A milling tool with a disk- or strip-shaped base body, which can be driven around an axis of rotation, and several cutting inserts arranged along the outer circumference of the base body on opposite sides from one another, wherein the cutting inserts, viewed in the axial direction, overlap one another. The invention also relates to a tangential cutting insert for a milling tool of the above-mentioned type, with two side surfaces, through which a fastening opening extends, and two face ends, wherein cutting edges are formed at the junction of the front faces to the side surfaces, wherein the fastening opening is positioned eccentrically.

A cutting insert including first cutting edges and second cutting edges respectively formed in a first end surface and a second end surface which are opposed to each other; at least one groove formed in a peripheral side surface which connects the first end surface and the second end surface; and, while one end of the groove reaches the first end surface, another end thereof reaches the second end surface, and an opening width in the first end surface is different from an opening width in the second end surface.

A milling tool is disclosed. The milling tool may include an elongated body having a longitudinal axis and a plurality of cutting inserts. The cutting inserts may each have a cutting edge and a cutting radius and be coupled to the body and spaced along the longitudinal axis. One or more of the plurality of cutting inserts may be adjustable (e.g., mechanically adjustable) between first and second cutting radii. A difference between the first and second cutting radii may be at least 10 m. The milling tool may include cutting inserts having a plurality of different cutting radii. The milling tool may be configured to have a length that spans an entire height of an engine bore. The cutting inserts having different radii may compensate for dimensional errors in an engine bore diameter that occur when milling a deep pocket.

Provided is a rotary milling tool capable of finishing a milled surface to produce a smooth and glossy surface. A rotary milling tool in which a plurality of chip discharge grooves (2) are provided to the outer periphery of a tip part of a tool body (1), the plurality of chip discharge grooves (2) extending from the tool tip toward the tool base, and bottom blades (5, 6) are provided to an intersection ridge part at the intersection of a rake surface (3) of the chip discharge grooves (2) and a tip flank surface (4) of the tool body (1), each of the bottom blades (5, 6) being formed integrally with the tool body (1), wherein a convex edge (7) that is convex toward a tool-axis-direction tip is formed on at least one of the bottom blades (5, 6), and the convex edge (7) is formed by the connection of a plurality of linear edges that are substantially linear.

A cutting insert (1) has a first end surface (2); a second end surface (3) opposing the first end surface; and a peripheral side surface (4) connecting the first and second end surfaces. A cutting edge (6) extends along an intersecting edge between the first end surface and the peripheral side surface. A land (20) is formed in the first end surface and extends along the cutting edge. At least one groove (18) is formed in the peripheral side surface, each groove forming an opening in the first end surface and separating the cutting edge into a plurality of portions. In a plan view of the first end surface, a portion of the land adjacent to an end area (S) of the groove, has a greater width than a width of a portion of the land which is distant from the groove.

A rotary cutting tool is provided which, although it has a simple configuration, allows the arrangement of each cutting edge to be easily adjusted. A first cartridge mounting seat has an upper wall surface opposing an outer side surface of a cartridge and further has a first recessed part into which a protrusion is inserted and which comes into contact, at a bottom thereof, with a leading end of the protrusion. A second cartridge mounting seat has an upper wall surface opposing an outer side surface of a cartridge and further has a second recessed part into which a protrusion is inserted and which comes into contact, at a bottom thereof, with a leading end of the protrusion. A depth of the second recessed part is greater than a depth of the first recessed part. An amount of protrusion P of the protrusion is equal to or greater than the depth of the second recessed part.

A milling cutter is configured to process an edge of a workpiece to a required profile. The required profile includes a first portion and a second portion coupled to the first portion. The milling cutter includes a shank having a central axis, at least one first cutting edge, and at least one second cutting edge. The first cutting edge is configured to rotate around the central axis of the shank along a first rotation path to process the first portion of the predetermined profile, and the second cutting edge is configured to rotate around the central axis of the shank along a second rotation path to process the second portion of the predetermined profile. The first rotation path is different from, and connected to the second rotation path.

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 double-sided tangential cutting insert comprising a pair of cutting rake faces, a pair of major side surfaces and a pair of opposing minor side faces each having a twisted convex shape. Each of the cutting rake faces is defined between a pair of main cutting edges, a pair of full nose cutting edges, and a pair of opposing convex minor cutting edges. Each of the minor side faces is defined between one of the convex minor cutting edges at one of the rake faces and one of the convex minor cutting edges at the other one of the rake faces wherein, at each minor side face, a ridge line interconnects an apex of the convex minor edge at the one of the rake faces and an apex of the convex minor cutting edge at the other one of the rake faces. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein.

A roughing end mill includes: an end mill main body rotated about an axis; and four or more of outer peripheral cutting edges provided on an outer circumference of a tip part of the end mill main body spaced apart in a circumferential direction, each of the outer peripheral cutting edges extending from a tip of the end mill main body to a rear side, wherein each of outer peripheral cutting edges includes a waveform cutting edge that is concaved and convexed in a radial direction, a phase is shifted within one pitch, and the waveform cutting edges of the outer peripheral cutting edges have one or more parts, in which phases of the waveform cutting edges are sequentially shifted multiple times toward a rear end side of the end mill main body, and shifted the same multiple times toward a tip end side of the end mill main body.
