A tool holder (100) comprising:
- an insert pocket (102) comprising:
- an insert pocket front surface (108), an insert pocket rear portion (106), and an insert pocket support surface (110) extending therebetween;
- an insert pocket top surface (114), with at least one support wall (112) extending between the insert pocket support surface (110) and the insert pocket top surface (114);
- a pocket recess (116) opening out to, and extending downwards from the insert pocket support surface (110);
- and
- a threaded recess (118) opening out to the insert pocket front surface (108) and to the pocket recess (116), the threaded recess (118) having a threaded recess axis (T);
- a lever pin (120) having a top end (125a), a bottom end (125b) and a lever pin longitudinal axis (A), and located within the pocket recess (116), the lever pin (120) comprising:
- a head portion (122), having thereon a lever head rear contact surface (C), located above the insert pocket support surface (110);
- a lever front surface (124), extending downwards from the head portion (122), at least a portion of the lever front surface (124) sloping in a slope angle (δ) relative to the lever pin longitudinal axis (A), the lever front surface (124) having thereon a lever front contact surface (H), located downwards from the lever head rear contact surface (C) by a first longitudinal distance (h1);
- a blind hole (126) opening out to, and extending from, the lever front surface (124) towards the lever pin longitudinal axis (A), the blind hole (126) located along the threaded recess axis (T);
- a base portion (121) provided with a rocker pivot portion (128) to enable tilting of the lever pin (120) about the rocker pivot portion (128), in the forward-rearward directions (DF, DR);
- and
- a lever lower rear contact surface (G), located downwards from the lever front contact surface (H) by a second longitudinal distance (h2);
- and
- a fastening member (130) comprising a first end (131) having thereon a clamping contact surface (B), a second end (133), a threading surface (132) extending between the first and second ends (131, 133), and a guiding prong (134) extending from the first end (131), the threading surface (132) engages the threaded recess (118), the guiding prong (134) is located within the blind hole (126), and the clamping contact surface (B) is adjacent to the lever front contact surface (H);
- wherein in a side view of the lever pin (120), the first longitudinal distance (h1) is smaller than the second longitudinal distance (h2).
