surface extending between the first surface and the second surface. The circumferential surface includes a countersunk circumferential waist portion. The circumferential surface has a first and a second clearance surface extending along a first and a second main cutting edge. Each of the first and second clearance surfaces forma a negative nominal clearance angle. Each of the first and second main cutting edges is arranged inside the countersunk circumferential waist portion, as seen in the view towards the first and second surfaces, respectively.

A milling cutting insert has a substantially triangular shape. The cutting insert contains a top side, an underside, and circumferential side surfaces extending between the top side and the underside. Cutting edges are formed at the transition of the circumferential side surfaces to the top side and/or the underside. On the circumferential side surfaces at least two discrete planar abutment surfaces are formed for positioning the cutting insert in a tool holder. The at least two discrete planar abutment surfaces are inclined with respect to each other at an outer angle of between 190 and 220 and the abutment surfaces are spaced from each other with respect to the circumferential direction of the cutting insert.

A cutting insert (1) according to an embodiment has a lower surface (2), an upper surface (3), a side surface (4) disposed between the lower surface (2) and the upper surface (3), a pair of corner cutting edges (5) located along an intersection of the upper surface (3) and the side surface (4), and a major cutting edge (6) located between the pair of corner cutting edges (5). The major cutting edge (6) has a downwardly dented curvilinear part (61) and a pair of straight parts (62) respectively extending from the curvilinear part (61) toward the pair of corner cutting edges (5) in a side view. A portion (6p) of the curvilinear part (61) located lowermost is close to one corner cutting edge (5b) in the side view.

An indexable milling or drilling insert having a 180-degree rotational symmetry about each of the first, second and third axes (X, Y, Z) of a three-dimensional euclidean space. The insert has opposite first and second main surfaces and a peripheral surface extending therebetween. Each main surface has a main abutment surface and at least two rake surfaces. The insert has a through clamping bore which extends along the third axis and opens out to the main surfaces. The peripheral surface has two opposite front surfaces connected to two opposite side surfaces. Each front surface has a pair of outward abutment surfaces and each side surface has a pair of at least partially planar inward abutment surfaces. Each pair of outward abutment surfaces converge outwardly away from the third axis and each pair of inward abutment surfaces converge inwardly towards the third axis.

A milling insert, including an upperside, an underside, and a reference plane parallel thereto. A plurality of indexable cutting edges are formed along a peripheral borderline in transitions between at least the upperside and a number of clearance surfaces. Each cutting edge includes a chip-removing main edge and a surface-wiping secondary edge. The main edge, from a first end of the main edge adjacent to the secondary edge, first declines toward the underside of the milling insert and then, from a lowest part, rises toward an opposite second end of the main edge. The secondary edge is inclined at an angle () in relation to the reference plane as viewed perpendicularly to the clearance surface of the secondary edge, such that a first end of the secondary edge connected to the main edge is situated on a lower level than the opposite, second end of the secondary edge.
