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 cutting insert (112) comprising a top surface (118), a bottom surface (120), and side surfaces (122) spanning there-between, said side surfaces (122) comprising one or more feed-facing side surfaces (122a) and one or more radial-facing side surfaces (122b). The top surface (118) is formed with one or more linear grooves, each constituting a chip breaker (125) and being disposed parallel to and adjacent one of said feed-facing side surfaces (122a). The chip breaker (125) is characterised by a constant profile along the entire length of its respective feed-facing surface (122a). Each of said feed-facing side surfaces (122a) is disposed at an acute feed-angle ( feed) with respect to the top surface (118), and each of said radial-facing side surfaces (122b) being disposed at an acute radial-angle ( radial) with respect to the top surface (118), the feed-angle ( feed) being greater than said radial-angle ( radial).

A cutting tool includes a two-way indexable cutting insert clamped in a transversely oriented insert receiving pocket of an insert holder. The insert holder includes a forwardly located insert mounting portion that includes upper and lower jaws which together define the insert receiving pocket having a pocket front opening. The lower jaw includes a pocket lower clamping surface. The upper jaw includes a pocket upper clamping surface which faces mutually towards the pocket lower clamping surface and a pocket stopper surface facing generally towards the pocket front opening. The pocket stopper surface is closer to the pocket lower clamping surface and further from the pocket front opening, than the pocket upper clamping surface. The pocket stopper surface is further from the pocket rear opening than the pocket lower clamping surface.

An insert may include a main body. The main body may include a first surface, a second surface, a side surface, a first cutting edge and a through hole. The side surface may be located between the first surface and the second surface. The first cutting edge may be located on at least a part of a ridge line where a first side surface of the side surface intersects with a second side surface adjacent to the first side surface. The through hole may open into the first surface. The main body may further include a first concave part located from the first surface to the side surface. The first concave part may be located away from an imaginary straight line connecting the first cutting edge and a center of the through hole in a front view of the first surface.

Cutting tool holders are disclosed that include vibration dampening elements. The vibration dampening elements may extend parallel to a longitudinal plane of the cutting tool holder. The vibration dampening elements allow the cutting tool holders to have a smaller width while still providing higher grooving depth.

A cutting tool with a coolant system having a cutting blade, a cutting insert and a blade holder. The cutting blade has a first blade bore having a first bore peripheral surface and an entry gap recessed therein. On assembling the cutting tool, a fastening element clamps the first bore peripheral surface and seals the first blade bore, releasably securing the cutting blade to the blade holder and allowing a fluid connection between the blade holder and the cutting blade.

A turning tool holder with a turning tool holder shank and a turning tool holder head is described. In an installed position of the turning tool holder, a longitudinal extension direction of the turning tool holder head is a longitudinal extension direction of the turning tool holder shank which continues straight-ahead, at an angle, or over a radius. The turning tool holder head, seen in its longitudinal extension direction, thereby has two side faces, wherein a lateral coolant outlet is provided on one of the side faces, the lateral coolant outlet center axis of which lateral coolant outlet, in plan view, is predominantly oriented along the longitudinal extension direction of the turning tool holder head. In addition, a turning tool with such a turning tool holder is presented.

A cutting tool includes a two-way indexable cutting insert clamped in a transversely oriented insert receiving pocket of an insert holder. The insert holder includes a forwardly located insert mounting portion that includes upper and lower jaws which together define the insert receiving pocket having a pocket front opening. The lower jaw includes a pocket lower clamping surface. The upper jaw includes a pocket upper clamping surface which faces mutually towards the pocket lower clamping surface and a pocket stopper surface facing generally towards the pocket front opening. The pocket stopper surface is closer to the pocket lower clamping surface and further from the pocket front opening, than the pocket upper clamping surface. The pocket stopper surface is further from the pocket rear opening than the pocket lower clamping surface.

A cutting tool includes a cutting chip and a chip holder. The chip holder includes: a body part having a height dimension larger than a width dimension, the body part including a first attachment face that intersects with a cutting feed direction, and a second attachment face that intersects with the first attachment face; a chip support part whose base end portion is connected to the body part and in which the cutting chip is attached to the upper end portion in the height direction of a tip end portion of the chip support part such that the cutting chip projects to one side in the width direction of the chip support part; a reinforcement part provided along the height direction of the chip support part; and a chip receiving part that supports the cutting chip projecting from the chip support part.

A cutting tool may include a holder extended along a central axis from a first end to a second end and including a pocket, and a cutting insert located in the pocket. The holder may further include an upper surface, a lower surface, a first end surface, a first side surface, a recess, a first flow path and a second flow path. The recess opens into the first end surface and the first side surface. The first flow path is located along the central axis. The second flow path is located closer to the upper surface than the recess and connects to the first flow path. An imaginary plane that passes through the central axis and is orthogonal to the lower surface is a reference plane. The pocket opens into the recess and is recessed from the recess toward the reference plane.
