Replaceable Face-Milling Head With Integrally Formed Threaded Shank-Connector

A replaceable face-milling head configured for rotating about a central rotation axis AR defining opposite axially forward and rearward directions DF, DR and opposite rotational preceding and succeeding directions DP, DS, the preceding direction DP being the cutting direction, the face-milling head comprising:

• a head rear face, a head front face and a head peripheral surface extending from the head rear face to the head front face;
• a shank-connector portion formed with external threading and extending forward from the head rear face;
• a cutting portion integrally formed with the shank-connector portion and extending forward from the shank-connector portion to the head front face;
• a cutting portion length LC measurable parallel to the central rotation axis AR;
• and
• a perpendicular plane PP adjacent the front face and extending perpendicular to the central rotation axis AR,
• the cutting portion comprising:
• a plurality of integrally formed teeth, each of the teeth comprising a primary cutting edge at the head front face;
• a plurality of flutes alternating with the plurality of teeth;
• and
• a cutting portion diameter DE;
• characterized in that a length-diameter ratio LDR defined as the cutting portion length LC divided by the cutting portion diameter DE fulfills the condition:
• 0.3≦LDR≦1.00.
