Abstract
Abstract Rectangular blocks or inserts of cutting material having a center hole are secured by conically headed screws in peripheral pockets in the rotary body of a face milling cutter and are adapted for selective indexing about the screw axis into a plurality of cutting positions. One of the abutments defining each indexed position of the insert is itself mounted for indexing about its central axis and is locked in place by a conically headed screw which crowds the abutment against the cutter body.
