A cutting tool includes a cutting insert having an anti-rotation stopping indent formed in a transition between a bottom surface and a side surface thereof and includes a first stop surface. The insert seat has at least one anti-rotation stop, which protrudes with respect to a side wall of the insert seat and includes a second stop surface. The anti-rotation stop is arranged to inhibit rotation of the cutting insert in the insert seat by contact between the first and second stop surfaces. The second stop surface is completely located within the anti-rotation stopping indent when the cutting insert is mounted. As seen in a section perpendicular to a common central axis, an angle of less than 180° is formed between a tangent to the second stop surface and a tangent to the first duct at a transition between the two.

An insert is provided, ensuring to vary the cutout angle of the cutting edge without replacing the body, and to prevent the change in the cutout angle of the cutting edge in the cutting process. The insert includes a constraining part, a through hole, and a blade. The blade includes a cutting edge for the cutting process. An outer surface of the constraining part around the central axis includes a pair of first constraining surfaces, and a pair of second constraining surfaces. The cutting edge in the state where the pair of first constraining surfaces are fixed becomes non-parallel to the cutting edge in the state where the constraining part is rotated around the central axis from the fixed state of the pair of first constraining surfaces to place the pair of second constraining surfaces on the same surface on which the pair of first constraining surfaces have been fixed.

The first seating surface is contiguous to each of the front end surface and the outer circumferential surface. The second seating surface is contiguous to the front end surface. The cutting tool body is provided with a recess contiguous to each of the first seating surface, the second seating surface, and the front end surface. When the front end surface is viewed in a direction from the front end surface toward the rear end surface, a length of the recess in a direction perpendicular to a straight line parallel to the central axis and extending along the first seating surface is equal to or longer than three times as long as a length of the recess in a direction perpendicular to the first seating surface and passing through a contact point of the second seating surface, the recess, and the front end surface.

A milling tool having a radial cutting edge for milling high-feed rates. The radial cutting edge having first, second and third sub-edges which extend at angles which are relatively small when formed with a longitudinal axis AL of the milling tool, thereby allowing the high-feed rates.

The invention relates to a cutting tool with a holder, a cutting insert and a screw, wherein the holder has at least one seat with a base, a first side wall and a second side wall, wherein in a plane parallel to the base the first side wall extends in a first direction and the second side wall includes an acute angle (C) with the first side wall, wherein the base has a threaded hole for receiving the screw, wherein the cutting insert has a cut-out for the screw, wherein the cutting insert has a base contact surface, a first positioning surface and a second positioning surface, and wherein in a locked position the base contact surface, the first positioning surface and the second positioning surface of the cutting insert contact the base, the first side wall and the second side wall of the at least one seat, respectively, wherein the second side wall is offset from the threaded hole in the first direction towards a front end of the seat, and in that a screw head of the screw and the cut-out of the cutting insert are provided with complementary conical surfaces, such that when tightening the screw the cutting insert is forced with the first positioning surface and the second positioning surface against the first side wall and the second side wall, respectively.

In a cutting tool rotatable about a tool axis, a reversible cutting insert is removably secured in a tool body. The cutting insert has opposing top and bottom end surfaces interconnected by a peripheral surface, and a median plane located therebetween. The peripheral surface includes four side surfaces alternating with four corner surfaces, the side and corner surfaces intersecting the top surface to form top major cutting edges and top corner cutting edges, respectively. Each side surface has a median surface and a top major relief surface. Each top major relief surface forms an acute internal top major relief angle with the median plane, and the median plane intersects the four median surfaces to define an imaginary median square. In a top end view of the cutting insert, the four top major cutting edges define an imaginary top major square rotationally offset from the imaginary median square.

A cutting insert and a shoulder milling tool are disclosed. The cutting insert includes a surface-wiping secondary cutting edge inclined in relation to a median plane of the cutting insert such that a distance to the median plane decreases in a direction toward a corner cutting edge. The corner cutting edge, as seen in a side view along the median plane and towards a main cutting edge, has a concave curve.

A cutting tool including a toolholder and a round cutting insert for mounting on a pocket floor of the toolholder. The toolholder includes the toolholder pocket floor having a bore therein and a plurality of grooves in the pocket floor arranged radially about the bore, wherein adjacent grooves are radially offset by a groove offset angle x. The round cutting insert includes an upper surface having a cutting edge, a lower surface opposite the upper surface, an exterior side surface between the upper surface and the lower surface, an interior side surface defining an aperture extending from the upper surface to the lower surface, and a plurality of lugs arranged radially about the aperture, wherein adjacent lugs are radially offset by a lug offset angle y, and wherein a ratio of y:x is an integer greater than or equal to 2.
