Cutting tool, which is driven with its shaft so that it rotates about its longitudinal axis or in a pushing and pulling manner, and wherein further shaft-side secondary cutting tools are fastened to the shaft, wherein the secondary cutting tools are fastened to the shaft of the cutting tool in an exchangeable manner.

A cutting insert includes an upper surface, a lower surface, a side surface, and a cutting edge. The upper surface includes a first side part, a second side part, and a corner part located between the first side part and the second side part. The side surface is located between the upper surface and the lower surface. The cutting edge is located at an intersection of the upper surface and the side surface. The cutting edge includes a first cutting edge located at the corner part, and a second cutting edge adjacent to the first cutting edge and located at the first side part. A height of the first cutting edge relative to the lower surface is constant. The second cutting edge is inclined toward the lower surface as going toward the corner part.

An indexable parting blade has opposite blade first and second sides, a blade peripheral edge, a central index axis, and at least first, second and third insert pockets located along the blade peripheral edge. The parting blade also has first, second and third coolant channels, each forming a coolant path from a corresponding inlet to a corresponding one of the insert pockets. Each coolant channel includes a rake outlet opening out to a rake side of its corresponding insert pocket and a relief outlet opening out to a relief side of that same insert pocket. The inlet corresponding to a given coolant channel is located further from that coolant channel's insert pocket than at least one of (a) the inlet corresponding to a different coolant channel, and (b) the central index axis.

A tool holder including a tool shank and a tool head connected to the tool shank. The tool head comprising an insert seat or a blade pocket. Adjacent to at least a portion of a shank side surface there is a reinforcement portion connecting the shank side surface and the tool head.

An insert adaptor for parting off including an adaptor index axis and parallel adaptor first and second sides connected by an adaptor peripheral surface which extends peripherally around the adaptor. The adaptor peripheral surface is formed with at least three pockets and bearing surfaces extending between the pockets. Each of the pockets comprises resilient upper and lower clamp surfaces.

A turning tool adaptor includes opposite first and second side surfaces and a peripheral surface which extends therebetween. The turning tool adaptor further includes a cutting portion with an insert retaining portion and a clamping portion which extends from the cutting portion. The clamping portion includes a protrusion which extends transversely from the first side surface. The protrusion includes a main abutment surface and spaced apart first and second adaptor clamping bores which open out to the second side surface and also to the main abutment surface. The turning tool adaptor has first, second and third abutment surfaces which are located between the top and bottom surfaces in a side view perpendicular to one of the side surfaces.

A clamping member in a non-limiting aspect of the present disclosure may have a columnar shape extended from a first end to a second end. The clamping member may include an upper jaw, a lower jaw and a pocket. The upper jaw and the lower jaw may be located away from each other. The pocket may be located between the upper jaw and the lower jaw. The upper jaw may include a first member and a second member. The second member may be located closer to the first end than the first member. Hardness of the first member may be first hardness, and hardness of the second member may be second hardness. The first hardness may be different from the second hardness.

A pipe machining apparatus includes a frame, a tool support, an advancement device, and an advancement member. The tool support is coupled to and movable relative to the frame. The tool support is adapted to support a tool and move the tool in a direction toward a pipe at an increment. The advancement device includes an advancement projection fixedly attached to the frame. The advancement projection includes a contact-surface. The advancement member is coupled to the tool support. Upon the advancement member contacting the contact-surface of the advancement projection the advancement member is adapted to advance the tool towards the pipe at the increment. The contact-surface of the advancement projection is shaped to always be in a non-perpendicular contact position with the advancement member.

Tool-holding device (11) for a machining tool, comprising: a tool-holder body (13); a receiving part (15) defined in the tool-holder body (13); a retaining element (17) provided with a pair of mutually cooperating jaws (17a,17b); a female seat (19) between the jaws for an engaging male portion (21) of a machining tip (23), the jaws (17a,17b) being capable of taking a locking configuration, in which the engaging portion (21) of the tool (23) is firmly locked within the seat (19) of the retaining element (17), and a disengaged configuration in which the engaging portion (21) of the tip (23) can be detached from the retaining element (17); a moveable component (25) which bear the main load of holding the retaining element (17) in the receiving part (15) when the retaining element (17) is in the configuration in which it engages the tool (23).
