Disclosed is a cutting tool mounted on a shaft rotating about an axis, including a body having first cutting inserts mounted with equal spacing at the outer periphery of the body, which first cutting inserts have a cutting edge extending across the width of the body at a predetermined peripheral radius from the axis; and second cutting inserts mounted with equal spacing adjacent the outer periphery on a first side surface of the body, which second cutting inserts have a cutting edge extending in an axial plane perpendicular to the axis. The cutting edge of each first insert extends up to a predetermined distance from the axial plane of the second inserts; and the cutting edge of each second insert preceding a first insert extends a predetermined radial distance outside the peripheral radius of the cutting edges of the first inserts. Also disclosed is a related apparatus.

A cutting tool is described herein that includes a body configured to rotate around a rotational axis. The cutting tool also includes a first plurality of cutting teeth each extending radially outwardly from the body, each cutting tooth of the first plurality of cutting teeth includes a cutting section positioned on a first side of a rotational plane that extends radially outwardly from the rotational axis and a non-cutting section positioned on a second, opposite side of the rotational plane. The cutting tool also includes a second plurality of cutting teeth each extending radially outwardly from the body, each cutting tooth of the second plurality of cutting teeth includes a cutting section positioned on the second side of the rotational plane and a non-cutting section positioned on the first side of the rotational plane.

A socket body (1) comprises a socket space (3) which is delimited by a socket wall (2), extends along a center axis (M), wherein the socket space (3) has a socket opening (22), which is surrounded by an end surface (6). A notch (4) extends through the socket wall (2) at an angle (α) to the center axis (M) such that a spring lug (5) is formed, which spring lug (5) is bent into the socket opening (3). The notch (4) has a right-hand portion (7) and a left-hand portion (8), wherein a center plane (ME) extends through the center axis (M) centrally between the two portions (7, 8). As seen from the outer side of the socket body (1), an upper surface (16) of the notch (4) intersects exclusively the lateral surface (11) of the socket wall (2), but not the end surface (6).

A slotting tool body includes a disc-like cutter portion and a shank portion projecting rearwardly therefrom. The cutter portion includes a resilient clamping portion having a peripherally disposed insert receiving slot. The shank portion includes a peripherally disposed forward shank recess that is axially adjacent the cutter portion. A radially inward portion of the insert receiving slot merges in the rearward direction with the forward shank recess. A cutting insert is releasably and resiliently clamped in the insert receiving slot to form a rotary slot cutting tool. The cutting insert includes two cutting portions that each include a long and short insert lateral extension, the long insert lateral extension being longer than the short insert lateral extension. The longest insert lateral extensions are orated on opposite sides of the cutting insert.
