Abstract
A milling cutter rotatable about a central axis in a predetermined rotational sense has a plurality of helical blades separated by helical flutes and each formed with a row of teeth each having an axially directed end flank and a radially outwardly turned side flank. Each of the side flanks is inclined toward the axis by an angle between 3.degree. and 15.degree. from a high end at the respective end flank to a low end. Each of the teeth is further formed with a rounded chamfer at the high end and between the flanks. Each of the rows of teeth is axially offset from the circumferentially flanking rows with the rounded chamfers of each row being aligned circumferentially relative to the rotational sense behind the respective low ends of the row in front.

A milling cutter rotatable about a central axis in a predetermined rotational sense and having an axially extending shaft adapted to be held in a chuck and a plurality of helical blades separated by helical flutes and each formed as a row of teeth each having an axially directed end flank turned toward said shaft and a radially outwardly turned side flank, each of said side flanks being inclined toward said axis away from said shaft from a high end at the respective end flank to a low end, each of said teeth further being formed with a rounded chamfer at said high end and between said flanks, each of said rows of teeth being axially offset from the circumferentially flanking rows with the rounded chamfers of each row being aligned circumferentially relative to said sense behind the respective low ends of the row in front.
