Milling tool

A milling tool comprising:

• a basic body rotatable on a centre axis and including a peripheral cam having two flank surfaces converging toward a common transition surface (6), in each of the flank surfaces there is countersunk a plurality of tangentially spaced-apart seats, each of the plurality of seats including a radial support surface, a tangential support surface, and an axial support surface having a screw hole mouthing therein, the axial support surface being radially spaced apart from the radial support surface;
• and
• a plurality of replaceable milling inserts, each of the plurality of inserts having an elongate basic shape and including two opposite and mutually parallel chip surfaces, two opposite and mutually parallel clearance surfaces, and a pair of opposite ends, and which include a through hole extending between the clearance surfaces, each one of the two chip surfaces transforming into connecting clearance surfaces via a pair of alternately usable cutting edges having identical shape, and each individual milling insert being fixed in an appurtenant seat by a screw that is tightened in the screw hole (14), wherein the screw hole is placed at a first distance from the radial support surface that is greater than second distance to the radially outer end of the axial support surface, each of the plurality of milling inserts including two holes, which extend continuously between the clearance surfaces and are equidistantly separated from proximal ends as well as separated from distal ends by a third distance that is somewhat greater than the first distance between the screw hole and the radial support surface while providing a longitudinal eccentricity between the screw hole and an individual hole in the respective milling insert, and separated from the individual chip surface by a fourth distance that is somewhat greater than a transversal distance between the screw hole and the tangential support surface while providing a transversal eccentricity between the hole and the screw hole, said eccentricities upon tightening of the screw applying a clamping force to the same, such that clamping force resiliently presses the respective milling insert against the radial support surface and against the tangential support surface.
