Abstract:
A rotatable tool comprising a rotatable tool body and a replaceable cutting tip for chip removing machining, the tool body defining a longitudinal axis of rotation and including a forward free end having a first dovetail coupling part formed therein, the cutting tip including a front cutting end and a rear mounting end, the mounting end including a second dovetail coupling part joined to the first dovetail coupling part in tightly clamped relationship, the cutting tip being removable from the tool body by sliding the second dovetail clamping part out of engagement with the first dovetail clamping part in a direction laterally of the axis of rotation, wherein one of the dovetail coupling parts includes a laterally facing stop surface against which the other dovetail coupling part abuts, to limit the extent of insertion of the cutting tip onto the tool body.
