A high-speed tool holder includes: a tool shaft for accommodating a tool at its first end, and a machine clamping part which is integrally connected to the tool shaft and forms an interface for clamping in the machine; with the tool shaft being substantially truncated circular cone-shaped, a first diameter at the first end with the tool insertion opening being smaller than a fifth diameter at the second end at the machine clamping part; and a portion of the substantially truncated circular cone-shaped tool shaft having an outwardly bulging, preferably spherical, shape between the tool insertion opening and the machine clamping part.

The present disclosure improves the machining conditions and enhances the quality of machined surfaces, particularly in cutting off and grooving machining when the projection amount of a plate-like member is large. A blade, which is a plate-like member having a polygonal shape and used for cutting machining, includes: a plurality of insert pockets; and recess portions formed by partial cutting corresponding to insert pockets respectively. A holder includes: a holder main portion; and a support portion with which a part of the recess portion formed in the blade contacts. The holder is configured in which the blade can be installed in a state where the part of the recess portion can contact with the support portion.

A surgical cutting tool includes an elongated shaft and a cutting head. The shaft defines a coupling portion terminating at a proximal end of the shaft, a stem portion, and a distal portion. The stem portion defines a central axis. The coupling portion optionally defines a deflection surface positioned oblique with respect to the central axis and connected with a first driven surface and a second driven surface. Upon insertion into a drive chuck, the deflection surface promotes self-alignment of the cutting tool and the drive chuck.

Protective cap to be placed over a political tool shank that consists of an at least partly ring-shaped casing, on which, in the vicinity of a base part, a terminating ring with a ring-shaped insertion-guide profile is shaped, wherein the casing and the terminating ring together form a receptacle space for the tool shank, wherein in the direction in which the protective cap is pushed onto the tool shank, the base-side annular area transitions into a cover-side trochoidal area which is adapted to the polygonal shape of the tool shank.

The cutting tool (1), especially drill or milling cutter, comprises a base (3) which extends in an axial direction (2) and has an outer shell (14) with at least one interior recess (18) that extends in the axial direction (2), a supporting structure (16) having at least one separating piece (26) which separates a plurality of recesses (18) from each other being formed in the supporting structure. The cutting tool (1) is particularly a solid hard-metal tool. The supporting structure (16) ensures an efficient use of material.
