A double-sided, indexable milling insert has a round basic shape defined by an imaginary cylinder, which is concentric with a center axis and extends between two reference planes that extend perpendicular to the center axis and are equidistantly separated from a neutral plane. The milling insert includes a pair of opposite chip faces located in the reference planes between which an envelope surface concentric with the center axis extends, a plurality of identical and alternately usable cutting edges along the peripheries of the chip faces, and lock means for rotationally securing the milling insert in one of several predetermined index positions. The individual cutting edge has the shape of a wave trough and includes two edge segments that meet at a bottom point.
A milling tool comprising;
The milling tool according to claim 18, wherein a number of homologous lock members disposed in the individual chip face of the milling insert is equal to the number of cutting edges along the same, and that the shape of the lock members follows the shape of the cutting edges, such that crests serving as male members extend out toward the end points of the cutting edges, while chutes, which serve as female members, extend out toward the bottom points of the cutting edges.
A double-sided, indexable milling insert having a round basic shape defined by an imaginary cylinder, which is concentric with a centre axis and extends between two reference planes, which individually extend perpendicular to the centre axis and are equidistantly separated from a neutral plane, the milling insert comprising:
