Machining tool

A machining tool for machining materials, the machining tool being configured to be driven in rotation about an axis of rotation, the machining tool comprising:

• a main body defining a cutter carrier surface, wherein the axis of rotation runs through said main body;
• a plurality of cutting bodies each having a cutting edge and being arranged on said cutter carrier surface;
• said cutting edges being configured to rotate in a direction of rotation which runs around the axis of rotation during the machining;
• wherein said cutting edges of a group including a multiplicity of said plurality of cutting bodies overlap in a gapless manner with respect to a direction perpendicular to the direction of rotation and thus form an overall cutting edge;
• each of said cutting edges of said group having exactly one reference point;
• wherein said reference points lie in a center of a corresponding one of said cutting edges in the direction perpendicular to the direction of rotation;
• said reference points of said cutting edges of said group are spaced apart from one another in the direction perpendicular to the direction of rotation;
• one of said cutting edges of said group being an initial cutting edge of said overall cutting edge;
• one of said cutting edges of said group being a final cutting edge of said overall cutting edge;
• an intermediate region of the overall cutting edge lying completely between said initial cutting edge and said final cutting edge with respect to the direction perpendicular to the direction of rotation;
• all of said cutting edges of the machining tool being arranged between a first end point of said overall cutting edge and a second end point of said overall cutting edge;
• said first end point being assigned to said initial cutting edge and said second end point being assigned to said final cutting edge;
• the machining tool defining an imaginary helix line running from said initial cutting edge to said final cutting edge;
• said imaginary helix line defining a central axis which corresponds to the axis of rotation;
• said imaginary helix line running at least partially around said central axis;
• said imaginary helix line having a gradient which corresponds to a quotient of a progression of said imaginary helix line in the direction perpendicular to the direction of rotation and a progression of said imaginary helix line with regard to an angle of rotation about the axis of rotation;
• all of said cutting edges of said group being at least partially arranged on said imaginary helix line;
• said group having a minimum number of teeth, wherein said minimum number of teeth is defined by a number of said cutting edges of said group that are at least situated in succession in the direction of rotation of the machining tool in said intermediate region of said overall cutting edge;
• and,
• said cutting edges of said group overlap with respect to the direction perpendicular to the direction of rotation such that said minimum number of teeth is at least two.
