The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. An indexable milling insert having a trigon shape, the milling insert comprising a mounting hole placed centrally in the milling insert, an upper side and a lower side, which sides are parallel with each other and act as an alternating first support surface and second support surface, and major cutting edges, the major cutting edges being oriented perpendicularly to an axis of the mounting hole as well as arranged in such a way that each of a turning of the milling insert around a center of the mounting hole into an alternative cutting position and a flipping of the milling insert into an alternative cutting position provides an identical position of the major cutting edges in relation to a workpiece, wherein the major cutting edges of the milling insert are provided on the milling insert such that, when the insert is tangentially mounted in a cutting body, a shortest distance of the major cutting edges to the axis of the mounting hole in top view is smaller than a distance of a third support surface to an axis of the hole.
2. Milling insert according to claim 1, wherein the distance in top view between each major cutting edge and an adjacent third support surface grows in a direction from a nose edge associated with the major cutting edge.
3. Milling insert according to claim 1, wherein the milling insert comprises three major cutting edges placed on edges of the respective lower and upper sides near a cutting corner.
4. Milling insert according to claim 1, wherein the milling insert is provided with third support surfaces placed along the sides of the milling insert at a right angle in relation to an imaginary extension of the first support surface.
5. Milling insert according to claim 4, wherein the milling insert is provided with additional third support surfaces placed along the sides of the milling insert at a right angle in relation to an imaginary extension of the second support surface.
6. Milling insert according to claim 5, wherein the third support surfaces are pair-wise arranged in direct connection with and on both sides of a cutting corner of the milling insert.
7. Milling insert according to claim 1, wherein clearance surfaces are disposed in direct connection with the first support surface and the second support surface in an extension of the respective major cutting edges along the edge of the respective first and second support surface, the clearance surfaces forming an acute edge angle with anmaginary extension of the support surfaces.
8. Milling insert according to claim 1, wherein the milling insert is provided with a corner surface placed at an angle to and in direct connection with the third support surface and at a right edge angle in relation to an imaginary extension of the first and second support surface.
