Abstract
A double-sided milling cutting insert has two parallel main surfaces which are turned 90.degree. relative to each other. Each main surface comprises four operative cutting corners. In each cutting corner there are two bevelled surfaces which are angled relative to the plane of the main surface. Four side surfaces are angled in order to make possible a positive cutting geometry.
Claims5
A double-sided milling insert of generally rectangular shape, comprising:
- first and second substantially similar main surfaces and four side surfaces interconnecting the first and second main surfaces;
- a first pair of the side surfaces being opposed relative to one another and each forming an acute angle with the first main surface, and an obtuse angle with the second main surface;
- a second pair of the side surfaces being opposed relative to one another and each forming an obtuse angle with the first main surface, and an acute angle with the second main surface;
- the first main surface including a planar support face, four cutting corners, and a pair of first and second beveled faces disposed in each cutting corner, each of the first and second beveled faces being angled relative to a plane of the first main surface, the first beveled face being disposed closer to a respective cutting corner than is the second beveled face, the first beveled face bordering one of the second side surfaces and intersecting one of the first side surfaces to form a secondary cutting edge therewith, the second beveled face bordering the first beveled face and intersecting the same first side surface as the first beveled face to form therewith a main cutting edge, the second main surface including a planar support face, four cutting corners and a pair of first and second beveled faces disposed in each cutting corner, each of the first and second beveled faces of the second main surface being angled relative to a plane of the second main surface, the first beveled face of the second main surface being disposed closer to a respective cutting corner than is the second beveled face of the second main surface, the first beveled face of the second main surface bordering one of the first side surfaces and intersecting one of the second side surfaces to form a secondary cutting edge therewith, the second beveled face of the second main surface bordering the first beveled face and intersecting the same second side surface as the first beveled surface to form therewith a main cutting edge.
