Abstract:
A modular cutting tool includes a cutting head, a shank and a mechanism which assists in assembling and locks the cutting head to the shank. The cutting head includes a cutting portion rotatable about a central longitudinal axis and a cylindrical skirt extending axially from the cutting portion and terminating at a contact face disposed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The skirt has a number of curved inner surfaces which generally define a bore disposed about the longitudinal axis. The shank includes a cylindrical portion of a first diameter disposed about the central longitudinal axis and a central protrusion disposed in the bore of the cutting portion. The central protrusion has a second diameter less than the first diameter and extends longitudinally from a contact face disposed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis at a leading end of the cylindrical portion.

Claim (Index 10):
A cutting head for use in a modular cutting tool, the cutting head comprising:\n a cutting portion structured to perform cutting operations on a workpiece when rotated about a central longitudinal axis; and a cylindrical skirt extending axially from the cutting portion and terminating at a contact face disposed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the skirt having:\n a number of curved inner surfaces which generally define a bore disposed about the longitudinal axis which is positioned and sized to receive a portion of a shank therein, and \n a number of cut-out regions which extend from the contact face toward the cutting portion between the number of inner surfaces and an outer surface, each cut-out region being bound, in-part, by a leading face, a trailing face, and by a clamping face which is formed on a portion of the skirt which extends generally circumferentially into each cutout region from the trailing edge.
