Toolholder and cutting tool

Abstract

A toolholder has a plurality of receptacles for at least one respective cutting insert. For each receptacle, the toolholder comprises a clamping element associated with the receptacle and a hydraulic channel associated with the corresponding clamping element. Each clamping element is hydraulically adjustable between a closed position and an opened position via the associated hydraulic channel. Furthermore, the toolholder is configured such that the clamping elements in the closed position clamp the associated cutting inserts into the corresponding receptacle for the cutting operation and thus fix them to the toolholder and release them in the opened position so that the cutting inserts can be detached from the toolholder, in particular in a tool-free manner. Furthermore, a cutting tool is provided having a toolholder according to any one of the preceding claims and at least one cutting insert.
