A tool head has a longitudinal axis, forward and rearward ends, and top, bottom and peripheral surfaces. The peripheral surface has first and second side walls provided with respective first and second serrated portions, each of the first and second side walls being divided into spaced apart top and bottom side wall portions. The peripheral surface also has a stopper wall which faces in the rearward direction, extends transversely to the second side wall and is provided with a stopper serrated portion. A rear wall formed at the rearward end and connects the first and second side walls. The tool head also includes an insert retaining portion proximate the forward end, and a coupling portion which extends in the direction of the rearward end and includes vertically spaced apart top and bottom coupling arms separated by a coupling recess opening out to the rear wall.

A selection system, comprising: a sheath defining an internal housing extending in a longitudinal direction; a link rod disposed in said internal housing, and extending in the longitudinal direction; and a selection slide mounted to slide in the internal housing, about the link rod; the link rod being held stationary relative to the sheath against movement in translation in the longitudinal direction by stop means; the system being characterized in that the stop means comprise: a base that is a body of revolution and includes a conical portion; and a shell comprising two shell portions each including a conical portion configured to come to bear in plane manner against the conical portion of the base.

A clamping member in a non-limiting aspect of the present disclosure may have a columnar shape extended from a first end to a second end. The clamping member may include an upper jaw, a lower jaw and a pocket. The upper jaw and the lower jaw may be located away from each other. The pocket may be located between the upper jaw and the lower jaw. The upper jaw may include a first member and a second member. The second member may be located closer to the first end than the first member. Hardness of the first member may be first hardness, and hardness of the second member may be second hardness. The first hardness may be different from the second hardness.

An adjustable angle toolholder comprising a shank and an adjustable head is provided. The shank has a first end and a second end. The first end is adapted to be held in a machine, such as a lathe. The second end includes a fixed plane oriented parallel to a lengthwise direction of the shank. The fixed plane includes an arcuate face at a distal end of the fixed plane. The head has a fixed plane that mates with the fixed plane of the shank. The fixed planes of the shank and head include a pivot hole through which a pivot bolt passes. The pivot bolt allows adjustment of the head through a wide range of angles relative to a lengthwise direction of the shank, while the fixed planes maintain a position of a centerline of a cutting tool constant with respect to a centerline of the shank. The fixed plane of the shank may be on a centerline of the shank.

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 tool head has a longitudinal axis, forward and rearward ends, and top, bottom and peripheral surfaces. The peripheral surface has first and second side walls provided with respective first and second serrated portions, each of the first and second side walls being divided into spaced apart top and bottom side wall portions. The peripheral surface also has a stopper wall which faces in the rearward direction, extends transversely to the second side wall and is provided with a stopper serrated portion. A rear wall formed at the rearward end and connects the first and second side walls. The tool head also includes an insert retaining portion proximate the forward end, and a coupling portion which extends in the direction of the rearward end and includes vertically spaced apart top and bottom coupling arms separated by a coupling recess opening out to the rear wall.

A curved face grooving blade having a curved grooving portion and a clamping portion connected thereto. The grooving portion having an insert seat defining upward and downward directions. The clamping portion has a bottom wedge surface located in an inward and downward direction relative to the remainder of the clamping portion.
