Corner cutter cutter for roughing and finishing service on a face mill

摘要

A face milling cutter (1) for machine tools, in which the roughing cut and the following finishing cut are performed by the same tool in a single pass using a single form of indexable on-edge insert (3) at separate roughing (3b) and finishing stations (3a) on the cutter body (2). The form of insert employed provides four separate cutting edges for roughing and four for finishing for a total of eight indexable positions for each insert, all available for cutting in cutter bodies of either hand of rotation.
