Disclosed is an indexable face milling cutting insert which comprises an insert body and a cutting body laminated on an upper surface of the insert body, and the insert body comprises multiple positioning side surfaces, an upper plane, and a positioning bottom surface; a projection of an edge of the positioning bottom surface, or an extension line thereof, on a rake face is intersected with a corresponding edge of the rake face, or an extension line thereof, to form a surface deflection angle and multiple flank faces are arranged between the rake face and the multiple positioning side surfaces, so as to avoid damaging the positioning side surfaces when a cutting edge is sharpened, thereby ensuring stability and long-term effect of a positioning reference, and a face cutting milling and a wiper face milling are applicable to a same face milling insert retaining slots.

An inventive milling tool has a tool head that is rotatable about a tool axis and configured for coupling at its rear to a machine spindle. A plurality of cutting elements are distributed around the tool axis on a cutting circle, each cutting element provided with a front plane cutting edge and a peripheral cutting edge extending at an angle thereto. A channel system extends through the tool head and is configured for delivering coolant to the cutting elements. A replaceable ring is releasably fastened on a front end flange of the tool head in an interlocking manner, and the cutting elements are carried by the replaceable ring.

A mirror finishing method for mirror-finishing a workpiece includes: a step of performing a first machining operation with a first tool which has a cylindrical portion made of polycrystalline diamond or cubic boron nitride at the tip of a shank thereof and further has a cutting edge formed by forming a linear groove on the cylindrical portion; and a step of, after the first machining operation has been performed, performing a second machining operation with a second tool which has a cylindrical portion made of polycrystalline diamond or cubic boron nitride at the tip of a shank thereof with no cutting edge on the cylindrical portion.

A milling head for a ball track milling cutter includes an imaginary center axis, a first, working-side end and a second, clamping-side end opposite the first end when viewed along the central axis, and comprising at least one geometrically defined cutting edge, extending along a cutting edge profile of the cutting edge from a first cutting edge end facing the first end of the milling head in the direction of the second end of the milling head up to a second cutting edge end facing the second end of the milling head, wherein at least one cutting edge is formed as an intersecting line between the rake face associated with at least one cutting edge and a first flank face associated with at least one cutting edge, wherein at least one cutting edge is assigned a negative rake angle, a first clearance angle and a wedge angle. It is provided that a value of the negative rake angle in the region of the first cutting edge end has a different value than in the region of the second cutting edge end, that the first clearance angle in the region of the first cutting edge end has a different value than in the region of the second cutting edge end, and that the wedge angle along the cutting edge profile is constant.

A tool body and at least one cassette for a milling tool. The tool body includes at least two identical insert seats, each insert seat being configured to support a cutting insert arranged to be mounted therein. At least one side contact surface is provided in each insert seat for supporting a bottom support surface and at least one side support surface of the cutting insert. The cassette has a peripheral side surface including at least one side support surface and at least one insert seat configured to support a cutting insert. The at least one side support surface and a bottom support surface of the cassette are configured to be supported by the at least one contact surface of any one of the insert seats of the tool body, the cassette being configured to be detachably mounted in any one of the identical insert seats of the tool body.

A cutting tool includes a shaft portion and a plurality of edge region groups. The ridgeline between the first rake face portion and the first flank face portion constitutes a first cutting edge portion. The ridgeline between the second rake face portion and the second flank face portion constitutes a second cutting edge portion. As seen from the direction perpendicular to a plane tangent to the outer peripheral surface, in a state where the central axis overlaps a first end on the front end side of the first cutting edge portion, the inclination angle of the first cutting edge portion relative to the central axis is larger than the inclination angle of a straight line relative to the central axis, the straight line connecting the first end to a second end on the front end side of the second cutting edge portion.

A milling tool includes a tool head and an exchangeable cutter carrier. The tool head can be coupled to a tool holder, and the cutter carrier includes a plurality of cutters distributed around its circumference, each having a front facing face cutter and a peripheral cutter extending at an angle thereto. In this case, the cutter carrier, including the cutters, has a thickness of at most ten mm, in particular at most six mm, for a diameter of at least fifty mm.

The invention provides a dental milling tool for milling dental materials in the making of dental prostheses. The dental milling tool is a ball-nose end mill having three helical flutes, each flute being associated with a cutting edge, each cutting edge having chip breakers along the curved edges of the ball. The dental milling tool may be formed from a hard material such as carbide based material, ceramic, cermet, superhard materials including polycrystalline diamond (PCD) and cubic boron nitride (CBN), and diamond composite. Alternatively, the dental milling tool may be coated with a hard coating such as diamond coating, diamond-like-carbon (DLC), nitride based coating such as titanium aluminium nitride (TiAlN), aluminium titanium nitride, (AlTiN), and titanium nitride (TiN), and ceramic coating.

A second distance is longer than a first distance and a value obtained by dividing the third distance by the fourth distance is more than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 0.8 when it is assumed that the first distance represents a distance between the cutting edge and the mounting surface in a direction perpendicular to the rake face, the second distance represents a distance between the mounting surface and a boundary portion between the rising portion and the flat portion in the direction perpendicular to the rake face, the third distance represents a distance between the boundary portion and a tip of the cutting edge in a direction parallel to the rake face, and the fourth distance represents a distance between the second discharging opening portion and the tip of the cutting edge in the direction parallel to the rake face.

A cutting insert of the present disclosure includes a first surface, a second surface, and a cutting edge. The first surface includes a corner part, and a first side and a second side each extending from the corner part. The second surface connects to the first surface. The cutting edge is located at a region where the first surface intersects with the second surface. The cutting edge includes a first cutting edge located at the first side, a second cutting edge located at the second side, and a third cutting edge located at the corner part. The first cutting edge and the third cutting edge are provided with a honing. A honing width of a side of the second cutting edge in the third cutting edge decreases as going away from the first cutting edge and then approaching the second cutting edge.
