Patent ID: 8491231

Claim:
A tool for chip removing machining, comprising: a basic body having an insert seat; and an indexable cutting insert fixed in the seat; the insert including an upperside, an underside, a pair of side contact surfaces, two cutting edges that individually extend along a chip surface included in one of the upperside and underside, at least two heads that are spaced-apart via an intermediate part and individually include a front portion having at least one cutting edge and a rear portion along which the pair of side contact surfaces are formed and a plurality of abutment surfaces having supporting shoulders on the upperside and on the underside; the insert seat of the basic body including a central hollow space, and a front cavity and at least one rear cavity in which the heads of the cutting insert are housed, the front cavity including a pair of side support surfaces against which the pair of side contact surfaces of the cutting insert are pressed when a tightening element pulls the head rearward toward the side support surfaces, wherein the basic body is solid by being formed integrally of steel material, the seat is countersunk in the basic body such that the side support surfaces are integrated in the steel material, and the cutting insert is formed integrally from a second, hard-wearing material having at least the same hardness as cemented carbide, the pair of side contact surfaces of the insert being integrated in the second material, each head is spaced apart from a center axis along a bisector via an arm, in planar view, each arm has a minimum width that is less than a maximum width of the corresponding head, each minimum width and maximum width determined perpendicular to the corresponding bisector, and on each arm, the side contact surfaces are situated behind the cutting edges and behind the supporting shoulders of the abutment surfaces.
