SINGLE-SIDED INDEXABLE RAMPING MILLING INSERT AND RAMPING MILLNG TOOL

A single-sided ramping milling insert for ramping operations has top and bottom surfaces and a peripheral surface which extends therebetween. The peripheral surface meets the top and bottom surfaces at respective top and bottom edges. The top edge includes two opposite side cutting edges, two opposite ramping cutting edges, two diagonally opposite raised corner cutting edges and two diagonally opposite associated lowered corner cutting edges. The lowered corner cutting edges are closer to the bottom surface than the raised corner cutting edges. The bottom edge has two diagonally opposite bottom corner edges. The lowered corner cutting edges and the bottom corner edges are convexly curved and a depression is recessed into the peripheral surface between each lowered corner cutting edge and its associated bottom corner edge, the depression configured for providing relief from a convex workpiece surface cut by the lowered corner cutting edge during ramping operations.
