[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. This type of roughing milling cutter with chip breaker groove guides the cutting chips into the chip breaker groove through the chip guide groove. The chip breaker groove removes the cutting chips. The triangular chip guide groove guides the cutting chips into the chip breaker groove, which cuts long chips into shorter pieces, improving the overall chip breaking capability. This prevents long chips from wrapping around the milling cutter surface and scratching the workpiece surface, affecting the workpiece surface finish, and also prevents long chips from damaging the milling cutter.
