Face milling insert

Abstract

A face milling insert comprising a pair of main cutting edges which are spaced apart from a center and meet at a corner where they transform into a surface wiping secondary edge, which is intersected by a bisector defining the corner between the main cutting edges, inside each main cutting edge a slope surface being formed, which slopes towards a countersunk bottom surface in a chip surface. A shoulder, having a top side situated at a higher level than the bottom surface, extends inwardly from the secondary edge, the slope surface of the main cutting edge that actively co-operates with the secondary edge, terminating at the shoulder.
