Turning tool

A turning tool for metal cutting comprising:

• a tool body having a tool body top surface, and arranged at a front end of the tool body top surface, an insert seat arranged for receiving a cutting insert, and a tool body bore that is spaced apart from the insert seat and extends downward from an opening in the tool body top surface;
• a clamping member arranged at the tool body top surface, the clamping member including a base body having a base body top surface, and a base body bottom surface facing the tool body top surface, a clamping member through hole extending from an opening in the base body top surface to an opening in the base body bottom surface, the clamping member through hole being aligned with the tool body bore, and a clamping arm protruding from the base body and at least a portion of the clamping arm extending over the insert seat;
• a clamping pin connecting the tool body and the clamping member, the clamping pin including a longitudinal shaft that has a longitudinal axis and that extends through the clamping member through hole and into the tool body bore, wherein the shaft is axially movably received in the tool body bore and operable to move to a first axial position, a head at an upper end of the shaft, and a coolant fluid channel having a first outlet opening in the head, wherein the clamping pin is configured to, in the first axial position, engage the base body and force the base body, together with the protruding clamping arm, toward the tool body top surface, whereby, when a cutting insert is received in the insert seat, the cutting insert is clamped in the insert seat, wherein in the first axial position, the first outlet opening in the head is located above the base body top surface, the shaft is axially movably received in the tool body bore by being axially slidable;
• and
• a locking mechanism configured to, in the first axial position, releasably lock the shaft in the tool body bore against at least axial sliding toward the tool body top surface.
