Abstract
A milling tool for face milling a substantially flat workpiece surface includes at least one main cutting element rotatable in a rotation direction about a tool axis oriented at a right angle to the workpiece surface and movable transversely to the tool axis and along the workpiece surface. The main cutting element includes a face cutter having a radially outer cutting edge corner and adapted to remove material from the workpiece surface up to maximal a nominal size. At least one clearance groove cutting element is provided and leads the main cutting element in the rotation direction to produce in the workpiece surface a clearance groove, in which the radially outer cutting edge corner of the main cutting element is guided substantially without being subjected to cutting stress.
