Abstract
Abstract A cutting insert, especially for milling cutters or the like, which is receivable in a holder and which insert has linear edge portions which meet at the corners of the insert. The insert is indexable in the holder to present a selected edge to work to be done. Each of the edges of the inserts are serrated or notched with respective edges embodying different numbers of serrations or notches so that the inserts can be arranged in the holder to cut completely across a surface with each insert taking only a portion of the surface.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
An even sided polygonal cutting insert formed of a hard wear resistant material and comprising a body having substantially parallel polygonal faces connected by a peripheral wall which forms cutting edges at the juncture thereof with at least one of said faces, the peripheral wall having notches formed therein extending transversely to said faces and interrupting the cutting edge in regions uniformly spaced therealong and having n notches interrupting a pair of cutting edges on one face and n plus m notches interrupting another pair of cutting edges on said one face, the notches interrupting said pair of cutting edges on said one face being staggered relative to the notches interrupting said another pair when said edges are viewed in superposed relation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
122 words
