Abstract

A cutting tool includes a cutting insert and a toolholder including at least one insert supporting surface. A first clamp is adapted to apply a clamping force in a first direction to clamp the insert to the insert supporting surface, and a second clamp is adapted to limit rotation of the insert about an axis extending substantially in the first direction. The toolholder includes a second insert supporting surface. The second clamp applies a clamping force to the insert in a second direction to clamp the insert to the second insert supporting surface, and the second insert supporting surface is disposed on an opposite side of the insert from the second clamp.

1. 1. A cutting tool, comprising: a cutting insert; a toolholder comprising at least one insert supporting surface; a first clamp adapted to apply a clamping force in a first direction to clamp the insert to the insert supporting surface; and a second clamp adapted to limit rotation of the insert about an axis extending substantially in the first direction, wherein the toolholder comprises a second insert supporting surface, the second clamp applying a clamping force to the insert in a second direction to clamp the insert to the second insert supporting surface, the second insert supporting surface being disposed on an opposite side of the insert from the second clamp.
2. 18. A cutting insert, comprising: an insert body comprising a bottom surface, a top surface, and a plurality of edge surfaces between the bottom surface and the top surface; a first clamping surface arranged to receive a clamping force in a direction from the top surface to the bottom surface; a second clamping surface on a first edge surface; and an abutment surface on a second edge surface on an opposite side of the insert from the second clamping surface arranged to receive an opposing force when a second clamping force is applied to the second clamping surface.
