Abstract: Cutter plates (19) with an approximately cube-shaped base body have been created, in particular for finish-milling of a crankshaft (5). At the edge of its cover surface, the base body is provided with a hump or protrusion, which can be embodied rib- or strip-shaped, has a cutting edge each on its front and back and adjoins the neighboring lateral surface. This cutting edge is a component of the main cutting edge (33) adjoining the cover surface. A corresponding protrusion (29) is provided on the lower end of the lateral surface (27) and adjoins the end of the cover surface (22) remote from the protrusion (28). In this case the lateral surface (27) is preferably inclined in such a way that it terminates flush with the protrusion (29) without forming a concave surface area with it.
