Abstract
A cutting tool includes a tool body having a peripherally disposed outer insert receiving pocket and an interiorly disposed inner insert receiving pocket with a cutting insert resiliently clamped therein. The tool body includes a through recess at least partially circumferentially bounded by a recess circumferential surface. A resilient clamping member extends into the through recess. The inner insert receiving pocket is formed by the resilient clamping member and a recess pocket portion of the recess circumferential surface. A chamfering cutting insert may be retained by the resilient clamping member, without the use of an additional, separate clamping device.
Claims27
A tool body (24) comprising:
- two opposing body side surfaces (26) and a body peripheral surface (28) extending therebetween;
- a body central axis (B) intersecting the two body side surfaces (26);
- a peripherally disposed outer insert receiving pocket (58);
- and
- an interiorly disposed inner insert receiving pocket (46) comprising a resilient clamping member (36) configured to resiliently retain a chamfering cutting insert (22) therein without the use of an additional, separate clamping device;
- wherein:
- the peripherally disposed outer insert receiving pocket (58) and the interiorly disposed inner insert receiving pocket (46) are integrally formed together to have unitary, one-piece construction;
- and
- on both sides of the tool body (24), the inner insert receiving pocket is closer to the body central axis (B) than the peripherally disposed outer insert receiving pocket (58).
