[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the milling fast feed insert has a hexagonal prism structure and is formed with an upper end face 1, a lower end face and six side end faces. Two opposite end faces of the six side end faces are side positioning faces 2. A flank face 3 and an auxiliary face 4 are respectively formed between the two ends of the two side positioning faces 2. The two flank faces 3 and the auxiliary face 4 are arranged opposite to each other and are respectively connected to the one side positioning face 2. The two connected end faces are connected by arc surfaces 5.
[0024] The main body of the milling fast feed blade is provided with a mounting hole slot 6 penetrating the upper end surface and the lower end surface;
[0025] A main cutting edge 7 is formed at the intersection of the upper end face 1 and each flank face 3. Each main cutting edge 7 is connected to a rounded tip 8. Each rounded tip 8 is formed by the intersection of the upper end face 1 and a curved surface 5, and its two ends are respectively connected to a side positioning surface 2 and the flank face 3;
[0026] A chip groove 9 is formed on the upper end surface 1 between the mounting hole groove 6 and each main cutting edge 7 and the rounded tip 8. Each chip groove 9 includes a first rake face 901, a second rake face 902, a chip flow surface 903, a chip groove bottom 904, and a chip rewinding surface 905. The two chip grooves 904 are smoothly connected by two transition surfaces, and each transition surface is smoothly connected to an auxiliary surface 4.
[0027] During cutting, the lower end face of the insert is the main positioning face, and only one of the adjacent side positioning faces 2 and auxiliary faces 4 participates in positioning. When the insert is indexed, the other face participates in the new positioning.
[0028] Specifically, each first rake face 901 and second rake face 902 is a bevel, and forms a first rake angle A and a second rake angle B with the horizontal plane 100, respectively. Each flank face 3 and main cutting edge 7 forms a clearance angle C and a main deflection angle D with the machining surface 200. Each first rake angle A is between 4.2° and 4.6°, each second rake angle B is between 4.1° and 4.4°, each clearance angle C is between 12° and 18°, and each main deflection angle D is between 15° and 22°. Preferably, the first rake angle A is 4.38°, the second rake angle B is 4.23°, the clearance angle C is 15°, and the main deflection angle D is 18.63°.
[0029] Specifically, the width L1 of each first rake face 901 is less than 0.1 mm, the height difference L3 between it and each anti-chip surface 905 is between 0.1 mm and 0.2 mm, the height difference L2 between each flute bottom 904 and an anti-chip surface 905 is between 0.2 mm and 0.3 mm, and the angle E between each anti-chip surface 905 and the horizontal plane 100 is between 20° and 30°. Preferably, the width L1 of the first rake face 901 is 0.098 mm, the height difference L3 between it and the anti-chip surface 905 is 0.15 mm, the height difference L2 between the flute bottom 904 and the anti-chip surface 905 is 0.20 mm, and the angle E between the anti-chip surface 905 and the horizontal plane 100 is 25°.
[0030] Specifically, the radius of each rounded tip 8 is between 0.7 mm and 0.9 mm. Preferably, the radius of the rounded tip 8 is 0.78 mm.
[0031] In the above embodiment, the maximum size of the cross section of the milling fast feed blade is between 8 mm and 16 mm; the contours of the lower end face and the upper end face are different and are non-mirror surfaces, and the mounting hole slot 6 can match a suitable screw to pass through and lock the blade on the corresponding cutter body.
[0032] During milling, cutting is performed by the main cutting edge 7. Due to the small main rake angle D, the cutting depth does not exceed 0.5mm, and the resulting chips are also thin. Simultaneously, during the cutting process, the tool is subjected to a large axial force and a small radial force. The large axial force acts as if the tool is "pressing" the tool against the workpiece surface, resulting in a relatively high toolholder rigidity. The small radial force has a negligible effect on the axial force, resulting in no blade chattering during prolonged suspension. Furthermore, due to the low radial force, the blade feed rate can be increased during cutting, resulting in high cutting speeds and rapid chip guiding and breaking. Production verification has demonstrated that the cutting depth can reach Apmax = 0.5mm and the feed per tooth Fzmax = 0.6mm. This achieves cutting efficiency 3-5 times that of conventional alloy milling cutters, while reducing costs by over 70%. Furthermore, the high feed rate reduces cutting heat generation, prolongs tool life, and allows for easy blade replacement. This makes the cutting tool particularly suitable for milling difficult-to-machine materials and can effectively replace conventional solid alloy milling cutters for fast and efficient bottom-edge roughing.
[0033] The above does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
