ABSTRACT:
A peripheral indexable cutting insert for mounting to a tool holder under an axial mounting angle (a) other than zero. The insert is formed from a sintered body having a longitudinal central axis and a generally trapezoid cross-section and has a substantially planar mounting face, a substantially planar front face opposite said mounting face and opposing side faces formed therebetween. At least a pair of opposite cutting edges having diagonally opposed leading and trailing ends are formed on the insert. Each cutting edge is formed at the intersection of a chip surface with an adjacent clearance surface. Each chip surface is formed on the front face adjacent a side face, and each clearance surface is formed on a side face adjacent the front face. The chip surfaces are formed by respective linear grooves shaped in the front face. Each groove extends under an acute angle (b) opening from the leading towards the training end of its associated cutting edge with respect to the longitudinal central axis of the body and each groove has a depth continuously increasing from the trailing towards the leading end of its associated cutting edge and is provided with a substantially constant cross-sectional radius of curvature throughout its length. The angle of each chip surface permanently changes from the trailing end towards the leading end, so that, when mounted to a holder under a predetermined axial mounting angle (a), the effective chip angle with respect to a workpiece from the leading towards the trailing end is substantially constant.
