The technical objective of the present invention is to provide a double-sided cutting insert having a high feed rate, which can increase the edge strength and reduce the cutting load, and thus can be suitable for high feed rate processing. To this end, a double-sided cutting insert having a high feed rate according to the present invention comprises: two main surfaces that face in opposite directions; two shorter side surfaces, which connect between the two main surfaces, and which face in opposite directions; two longer side surfaces, which connect between the two main surfaces and between the two shorter side surfaces, which face in opposite directions, and the width of which is larger than that of the shorter side surfaces; and a fastening hole that extends through the two longer side surfaces such that a cutting tool fastening bolt is inserted therein, wherein the double-sided cutting insert having a high feed rate comprises a shorter cutting edge provided on a boundary portion between each of the main surfaces and each of the shorter side surfaces, a longer cutting edge provided on a boundary portion between each of the main surfaces and each of the longer side surfaces, and a corner cutting edge that connects between the shorter cutting edge and the longer cutting edge, and the shorter cutting edge has a curved shape that is outwardly convex, when the same is viewed from a direction of the main surfaces.

A rotary cutting tool has a cutting body and a plurality of cutting inserts, including a first insert removably secured in a first pocket and a second insert removably secured in a second pocket. The first pocket opens out at a forward end surface of the cutting body, having a seat surface with an axial support wall transverse thereto, and the second pocket is located axially rearward of the first pocket. The first insert has opposing front and back end surfaces, with a peripheral side surface extending therebetween which is in contact with the seat surface and the axial support wall. A first major cutting edge of the first insert axially overlaps with a second major cutting edge of the second insert, and in a side view of the cutting tool, a raised shoulder surface adjacent the axial support wall is at least partially obscured by the second insert.

A double-sided, indexable, non-positive ramping insert has a 180-degree rotational symmetry about each of the first, second and third axes of a three-dimensional Euclidean space. The ramping insert includes two first surfaces and an insert peripheral surface which extends therebetween. The ramping insert includes four cutting portions, each includes a major cutting edge, a wiper edge connected transversely thereto via a corner cutting edge and a ramping edge which extends transversely from the wiper edge in a view parallel to the first axis. Each peripheral surface includes four non-positive ramping relief surfaces, each of which extends from a respective ramping edge towards, and not beyond, a first median plane which is defined by the second and third axes.

Provided is a milling/cutting tool including: a tool main unit that is rotated about an axis; and a plurality of tips that are disposed at one end surface of the tool main unit with spacings therebetween in a circumferential direction about the axis of the tool main unit, wherein the individual tips are disposed so that turning rake surfaces thereof are inclined in the axial directions.

A cutting insert and a cutting tool having same are provided. The cutting insert includes an upper surface, a lower surface having a flat surface, side surfaces connecting to each of the upper surface and the lower surface, and cutting edges being formed by the upper surface and the side surfaces. A first cutting edge among the cutting edges is inclined downward. A major side surface among the side surfaces comprises a first major side surface connected to the upper surface so as to constitute the first cutting edge, and a second major side surface connected to the first major side surface and the lower surface. The first major side surface has a reversely positive surface, and the second major side surface has a reversely positive surface or a negative surface, and a minor side surface among the side surfaces has a positive surface or a negative surface.

A milling insert includes a first axial face, a second axial face, a first radial face, a second radial face parallel with the first radial face, a cutting face, and a generally V-shaped seating face formed with a first seating surface and a second seating surface. The first axial face defines a secondary clearance surface that is at least partially axially recessed from the first axial face and oblique to the first radial face. The first seating surface and the second seating surface are formed at an angle substantially equal to a radial rake angle when the cutting insert is mounted in the insert seat of the milling cutter. As a result, the seating face produces at least one seating surface that is substantially perpendicular to the tangential cutting force, F.sub.T, thereby reducing movement of the insert when tangentially mounted in the insert seat of the milling cutter.

A cutting tool includes a main body. The main body includes a distal end surface, a rear end surface, and a side surface. A spiral first groove and a spiral second groove are formed on the side surface of the main body. The first groove has at least four installation surfaces. The first installation surface is located on a most rear end surface side. The second installation surface is located closer to a distal end surface side with respect to the first installation surface. A length from the first installation surface to the second groove in a circumferential direction along the rotation direction of the main body is set to a first length. A length from the second installation surface to the second groove in the circumferential direction is set to a second length. The first length is longer than the second length.

A reversible and indexable tangential milling insert includes two major surfaces and a peripheral surface which extends therebetween. The milling insert includes a mid-plane (M) located midway between the major surfaces, and an insert clamping bore with a central bore axis (H). The peripheral surface includes three side surfaces, each of which includes exactly two cutting portions, two relief portions and two minor abutment surfaces located on opposite sides of the mid-plane (M), each continuously extends between respective cutting portion and relief portion. Each cutting portion includes a major cutting edge, a minor cutting edge, and a corner cutting edge. In a cross section along a first imaginary plane perpendicular to the bore axis (H), each minor abutment surface is concavely curved, and on each side surface, the minor abutment surfaces converge outwardly.

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.
