A replaceable cutting head stably rotates a head body using a work tool during attachment. An outer periphery of the head body is provided with a plurality of chip discharge grooves extending along a direction of an axis, cutting blades extending along the chip discharge grooves, and a pair of latching faces that are formed by cutting the outer periphery of the head body and are arranged back to back with the axis interposed therebetween at a base end portion along the axial direction. A first chip discharge groove, and a second chip discharge groove having a narrower width along a circumferential direction around the axis than the first chip discharge groove at at least the base end portion along the direction of the axis are included in the chip discharge grooves. At least one latching face is connected to a base end portion of the second chip discharge groove.

A cutting insert having a first coupling structure, a tool holder having a complementary second coupling structure with a seat for a milling tool system, and a milling tool system having a cutting insert and a holder are all described. The first coupling structure has a circular cylindrical element with a cylinder abutment surface, the circular cylindrical element projecting axially from a bottom surface of a central body and being arranged concentrically with respect to a central axis, A perpendicular abutment surface is arranged perpendicular to the central axis, and at least two ribs project axially from the bottom surface. Each rib has a contact area with a normal direction at least essentially perpendicular to the central axis for opposing a torque about the central axis.

A cutting insert of an embodiment of the present invention includes an upper surface, a lower surface, a side surface connected to each of the upper surface and the lower surface, and an upper cutting edge located at an intersection of the upper surface and the side surface. The lower surface includes a mount part having alternately three first top portions spaced a distance a away from a central axis extending between the upper and lower surfaces and three second top portions spaced a distance b away from the central axis in a bottom view. The mount part further has a concave part including at least the central axis. The second top portions are located closer to the upper surface than the first top portions. A cutting tool with the cutting insert, and a method of manufacturing a machined product by using the cutting tool are also provided.

A tool holder having a tool receptacle for chucking a tool shaft by frictional engagement, in which the tool receptacle comprises a plurality of annular clamping surfaces spaced apart from one another, which are intended for retaining the tool shaft by nonpositive engagement and are embodied on the inner circumference of a tube part, and the tube part has a recess in the material for varying its clamping action; the recess in the material is embodied by a plurality of annular channels extending in the circumferential direction, which are each separated from the tool receptacle by a resilient wall portion, which on its side facing away from the channel embodies the respective clamping surface.

A modular cutter head having a holder defining a threaded receiver. The cutter head can be screwed into the threaded receiver. The cutter can comprise an elongated body portion having a cutting end and cutting edge and an elongated coupling portion spaced from the cutting end, with the coupling portion comprising a core and a plurality of generally helically-extending start threads disposed circumferentially about the core. The cutter head may also include a cutting end having a chip flute and an insert seat.

A rotary cutting tool or end mill is provided, the tool comprising a plurality of pairs of diametrically-opposed, symmetrical, helical flutes formed in a cutting portion of the tool body, wherein the pitch between at least one pair of adjacent helical flutes is less than or greater than the pitch of at least one other pair of adjacent helical flutes in at least one radial plane along the axial length of the flutes, a plurality of peripheral cutting edges, wherein at least one of the peripheral cutting edges has a radial rake angle different from radial rake angle of a peripheral cutting edge of a different helical flute.
