Improved bit holder/bit holder block structure provides increased access to the rear of the assembly allowing bit holder blocks to be mounted closer to each other for micro-milling operations. Shortened bit holder shanks are reconfigured from prior art to provide increased holding power between the bit holder shank and bit holder block bore.

The invention relates to a pick, in particular a round-shank pick, comprising a pick head and a pick shank, wherein the pick head consists of at least a base part and a cutting element, which is connected to the base part and is composed of a hard material, in particular hard metal, wherein the base part has a wear-resistant layer on the outer surface thereof at the connection to the cutting element, which wear-resistant layer covers at least one segment of the outer surface of the base part facing the cutting element and wherein an end face of the wear-resistant layer facing the cutting element is covered by the cutting element. According to the invention, the base part has an axially oriented cut-out for receiving a fastening segment of the cutting element, the base part has a counter surface facing the cutting element and extending around the cut-out, and the counter surface and the end face of the wear-resistant layer form a continuous flat surface. The invention further relates to two methods for producing such a pick. The pick formed in such a way has low abrasive wear.

The invention relates to a quick-change holder for a quick-change chisel holder system for fastening a rotationally symmetrical milling chisel to a milling roller of a road milling machine, comprising a quick-change holder body, a chisel shank receptacle running along a longitudinal center axis in the quick-change holder body for receiving a chisel shank of the milling tool, a quick-change holder cone, which is formed by the quick-change holder body, lies in extension of the chisel shank receptacle, and for this purpose is designed to be clamped in an at least partially complementary holder receptacle of a basic holder of the quick-change chisel holder system, a tension means bearing arranged on the quick-change holder cone and designed to engage a tension means, with which the quick-change holder cone can be clamped on the basic holder in the direction of a cone axis of the quick-change holder cone, wherein the chisel shank receptacle and the tension means bearing are designed in such a way that the longitudinal center axis and the cone axis lie in a common plane and are angled relative to one another in this common plane. Furthermore, the invention relates to a quick-change chisel holder system and a milling roller.

A milling system for a milling machine includes at least one cutting assembly configured to be coupled to a drum. Each of the cutting assemblies includes a base portion and an impact portion. The base portion includes a standoff coupled to the drum, a first base block coupled to the standoff, and a second base block coupled to the standoff at a position upstream of the first base block in a direction of rotation of the drum and at angle from the first base block. The impact portion includes a cutting bit and a tool holder coupled to the first base block, and a protective element coupled to the second base block.

The present invention relates to a chisel holder system comprising a milling chisel, a chisel holder and a clamping device, in particular a clamping screw. The present invention further relates to a milling drum and a ground milling machine having a chisel holder system.

A cutting tool holding device for holding a cutting tool is provided. The cutting tool holding device includes a base, a holder, and a fastening member. The base includes an embedding portion, an arc receiving hole, and a positioning hole. The holder includes a main body, an arc receiving post, and a guiding block. The main body includes an embedding concave which is detachably embedded with the embedding portion. The arc receiving post is correspondingly set into the arc receiving hole for stably assembled, and the scrap will be guided and discharged through the guiding block.

A rotatable cutting tool (10) includes a cutting tool body (12) having an axial forward end (14) and an axial rearward end (16). A bolster (46) at least partially received in a head portion (22) and includes a convex-shaped head portion (56) with a socket (20), a collar portion (58) and a tapered shank portion (60). The socket (20) is formed with a substantially planar side wall (20a), a bottom wall (20b), and a radius blend (20c). A hard tip or cutting insert (18) is at least partially received in the socket (20) of the bolster (46) and includes a convex-shaped conical head portion (72), a collar portion (74) and an axially-rearward portion (76) that generally conforms to the geometry of the socket (20) of the bolster (46). Between about sixty percent (60%) and about ninety percent (90%) of the cutting insert (18) is received in the socket (20) of the bolster (46), thereby reducing forces and stresses transmitted to the cutting tool (10) during a machining operation.
