Abstract

A cutting insert for use in a peripheral rotary milling cutter having a cylindrical holder and at least one replaceable, peripherally disposed cutting inserts, the cutting insert being formed with at least one cutting edge defined between a cutting rake surface and a relief flank surface of the insert. The cutting rake and relief flank surfaces are continuously curved so that the insert rake and relief angles as defined with respect to the cylindrical holder remain substantially invariant along the length of the cutting edge.
