Abstract:
A cutting tool for high-speed machining, comprising at least one cutting insert and a main body, wherein:said cutting insert is adapted to be interchangeably mounted to said main body; said cutting insert having a supporting surface and said main body having a receiving surface; said cutting insert and said main body each having an at least partly V-shaped configuration when viewed in cross section perpendicular to an axis of rotation, for the engagement of said cutting insert with said main body; said cutting insert and said main body each having a crown region and at least one end region configured so that said crown region and said end region are mutually relieved; said main body further having a bearing surface to radially support said cutting insert in such a way that said cutting insert, when mounted, is tilted so that the receiving surface of said main body and the supporting surface of said cutting insert come into mutual contact at only two points; and said points of contact being disposed on each leg of said V-shaped configuration of said cutting insert and said main body, one point of contact being nearer said crown and is located on the legs of said V-shaped configuration nearer said axis of rotation and another point of contact being farther from said crown and is located on the legs of said V-shaped configuration farther from said axis of rotation.
