A milling method for producing dental prosthesis parts is provided wherein a dental prosthesis white body which is to be sintered into the completed dental prosthesis part is milled out of a pre-sintered ceramic white body, in particular a zirconium dioxide white body, on a multi-axis CNC milling machine with a milling tool according to one of the preceding claims using 3D freeform milling process along generated travel paths.

Milling tools configured to increase surface roughness are disclosed. The tool may include an elongated body having a longitudinal axis and a plurality of cutting inserts coupled to the body and spaced along the longitudinal axis, each cutting insert having a cutting edge. In one embodiment, the cutting edges may have an orientation that is oblique to the longitudinal axis of the elongated body. Each cutting edge may have a first end having a greater cutting radius than a second end. The cutting edges may be offset from the longitudinal axis of the elongated body by an offset angle. In another embodiment, the cutting edges may have a textured or rough surface profile. For example, the cutting edges may have a mean roughness (Rz) of at least 7.5 m. The milling tools may increase the surface roughness of a milled engine bore to facilitate a subsequent rough honing process.

A rotatable cutting tool is disclosed and includes an elongate body having a longitudinal axis, a proximal end and a distal end. The cutting tool further includes at least one helical flute extending over a cutting length of the elongate body, the helical flute having a first end and a second end. The helical flute includes a leading cutting wall having an edge, a trailing cutting wall having an edge, and a flute surface between the leading cutting wall and the trailing cutting wall, the flute surface including a curved surface portion including a constant radius from the longitudinal axis of the elongate body. The cutting tool further includes a plurality of reliefs evenly spaced along the leading and trailing walls of the helical flute, each of the reliefs forming a semi-circular cutout on the flute surface, and wherein the reliefs in the trailing cutting wall are longitudinally offset from the reliefs in the leading cutting wall.

A cutting tool having particular usefulness in milling fall includes a plurality of flutes wherein each flute includes a plurality of reliefs spaced equidistant along a leading cutting wall or edge and a second plurality of reliefs spaced equidistant along a trailing cutting wall or edge and wherein the second plurality of reliefs are off set evenly from the first plurality of reliefs. The plurality of reliefs on a second flute are offset from the plurality of reliefs on a first flute by a distance equal to the equidistance of the plurality of reliefs divided by the total number of flutes.

A cutting tool according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a shaft portion and cutting edge portions. The main cutting edge portions have a main cutting edge. In a section within 30% of a blade length of a region from a center of the region in a direction along the central axis, the main cutting edge portions have first and second nick portions. The main cutting edge portions are formed in the region. The relationship between the first nick portion and the second nick portion satisfies at least one of a first condition and a second condition. The first condition is that a width of the first nick portion is different from a width of the second nick portion. The second condition is that a depth of the first nick portion is different from a depth of the second nick portion.
