An insert adaptor is configured for providing secure clamping of an insert in an insert pocket. The insert adaptor is configured to be located between an insert and an insert pocket and includes at least one magnetic surface configured for applying a magnetic attraction force to the insert pocket or a shim.

The described rotary cutting tool comprises a tool body extending along a rotational axis and a cutting insert comprising at least one cutting edge. The tool body is mounted in a mounting pocket delimited by two clamping fingers. A clamping finger bore is provided on each of the clamping fingers. The cutting insert also has a through bore. A holding element is arranged in the clamping finger bores and in the through bore to couple the cutting insert to the tool body. A section of the holding element located within the through bore is crowned. A holding element for such a rotary cutting tool is also presented.

A tool body to which a replaceable cutting insert is fixed includes: a holder: an insert mounting seat that is provided on a first surface of the holder; a clamp member that constrains the cutting insert placed on the insert mounting seat; and an operating member that presses a pressure receiving surface of the clamp member. The clamp member has the pressure receiving surface, a spherical head portion that is formed into a spherical crown shape, and a hook portion that protrudes to a side opposite to a side of the spherical head portion when seen from a side of the first surface. The insert mounting seat supports the clamp member to be swingable with the spherical head portion as a fulcrum, and the hook portion contacts a diameter reducing portion that is formed on an inner peripheral surface of an mounting hole for the cutting insert in a state in which the pressure receiving surface is pressed.

Tool for machining a workpiece having a cutting insert with at least one cutting edge. Moreover, the tool has a tool holder, which extends along a holder longitudinal axis and has at a workpiece-side end a cutting insert receptacle for receiving the cutting insert, the cutting insert receptacle having an upper clamping finger and a lower clamping jaw. Furthermore, the tool has a wedge-shaped clamping element, which is fastenable in the cutting insert receptacle for wedging the cutting insert in the tool holder. In addition, the tool comprises a fastening element for fastening the clamping element in the cutting insert receptacle and for wedging the cutting insert in the tool holder.

A clamping device is configured to clamp a cutting insert onto a holder of a cutting tool. The clamping device contains a clamping bolt and a locking bolt, wherein the clamping bolt is configured to be inserted into each of the cutting insert and the holder. The locking bolt is configured to be inserted into the holder, such that the locking bolt pre-strains the clamping bolt into clamping the cutting insert onto the holder. The clamping bolt is configured rotatable about a longitudinal clamping axis of the clamping bolt relative to each of the cutting insert and the locking bolt, such that the clamping bolt wedge engages with the locking bolt during a clamping bolt rotation about the longitudinal clamping axis.

A tool body in which a cutting insert can be replaced easily is provided. The tool body which fixes the indexable cutting insert includes an insert mounting seat which is provided on a first surface of the tool body, a clamp member which binds the cutting insert placed on the insert mounting seat, and an operating member which operates the clamp member. The operating member can lower the clamp member from the first surface toward a second surface of the tool body on an opposite side thereof to the first surface and can raise the clamp member from the second surface toward the first surface. The clamp member has a hook portion which is brought into contact with a diameter reducing portion formed on an inner peripheral surface of a mounting hole of the cutting insert in a state where the clamp member is lowered.

The invention relates to a machine tool (1) comprising a clamping holder (10) which extends along a longitudinal axis (3) and a cutting element (20) that can be inserted into an open tool-side recess (40), which passes through the clamping holder (10), transversely to the longitudinal axis (3). The machine tool (1) has a stop (30) which is secured in the recess (40) and against which the cutting element (20) rests in the direction transverse to the longitudinal axis (3).

A tool holder for a cutting insert is proposed, the tool holder being configured to make it possible to easily mount and separate only an insert that is worn during cutting or needs to be replaced for various types of machining, make it possible to easily replace a cutting insert when replacing the cutting insert, and have a coupling structure that enables replacement of even a cutting body on which a cutting insert is mounted.

A machining tool includes a tool carrier with at least one seat receiving an exchangeable, indexable cutting insert. A fastening screw fastening cutting insert to seat has a head section for support on the cutting insert and a shaft section at least regionally having an external screw thread. The seat has a contact face supporting an underside of the cutting insert and at least one lateral bearing face supporting a side surface of the cutting insert. A through-hole is formed in the contact face, through which the shaft portion of the fastening screw extends. A clamping element is disposed on the tool carrier on the rear side of the contact face of the seat, in which an internal screw thread is formed, cooperating with the external screw thread of the fastening screw. The fastening screw and the clamping element can be jointly displaced in a displacement direction.

A cutting tool includes a cutting insert resiliently clamped in an insert holder. The insert holder includes a forwardly located insert mounting portion that includes an insert receiving recess which extends along a recess axis. The insert holder includes a fastening member through hole opening out to the insert receiving recess. The insert receiving recess includes an insert orientation projection. The fastening member through hole has a through hole angular extent about the recess axis. The insert orientation projection has an insert orientation projection angular extent about the recess axis. The insert orientation projection angular extent at least partially angularly overlaps the through hole angular extent about the recess axis.
