A cutting insert in a non-limiting aspect of the present disclosure may include an upper surface having a polygonal shape and including a first side, a lower surface, and a lateral surface. The lateral surface may include a first lateral surface located between the first side and the lower surface. The first lateral surface may include a first region that is flat. The first region may include a first central region, a first upper region and a first lower region. The first upper region may be located closer to the upper surface than the first central region, and may have a larger width than the first central region. The first lower region may be located closer to the lower surface than the first central region, and may be a larger width than the first central region.

A milling tool includes a cutting insert, a holder, a fastener and a shim. The fastener forms a first channel cooperatively with the cutting insert. The first channel is configured to direct coolant towards a top side of the insert. In order to better prevent thermal fatigue of the cutting insert under milling conditions, the shim includes a second channel configured to direct coolant towards a clearance side of the cutting insert. A method of using a milling tool and a milling process are also provided.

A cutting insert includes a top face and a bottom face parallel to the top face. Four side faces and four corner faces extend between the top and bottom faces. At least one cutting edge is formed at an intersection of the top face and at least one of the corner faces and two of the side faces connected to the corner face. The top face forms a rake surface, while an upper part of the corner face and the two side faces form a relief surface connected to the cutting edge. In order to reduce the cycle time for crank shaft milling, the cutting insert has two diagonally opposed corners including an acute angle between 70° and 85°. At least one of the acute angled corners including the corner face providing a corner cutting edge. A disc milling tool including such cutting inserts is also provided.

A cutting insert includes an upper surface having a circular cutting edge, a lower surface opposite the upper surface, an exterior sidewall between the upper surface and the lower surface, and an interior sidewall defining a hole extending from the upper surface to the lower surface. The interior sidewall includes an upper interior sidewall portion and a lower interior sidewall portion. The lower interior sidewall portion increases in radius with respect to a downward direction of the cutting insert. The lower interior sidewall portion includes a plurality of recessed portions positioned about a circumferential direction of the lower interior sidewall portion.

The lower interior sidewall portion includes a plurality of recessed portions positioned about a circumferential direction of the lower interior sidewall portion.

A rotary cutting tool includes a cutting head having a plurality of insert-receiving pockets for radially mounting a first type of cutting insert in a first cutting region and for tangentially mounting a second type of cutting insert in a second cutting region. The first cutting region has a first length, L1, and the second cutting region has a second length, L2, that is greater in magnitude than the first length, L1. The two types of cutting inserts provides a hybrid cutting insert design in which the first type of cutting inserts provide an increased chip gash volume for effective chip evacuation, and the second type of cutting inserts provide an increased core diameter to minimize deflection of the rotary cutting tool.

A cutting insert according to an embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a circular double-sided cutting insert including a top surface, a bottom surface, a lateral surface, and a cutting edge, and mounted to a cutting tool, in which a plurality of clearance surfaces and a plurality of fastening surfaces are located on the lateral surface, and among the plurality of fastening surfaces, a fastening surface, which is brought into contact with the cutting tool upon mounting of the cutting insert to the cutting tool, forms an acute angle with respect to the top surface or the bottom surface acting as a rake surface.
