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 tool or workpiece holder with a receiving body and a clamping device for clamping a tool or a workpiece in a receiving opening of the receiving body. The clamping device comprises a first clamping element, which can be moved in a receiving portion of the receiving body at right angles to a central axis of the receiving opening, and a second clamping element, which can be moved relative to the first clamping element at right angles to the central axis of the receiving opening by means of an actuating element. The second clamping element has conical bottom clamping surfaces on the two clamping elements for inserting the tool or workpiece into the receiving opening. An ejecting mechanism is disposed on the first clamping element for ejecting the tool or workpiece from the receiving opening when the clamping elements are moved into a disengaged position.
