A cutting insert includes an insert body having a central longitudinal axis. The insert body has a first radial side and a second radial side. A first axial side includes a first relief face, a second relief face, and a first recess having a first bottom surface. The first relief face, the second relief face, and the first bottom surface are arranged such that each point of same is visible from either a first side view towards the first radial side or from a second side view towards the second radial side. The insert body is longer along the longitudinal direction at a central portion towards the central longitudinal axis than at an outer portion towards one of the first or second radial sides. Further a milling tool is disclosed.

Cutting insert and milling tool

A milling insert, including an upperside, an underside, and a reference plane parallel thereto. A plurality of indexable cutting edges are formed along a peripheral borderline in transitions between at least the upperside and a number of clearance surfaces. Each cutting edge includes a chip-removing main edge and a surface-wiping secondary edge. The main edge, from a first end of the main edge adjacent to the secondary edge, first declines toward the underside of the milling insert and then, from a lowest part, rises toward an opposite second end of the main edge. The secondary edge is inclined at an angle (&#x3b5;) in relation to the reference plane as viewed perpendicularly to the clearance surface of the secondary edge, such that a first end of the secondary edge connected to the main edge is situated on a lower level than the opposite, second end of the secondary edge.

A double-sided, indexable face milling insert, including an upperside, an underside, and a neutral plane (NP) parallel to the upperside and the underside, the neutral plane forming a right angle with a geometrical center axis (C). A plurality of indexable cutting edges are formed along circumferential borderlines in transitions between a number of clearance surfaces and the upperside as well as the underside. Each cutting edge includes a chip-removing main edge and a surface-wiping secondary edge, the secondary edge forming an obtuse angle with the main edge in planar view. A corner clearance surface extends between and connects each pair of upper and lower secondary edges, the corner clearance surface including first and second part surfaces which each form an acute angle (&#x3b7;) in side elevation view with respective reference planes (RP) parallel to the neutral plane.
