Abstract

A ramp, plunge and feed milling cutter having a cylindrical body with cutting ribs protruding beyond the length of the cylindrical body to define a cavity. The integral single-piece construction of the milling cutter permits the fabrication of small diameter plunge milling cutters having sufficient strength in the cutting rib adjacent the cavity to withstand the forces of a machining operation.
