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.

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.

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°.

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.

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 invention relates to a cutting plate for a chip-removing cutting tool, comprising a cutting plate top face and a cutting plate bottom face, one or more lateral faces, cutting edges at the transition between the cutting plate top face and the one or more lateral face, and a circular chip recess in the cutting plate top face that has an outside diameter d1. In order to reduce the production costs, according to the invention the following applies to the outside diameter d1 of the chip recess: 2 mm<d1<=6 mm, preferably 2 mm<d1<5 mm.

A cutting insert may include an upper surface, a lower surface, a front lateral surface and a rear lateral surface. The upper surface may include a first upper cutting edge and an upper constraining surface. The lower surface may include a lower constraining surface. The lower constraining surface may include a lower groove. The lower groove may include a first region, a second region and a third region. The first region may be located on a side opposite to the upper constraining surface. A wedge angle of the first region may be a first angle, a wedge angle of the second region may be a second angle, and a wedge angle of the third region may be a third angle. The first angle may be smaller than each of the second angle and the third angle.

A cutting tool includes a holder and a cutting insert releasably clamped in the holder. The holder has a rear pocket surface which includes a pocket abutment surface and an adjacent pocket wedge surface. The cutting insert has at least one abutment surface and an adjacent wedge surface. When the cutting tool is assembled but not in use, the pocket abutment surface of the holder abuts the abutment surface of the cutting insert, and the wedge surface of the holder is facing and spaced apart from the wedge surface of the cutting insert. During cutting operations, the wedge surface of the insert may abut against the wedge surface of the holder.

A cutting tool used for turning operations is releasably secured to a tool holder. The cutting insert includes top and bottom insert surfaces, each surface including two pairs of insert wedge surfaces. The tool holder includes an insert pocket having a pocket top surface and a pocket bottom surface. When the cutting tool is assembled, only one of the two pairs of insert wedge surfaces of the insert top surface engages the pocket top surface, and only one of the two pairs of insert wedge surfaces of the insert bottom surface engage the pocket bottom surface.

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.
