A milling cutting insert has a substantially triangular shape. The cutting insert contains a top side, an underside, and circumferential side surfaces extending between the top side and the underside. Cutting edges are formed at the transition of the circumferential side surfaces to the top side and/or the underside. On the circumferential side surfaces at least two discrete planar abutment surfaces are formed for positioning the cutting insert in a tool holder. The at least two discrete planar abutment surfaces are inclined with respect to each other at an outer angle of between 190° and 220° and the abutment surfaces are spaced from each other with respect to the circumferential direction of the cutting insert.

An indexable cutting insert has opposing upper and lower end surfaces, and a peripheral surface including three side surfaces and three corner surfaces. Each corner surface intersects the upper end surface to form an upper cutting edge, and each side surface has a locating surface. The lower end surface has three radially outward facing lower abutment surfaces. The three locating surfaces define a first imaginary triangle having three first bisector planes and three locating planes, and the three lower abutment surfaces define a second imaginary triangle having three second bisector planes. None of the first and second bisector planes are coplanar, and each locating plane intersects two of the upper cutting edges. For each index position of the cutting insert in an insert receiving pocket of a cutting tool, one of the locating surfaces and one of the lower abutment surfaces is in contact with pocket walls thereof.

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 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 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.

Provided is a cutting insert that can suppress damage of a corner cutting edge. The cutting insert has an approximately polygonal shape, and is constituted of a main cutting edge and a corner cutting edge connected to the main cutting edge. The cutting insert includes: a first side face portion that is connected to the main cutting edge, has a negative clearance angle, and is formed such that height thereof increases gradually in a direction of approaching the corner cutting edge; and a second side face portion that is connected to the corner cutting edge, has a negative clearance angle, and has height that is greater than the first side face portion.

Provided is a cutting insert and a cutting tool equipped with the cutting tool improving the force to clamp the insert and improving the strength of the insert and the chip dischargeability. The cutting insert includes: an upper surface, which is a first end surface; a lower surface, which is a surface on an opposite side to the upper surface, and is a second end surface having an installing surface for installing a cutting tool; a screw hole which has an axial line penetrating from the upper surface to the lower surface; a peripheral side surface which is formed such that the upper surface and the lower surface are connected; a major cutting edge and an inner cutting edge which are formed in an intersecting region between the upper surface and the peripheral side surface, and an intersecting region between the lower surface and the peripheral side surface, respectively; and a constraining surface which is formed on the peripheral side surface so as to at least partially contact with a body. An angle of the major cutting edge and an angle of the constraining surface are different in a top view viewed from the upper surface, and the angle of the major cutting edge is smaller than the angle of the constraining surface.

A cutting insert has an upper surface having a long side, a short side, a lower surface, a lateral surface and a through hole. The lateral surface has a first lateral surface. The first lateral surface has a first plane that is overlapped with a central axis of the through hole in a front view and is parallel to the central axis, a second plane that is located closer to the short side than the first plane and is parallel to the central axis, a third plane that is located more away from the short side than the first plane and is parallel to the central axis, and a first inclined surface that is located between the second plane and the upper surface and comes closer to the central axis as coming closer to the long side. The first inclined surface is located away from the first plane.

A milling insert for a side and face milling tool includes an upper side defining an upper extension plane, a lower side defining a lower extension plane, and a side surface extending between the upper and the lower sides around a periphery of the insert that includes a main radial clearance surface, two opposite axial clearance surfaces and two corner clearance surfaces. At least one cutting edge is formed in a transition between the upper and the side surfaces, wherein each cutting edge includes a main cutting edge extending above the main radial clearance surface and two corner cutting edges extending above the corner clearance surfaces on opposite sides of the main cutting edge. The main cutting edge slopes downward toward a midpoint of the main cutting edge and the main cutting edge and the main radial clearance surface slope outward from the corner cutting edges toward the midpoint.

Indexable insert has a non-rectangular parallelogram shape with nearly rhombic basic shape and an imaginary intermediate plane spanned by four corners of an imaginary rhombus with sides running at a distance away from the upper side and the underside along the peripheral lateral surface in a plane such that each equivalent cutting edge has the same variation of distance and angle from the intermediate plane. Two diagonally opposing corners of both the upper side and the underside each have a greater distance from the intermediate plane than do the respective diagonally opposing corners of the upper side and the underside lying therebetween, and the diagonally opposing corners of the upper side and of the underside are shifted parallel to the intermediate plane and, as viewed in a plan view onto the intermediate plane, in mutually opposite directions away from the associated diagonals of the rhombus spanning the intermediate plane.
