A cutting insert includes a head portion having a number of cutting edges and a centering pin which is disposed about a central longitudinal axis and which is coupled to, and extends axially away from, the main head portion. The centering pin includes a recess structured to accommodate a portion of a setscrew. The recess includes: a first angled surface disposed generally facing away from a leading end of the centering pin at an acute first angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the centering pin; and a second angled surface which is positioned opposing the first angled surface at an acute second angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the centering pin.

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.

In an insert clamping mechanism of an indexable grooving tool of the present invention, a shaft portion of a clamping tool has a major axis and a minor axis orthogonal to each other on a center axis thereof in a cross-sectional view perpendicular to the center axis. At least one end portion of the both end portions positioned on the major axis in an outer circumference of the shaft portion is formed into a recessed shape or a linear shape and is disposed not to come into contact with an upper wall and a lower wall of an opening-closing operation slit. Support portions are respectively formed in parts adjacent to the end portions on both sides around the center axis along the shaft portion.

A parting lathe tool for machining metal is described. This has a clamping seat for receiving a cutting insert and an internal coolant supply system for supplying coolant to a cutting zone. In this case, the coolant supply system comprises at least three coolant outlets. The coolant outlets are fluidically connected to a coolant supply port via at least two separate coolant lines running within the parting lathe tool.

Provided is a clamping tool for attaching a cutting insert to a holder or detaching a cutting insert from a holder, the cutting insert including a head portion having a circular cutting edge and a shaft portion, the clamping tool including: a first jaw portion configured to be locked to the holder; and an operation lever configured to be connected to the first jaw portion, in which the first jaw portion has a locking portion configured to be locked to the holder, and a first pressing portion configured to push the head portion downward and fit the shaft portion into a shaft hole portion of the holder when the operation lever is rotationally moved in a first direction using the locking portion as a fulcrum.

Cutting tools and tool holders for pipe cutting frames are disclosed. Example cutting tools include a tool holder and a cutting insert removably securable in the tool holder. Example cutting inserts include: first and second side surfaces; first and second locating surfaces configured to locate the cutting insert in the tool holder between corresponding first and second clamping surfaces of the tool holder, wherein the first locating surface protrudes from the cutting insert with angled locating surfaces extending from the first locating surface to the first and second side surfaces, and the second locating surface comprising an indentation; front end and rear end surfaces; a rake surface, the rake surface and the front end surface forming a cutting edge; and an insert stop surface at a rear of the rake surface, extending from the rake surface to the first locating surface and the angled locating surfaces.

The invention relates to a modular tool comprising a body and an insert for machining a workpiece, wherein the insert comprises a tenon for insertion into a receptacle of the body, wherein the body comprises an access hole, through which the tenon is accessible for an assembly tool, wherein the tenon comprises a profile portion, which, upon insertion of the assembly tool into the access hole, engages with a lateral surface of the assembly tool so that, by a rotation of the assembly tool, the insert can be ejected from the receptacle. Furthermore, a method for ejecting an insert of such a modular tool is specified.

In an insert clamping mechanism of an indexable grooving tool of the present invention, a shaft portion of a clamping tool has a major axis and a minor axis orthogonal to each other on a center axis thereof in a cross-sectional view perpendicular to the center axis. At least one end portion of the both end portions positioned on the major axis in an outer circumference of the shaft portion is formed into a recessed shape or a linear shape and is disposed not to come into contact with an upper wall and a lower wall of an opening-closing operation slit. Support portions are respectively formed in parts adjacent to the end portions on both sides around the center axis along the shaft portion.
