The blade body 1 can be indexably mounted on the cutter head or tool holder, reducing the number of tool changes and improving machining efficiency. The cutting edge has a serrated edge, consisting of three sets of alternating outer cutting edges 2 and inner cutting edges 3. Each set of outer cutting edges 2 and inner cutting edges 3 is connected by a 0.5mm radius arc edge 7, transitioning clockwise to the tool tip radius 8, forming a continuous cutting trajectory.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the chip breaker 4 is designed as a continuous sickle-shaped structure.

The cutting edge is connected to the outer edge of the peripheral surface, and a bottom mounting surface 5 is provided on the opposite side of the cutting edge, which is connected to the peripheral surface.
[0039] In this embodiment, the insert body 1 adopts a triangular symmetrical structure design, with each side equipped with a double-cascaded chip breaker 4: a main chip breaker 4 (1.2mm spacing, 10° long bevel / 35° short bevel) and an auxiliary micro-tooth structure (0.3mm spacing, 15° long bevel / 45° short bevel). The outer cutting edge 2 adopts a wavy serrated edge with an amplitude of 0.05mm and a wavelength of 0.3mm.

The insert mounting surface is designed with a wedge-shaped positioning groove (55° angle), which works in conjunction with the hydraulic clamping system of the tool holder. Silicon carbide whisker-reinforced ceramic matrix composite material is used, suitable for machining high-temperature alloys (such as Inconel 718), and can still maintain effective chip breaking under interrupted cutting conditions.
