Abstract
The invention relates to a cutting insert used for cutting metal, especially for milling for example camshafts. The inventive insert comprises at least one cutting edge (4, 4′) that is formed by the intersection of a face (2) with a flank (3). The aim of the invention is to provide a cutting insert for a milling cutter and a corresponding milling cutter the noise level of which, even if at full load, is considerably reduced for high-speed milling. To this end, the cutting edges (4, 4′) extend at an angle deviating from 90° relative to the cutting direction of the cutting insert.
Claims24
A cutting insert for cutting metal machining and for tangential and/or radial installation on a disk milling cutter, in particular for milling camshafts, comprising at least one cutting edge (4, 4′) formed by the intersection of a rake face (2) with a flank (3), characterised in that the cutting insert in plan view on to the flank (3) is in the shape of a parallelogram which is not right-angled, wherein the main cutting edge extends at an angle differing from 90° relative to the cutting direction and wherein the cutting direction is defined substantially by structures (7, 8) which are provided on the flank.
