The coolant supply path includes a lead-in port for leading the coolant from the holder to the coolant supply path, and a jetting port for arc-shaped portion for jetting the coolant to the arc-shaped portion. The jetting port for arc-shaped portion has a curved shape along the arc-shaped portion. The distance between the jetting port for arc-shaped portion and the arc-shaped portion is not less than 2.2 mm and not more than 8.1 mm.

A cutting tool may include a holder including a pocket, a cutting insert located at the pocket, a clamp member configured to fix the cutting insert to the pocket, and a flow path including an inflow port and an outflow port. The clamp member may include a screw and a clamp. The flow path may further include a first flow path located in the holder, a second flow path located in the clamp, and a third flow path that is a pipe connecting the first flow path and the second flow path and including a first end part located in the first flow path and a second end part located in the second flow path.

A tool holder for a tool for machining a workpiece. The tool holder comprises a cutting insert receptacle for receiving a cutting insert, wherein the cutting insert receptacle comprises an upper clamping jaw for abutting an upper surface of the cutting insert and a lower clamping jaw for abutting a lower surface of the cutting insert opposite the upper surface. Further, the tool holder comprises an internal coolant channel extending inside the tool holder between a coolant inlet opening and a coolant outlet opening, wherein an end portion of the coolant channel extending inside the upper clamping jaw along a channel center axis opens into the coolant outlet opening. The coolant outlet opening is arranged at the upper clamping jaw and configured as an elongated opening. A width of the coolant outlet opening is smaller than a height of the coolant outlet opening measured orthogonally to the width of the coolant outlet opening. The end portion of the coolant channel is also elongated in a cross-section orthogonal to the channel center axis. A width of the end portion measured orthogonal to the channel center axis is smaller than a height of the end portion measured orthogonal to the channel center axis and orthogonal to the width of the end portion.
