US 2016/0107247 A1 · MILLING CUTTER

Abstract

A milling cutter is configured to process an edge of a workpiece to a required profile. The required profile includes a first portion and a second portion coupled to the first portion. The milling cutter includes a shank having a central axis, at least one first cutting edge, and at least one second cutting edge. The first cutting edge is configured to rotate around the central axis of the shank along a first rotation path to process the first portion of the predetermined profile, and the second cutting edge is configured to rotate around the central axis of the shank along a second rotation path to process the second portion of the predetermined profile. The first rotation path is different from, and connected to the second rotation path.
