Device for chip removing machining

A device for the chip removing machining of a work piece, the device comprising

• a body connectable to a holder or a rotatable spindle, the body defining a center axis and including at least one first seat that receives a cutting insert having at least one main cutting edge active during chip removing machining, the first seat having at least one first seat surface, the body receiving the cutting insert in the first seat against the at least one first seat surface, the first seat having at least one location surface, the at least one location surface forming an angle with the first seat surface and being arranged to position the cutting insert axially and radially in the first seat, wherein the body receives the cutting insert in the first seat such that said at least one first seat surface extends along the active main cutting edge or along a portion thereof, the body including a second seat arranged to receive a shim member, wherein the body receives the shim member in the second seat such that the cutting insert being received in the first seat abuts against the at least one first seat surface and the shim member, wherein said at least one first seat surface is delimited axially in at least one direction and radially inward, in relation to the center axis, by the at least one location surface, the body receiving the cutting insert in the first seat such that the cutting insert, as seen perpendicular to a plane of the at least one first seat surface, covers an area defined by the shim member and by the at least one first seat surface, and in that the second seat is arranged to receive a shim member that occupies less than 90% of said area, the body including first mounting members for the mounting of the cutting insert and second mounting members separated from said first mounting members and arranged for mounting of the shim member, wherein said first mounting members include a first recess arranged in the body and situated at the first seat to receive and hold a first fastening element, wherein said second mounting members include a second recess arranged in the body and situated at the second seat to receive and hold a second fastening element, the first recess defining a first center axis and the second recess defining a second center axis, the first and second recess being arranged in the body such that the second center axis is aligned with or parallel to an axis that forms a first angle with the first center axis.
