ABSTRACT:
An insert for use in a ball nose end mill is provided that includes an insert body having a top wall, a bottom wall, and at least one arcuate side wall. An arcuate cutting edge is defined at an intersection between the top and side walls that includes a plurality of sinusoidal undulations for reducing cutting forces, and vibration, and enhancing the breaking and removal of chips removed from a workpiece during a cutting operation. An end portion of the insert crosses the axis of rotation when the insert is mounted in the seat of an end mill body, and the undulations reduce the considerable shear forces applied to the cutting edge at this location. The cutting edge has a profile which follows the contour of a sphere to permit machining a rounded cut. The side wall of the insert body includes an upper relief portion disposed directly under the cutting edge, with a relief angle for preventing the undulations from making unwanted striations or tool marks in the sidewalls of the rounded cut.
