Abstract: A rotatable cutting tool for machining of a honeycomb core includes a front end; a rear end; a peripheral surface extending between the front and rear ends; a set of helical flutes formed in the peripheral surface at a first helix angle 45°???65°, having a first depth; and a set of helical ridges. At least one helical groove formed in the peripheral surface at a second helix angle 90°<??100°, has a second depth, which is smaller than the first depth. The at least one helical groove intersects the helical ridges so that a plurality of cutting teeth are formed on each helical ridge. Each cutting tooth includes a second ridge formed in a transition between two lands, a cutting edge and a clearance edge join in a tooth tip constituting the radially outermost point of the cutting tooth.
