Milling tool

A milling tool arranged for face milling of a work piece, said milling tool comprising:

• a tool body having a central rotation axis defining an axial direction, the tool body including a periphery, the periphery including an envelope surface extending along the axial direction and a front surface extending along a radial direction;
• and
• a plurality of cutting members arranged successively along the periphery of said tool body for radial and axial machining of said work piece, each of said plurality of cutting members including a rake face, a clearance surface, and a main cutting edge arranged for a roughing operation, wherein said main cutting edge is formed between said rake face and said clearance surface and extends along the axial direction and the envelope surface of the tool body, and wherein at least a subset of said cutting members, said subset having at least two cutting members, includes a plurality of secondary cutting edges arranged for a finishing operation, wherein said plurality of secondary cutting edges are formed between said rake face and said clearance surface along the front surface of the tool body, and wherein each of said plurality of secondary cutting edges includes at least a first secondary cutting edge, a second secondary cutting edge, and a third secondary cutting edge, wherein said first and third secondary cutting edges extend in a direction perpendicular to said axial direction and said second secondary cutting edge extends between said first and said third secondary cutting edges, the main cutting edges of the cutting members of said subset being situated at a same radial position along the envelope surface of the tool body, said first secondary cutting edges being situated at a same axial position, wherein said first secondary cutting edge is connected to said main cutting edge via a corner cutting edge, such that an axial position of said corner cutting edge determines a relative amount of material being machined by the main cutting edge and the plurality of secondary cutting edges respectively of a total depth of cut of the milling tool, and wherein a first end point of each of said second secondary cutting edges successively progresses radially inward relative to a succeeding cutting member of said subset, and a second end point of each of said second secondary cutting edges successively progresses radially inward and axially outward from the front surface along a periphery of said front surface of said tool body relative to the succeeding cutting member of said subset, such that the second secondary cutting edge of the succeeding cutting member has a greater length and is situated closer to the central rotation axis of said tool body than the second secondary cutting edge of a preceding cutting member along the periphery of said front surface of the tool body.
