Patent ID: 7367753

Claim:
A rotationally drivable milling cutter, having a carrier body ( 10 ) that is equipped on its circumference with a plurality of platelike cutting bodies ( 12 ) that comprise a cutting material that is harder than hard metal, in each of which bodies the leading region ( 18 through 22 ) of the radially outer circumferential edge forms the cutting edge, the adjacent side face ( 15 ) forms the first face with a negative rake angle, and the top face ( 17 ) diametrically opposite the bottom face forms the flank, characterized in that the cutting bodies ( 12 ) with their bottom face are each secured on the end face of blind bores ( 30 ) in the circumferential face of the carrier body, the blind bores being oriented with the angle relative to the shortest connecting line between the center point of the end face and the center longitudinal axis of the carrier body ( 10 ) such that the side face ( 15 ) bordering on the cutting edge ( 18 through 22 ) forms the predetermined rake angle.
