A cutting tool used for grooving and turning operations where a cutting insert is releasably securable in a tool holder. The cutting insert includes insert upper and lower surfaces, at least one of which includes an insert engagement arrangement having two converging insert engagement wedge surfaces. The tool holder includes an insert receiving slot having a clamping jaw surface and a base jaw lower surface, at least one of which includes a slot engagement arrangement having two converging slot engagement wedge surfaces. When assembled, the cutting insert is releasably clamped in the insert receiving slot. The at least one insert engagement arrangement abuts the at least one slot engagement arrangement only at the insert engagement wedge surfaces and the slot engagement wedge surfaces.

Provided is a cutting insert having two cutting parts that is capable of entering a workpiece more deeply and easily supports machining of a groove or hole having a small diameter in a workpiece. A cutting insert includes: a body having at least an inner surface to be fixed to a tool body of a cutting tool and an outer surface opposed to the inner surface; and two cutting parts protruding in opposite directions in a longitudinal direction of the body. The cutting part includes: a cutting upper surface; a cutting front surface; and a first cutting side surface and a second cutting side surface. A front cutting edge is located on an edge between the cutting upper surface and the cutting front surface. In a projection view of the body as seen from the longitudinal direction, the cutting upper surfaces of the two cutting parts are oriented in directions opposed to each other, and front cutting edges of the two cutting parts are disposed so as to be more away from each other as being closer to the first cutting side surface from the second cutting side surface.

A cutting tool includes a cutting insert resiliently clamped in an insert holder. The insert holder has a holder longitudinal axis defining opposite forward to rearward directions, and a transversely oriented insert receiving pocket having a pocket longitudinal axis and a pocket front opening. The insert holder includes a forwardly located insert mounting portion that includes upper and lower jaws which together define the insert receiving pocket. The insert receiving pocket at the lower jaw includes a pocket lower clamping surface. The insert receiving pocket at the upper jaw includes a pocket upper clamping surface which faces mutually towards the pocket lower clamping surface. The insert receiving pocket at one of the upper and lower jaws includes a pocket stopper surface facing generally towards the pocket front opening. The upper jaw includes an outer flexibility groove recessed in the holder peripheral surface.

A cutting insert includes an insert peripheral surface that includes at least one planar major insert side abutment surface and an insert lower surface that includes an anti-slip recess recessed therein. The anti-slip recess includes at least one elongated and straight anti-slip groove. Each major insert side abutment surface is oriented parallel to a groove longitudinal axis of a respective anti-slip groove. An insert holder includes a holder pocket. The holder pocket includes a pocket peripheral surface which includes planar major pocket side abutment surface and a pocket base surface having an elongated and straight anti-slip rib. When the cutting insert is releasably attached to the insert holder, to constitute a fastened position of a cutting tool, the anti-slip rib is located in the anti-slip groove that is oriented parallel to the major insert side abutment surface that abuts the major pocket side abutment surface.

The insert receiving pocket at the upper jaw includes a pocket upper clamping surface which faces mutually towards the pocket lower clamping surface. The insert receiving pocket at one of the upper and lower jaws includes a pocket stopper surface facing generally towards the pocket front opening. The upper jaw includes an outer flexibility groove recessed in the holder peripheral surface.

The invention relates to a carrier tool (1) comprising a clamping element (2) with a clamping element projection (3) and comprising a cutting insert (4) with a clamping recess (5) on the cutting insert surface (13) for machining workpieces. The clamping recess (5) has an annular indentation (9) with a recess base (7), and the indentation (9) transitions from the recess base (7) into the cutting insert surface (13) via an annular surface (8). The indentation (9) surrounds an elevation (10), the tip (11) of which lies above the recess base (7) and below the cutting insert surface (13). The clamping element projection (3) engages into the clamping recess (5) and thus clamps same on the carrier tool (1). In order to allow a pre-centering of the contour of the clamping element projection (3) and the contour of the clamping recess (5) when closing the clamping element (2), the contours of the clamping element projection and the clamping recess thus engaging into each other in a form-fitting and precisely positioned manner, the clamping element projection (3) has an annular contour (12) which surrounds the elevation (10) in the clamped state but does not contact the elevation and rests solely on the annular surface (8).

Tool system (1) comprising a tool holder (2) that includes an insert seat (17) for accommodating an insert (6) having a depression (7), further comprising a clamping element (4) that has an opening (26) for accommodating a clamping means (15), and a projection (5), and comprising a mechanism (functional dimension (Fx) that limits the linear mobility of the clamping element (4). This ensures that a disposable insert (6) can be repeatedly securely clamped.

Tool system 1 comprising a tool holder 2 that has an insert seat 17 for receiving a cutting insert 6, and comprising a clamping element 4 that has an opening 26 for receiving a clamping means 15, an interface 30 being arranged between the tool holder 2 and the clamping element 4, and channels for the purpose of cooling by means of a fluid being arranged in the tool holder 2 and the clamping element 4, and a sealing means 31 being arranged in the region of the interface 30.

The invention relates to a cutting insert (1) for installation in carrier tools for machining workpieces, comprising a top side (2), a bottom side (3), and side surfaces (4) connecting the top side (2) and the bottom side (3), wherein a peripheral protective chamfer (5) having an upper edge (6) adjoining the top side (2) of the cutting insert (1) and having a lower edge (7) adjoining the side surfaces (4) is arranged at the transition from the top side (2) to the side surfaces (4), wherein the upper edge (6) forms cutting edges (9) and cutting corners (10) and, in the region of the cutting edges (9), the lower edge (7) transitions into a cutting-edge clearance angle surface (8) having an edge clearance angle of 3 to 11. For improved edge stability in drawn cuts, it is proposed that, in the region of the cutting corners (10), the lower edge (7) of the protective chamfer (5) transitions into a corner clearance angle surface (11) having an edge clearance angle of 3 to 5.

The invention relates to a carrier tool (1) comprising a clamping element (2) with a clamping element projection (3) and comprising a cutting insert (4) with a clamping recess (5) on the cutting insert surface (13) for machining workpieces. The clamping recess (5) has an annular indentation (9) with a recess base (7), and the indentation (9) transitions from the recess base (7) into the cutting insert surface (13) via an annular surface (8). The indentation (9) surrounds an elevation (10), the tip (11) of which lies above the recess base (7) and below the cutting insert surface (13). The clamping element projection (3) engages into the clamping recess (5) and thus clamps same on the carrier tool (1). In order to allow a pre-centering of the contour of the clamping element projection (3) and the contour of the clamping recess (5) when closing the clamping element (2), the contours of the clamping element projection and the clamping recess thus engaging into each other in a form-fitting and precisely positioned manner, the clamping element projection (3) has an annular contour (12) which surrounds the elevation (10) in the clamped state but does not contact the elevation and rests solely on the annular surface (8).
