Abstract:
A finishing tool of an end milling cutter can comprise: a chip-removing milling edge, which extends continuously with respect to the tool axis (A) over an axial length (L) on a circumferential surface (U), which is rotationally symmetrical about the tool axis, and removes workpiece chips from the workpiece surface at a radial chip-removing engagement depth (T to Tmax), and at least one non-cutting pressing ridge, which extends continuously axially with respect to the tool axis (A) over an axial length (L) on a circumferential surface which is rotationally symmetrical about the tool axis, is arranged following an associated milling edge by a pitch angle, and presses over its entire axial length (L), during the milling movement, at a radial non-cutting engagement depth (T or R S −R D ) with respect to the tool axis into the workpiece surface machined by the associated milling edge, and smooths said workpiece surface.

Claim (Index 11):
A finishing tool, in particular end milling cutter, the tool a) being suitable and intended for removing material over the area of a workpiece surface and for smoothing and/or compressing the workpiece surface in a milling movement by rotation about a tool axis (A) in a predetermined direction of rotation (D) with simultaneous advancing relative to the workpiece surface, the finishing tool comprising:\n b) at least one chip-removing milling edge, wherein the chip-removing milling edge: b1) extends continuously and without interruptions axially with respect to the tool axis (A) over an axial length (L) on a cylindrical, circumferential surface (U), which is rotationally symmetrical about the tool axis, and at a constant radial distance (R S ) from the tool axis (A); and b2) is designed in such a manner that, over its entire axial length (L), during the milling movement, it removes workpiece chips from the workpiece surface at a radial chip-removing engagement depth (T to Tmax) with respect to the tool axis; and b3) wherein the chip-removing engagement depth (T to Tmax) of the milling edge ( 30 ) lies in an interval of 6% to 30% of its radial distance (R S ) from the tool axis (A); and c) at least one non-cutting pressing ridge, wherein the non-cutting pressing ridge: c1) extends continuously and without interruptions axially with respect to the tool axis (A) over an axial length (L) on an, in particular cylindrical, circumferential surface which is rotationally symmetrical about the tool axis, c2) is arranged following an associated milling edge by a pitch angle (\u03b4), as seen in the direction of rotation (D), and c3) is designed in such a manner that it presses over its entire axial length (L), during the milling movement, at a radial non-cutting engagement depth (T or R S \u2212R D ) with respect to the tool axis into the workpiece surface machined by the associated milling edge, and smooths and/or compresses said workpiece surface; and c4) the pressing ridge has a pressing surface which increases in its radial distance (r D , R D ) from the tool axis (A) in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation (D) up to a maximum radial distance (R D ); d) wherein the chip-removing engagement depth (T to Tmax) is smaller by at least a factor of 5 than the axial length, and wherein the non-cutting engagement depth (T or R S \u2212R D ) is smaller by at least a factor of 10 than the axial length (L).
