ABSTRACT:
An indexable milling insert, including an upperside, an underside parallel to an imaginary reference plane, and two cutting edges. Each cutting edge includes a cutting edge line and is formed between a chip surface included in the upperside and a first clearance surface extending between the upperside and the underside, the first clearance surface forming an acute, nominal first clearance angle (α) with a normal to the reference plane. Each cutting edge includes a main edge, which is at least partly convexly curved as viewed in plane elevation from above, and which extends from an initial end, which determines the maximal cutting depth of the milling insert, to a corner edge having a radius of curvature that is smaller than the radius of curvature of the main edge, the main edge rising in the direction from the initial end toward the corner edge such that the distance thereof to the underside successively increases in the direction. A second clearance surface is formed between the cutting edge line and the first clearance surface, the second clearance surface having a width of at most 0.3 mm and a nominal second clearance angle (λ) that is smaller than the first clearance angle. The second clearance surface is of uniform width and the second clearance angle decreases successively in the direction from the initial end toward the corner edge.
