Patent ID: 7510354

Claim:
A tool for chip removing machining, comprising: a basic body and a cutting insert detachably connected to the basic body via an interface, a first connecting surface included in the basic body in which one or more female- and/or male-like, primary engagement means are formed, and a second connecting surface included in the cutting insert in which one or more secondary, male- and/or female-like engagement means are formed for engagement with the primary engagement means in the first connecting surface, the connecting surfaces of the cutting insert and basic body having a common geometrical reference locus, the cutting insert including a corner having a cutting edge, wherein a pair of co-operating, primary and secondary engagement means spaced apart from the reference locus comprises flank surfaces which have a rotationally symmetrical basic shape, at least one of which has a tapering shape to jointly position the cutting insert in a point spaced apart from the reference locus and to prevent translation of the cutting insert in arbitrary force-action directions in the interface, and wherein the two connecting surfaces include engagement means which are separated from the pair of engagement means that prevent translation as well as separated from the reference locus, to counteract rotation of the cutting insert around the pair of engagement means that prevent translation.
