Furthermore, the cutting insert includes a first clearance angle changing portion in which a clearance angle becomes smaller as a major cutting edge flank portion formed in a major cutting edge side surface portion separates from the corner edge, and a second clearance angle changing portion in which the clearance angle becomes larger as the major cutting edge flank portion separates from the corner edge, wherein the first clearance angle changing portion is preferably positioned closer to the corner edge than the second clearance angle changing portion is, and, of end portions of the first clearance angle changing portion, the value of the clearance angle at a distal end portion from the corner edge is preferably negative.

In a major side view, each major edge has an associated first imaginary straight line containing its first and third major points, and an elevated edge portion located on one side of the first imaginary straight line. The cutting insert is removably secured in a rotary cutting tool.

An indexable rotary cutting tool and insert is capable of performing a high-accuracy cutting process with high efficiency. A twist angle of an outer peripheral cutting edge of the tool has a positive value, an axial rake angle of the cutting edge of a corner R of the tool at a boundary point between the cutting edge of the corner R and the outer peripheral cutting edge has a positive value, the axial rake angle of the cutting edge of the corner R at a reference point has a negative value, and the radial rake angle at least between the boundary point and the reference point in an entire edge length region of the cutting edge of the corner R has a negative value. The radial rake angle at the reference point is smaller than the radial rake angle at the boundary point.

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 minor cutting edge has a first minor cutting edge and a second minor cutting edge that extends inward of the insert in a direction of an insert short side face axial line, as the second minor cutting edge extends from the first minor cutting edge in a direction of an insert major face axial line. A flank face of the second minor cutting edge is inclined outward of the insert in the direction of the insert short side face axial line, as the flank face extends from the second minor cutting edge in the direction of an insert long side face axial line, and is inclined outward of the insert in the direction of the insert short side face axial line, as the flank face extends from a major face adjacent to the flank face in the direction of the insert major face axial line.
