A cutting tool includes a cutting member having a shank portion located in a clamping recess of a clamping sleeve adaptor of a holding device. The shank portion has a peripheral shank surface including a switching arrangement including two circumferentially spaced apart circumferential outer portions and a circumferential inner portion extending therebetween. The circumferential inner portion has opposite electrical conductivity to the two circumferential outer portions. The holding device has an alignment indicating unit including an electric switch including two spaced apart conductive switch members configured to be in electrically conductive communication or non-communication with each other thereby closing or opening the electric switch, so that an electric circuit established or broken, forming first and second states of the cutting tool, respectively. Switching between the first and second states is realized by rotation of the cutting member with respect to the clamping sleeve adaptor.

A cutting tool with a coolant system having a cutting blade, a cutting insert and a blade holder. The cutting blade has a first blade bore having a first bore peripheral surface and an entry gap recessed therein. On assembling the cutting tool, a fastening element clamps the first bore peripheral surface and seals the first blade bore, releasably securing the cutting blade to the blade holder and allowing a fluid connection between the blade holder and the cutting blade.

A cutting tool used for turning operations is releasably secured to a tool holder. The cutting insert includes top and bottom insert surfaces, each surface including two pairs of insert wedge surfaces. The tool holder includes an insert pocket having a pocket top surface and a pocket bottom surface. When the cutting tool is assembled, only one of the two pairs of insert wedge surfaces of the insert top surface engages the pocket top surface, and only one of the two pairs of insert wedge surfaces of the insert bottom surface engage the pocket bottom surface.

A tool holder includes a tool shank and a tool head connected to the tool shank. The tool head has a rear surface. An insert seat or a blade pocket is partially formed on both the tool head and the tool shank, and extends rearwardly of the tool head's rear surface. Adjacent to at least a portion of a shank side surface there is a reinforcement portion connecting the shank side surface and the tool head.

A cutting tool having a cutting blade, a cutting insert and a tool holder. The cutting blade has converging peripheral blade abutment sub-surfaces exhibiting mirror symmetry about a second symmetry plane. The tool holder has a blade pocket with converging pocket abutment walls exhibiting mirror symmetry about a holder symmetry plane. The cutting tool can be assembled and utilized in four different configurations in a turret.

A two-directional high-feed turning tool assembly includes a tool holder, a cutting insert and a clamping element securing the cutting insert to the tool holder. The cutting insert includes an active cutting edge having a centrally located forwardmost edge portion and first and second main edge portions extending rearwardly from the forwardmost edge portion, as well as sideways to an extent further than flank tool sides of the tool holder. The first and second main edge portions also can each have a relatively small immersion angle facilitating high-feed turning in two sideways directions.

A tool holder having a holder body, an opening of the holder body having opposing upper and lower jaws respectively defining upper and lower pocket surfaces of an insert receiving pocket, and a resilience slot extending away from the insert receiving pocket. A first plane intersects the upper and lower pocket surfaces, and an actuating member extends from the upper jaw along a first axis in a downward direction and traverses the resilience slot. The lower jaw includes an access bore, and a locking member occupies the access bore and engages a locking portion of the actuating member. The upper jaw has a top jaw surface facing in an upward direction, and the first axis intersects the top jaw surface. A cutting tool is configured with the tool holder and a cutting insert removably secured in the insert receiving pocket.

A tool coupling extends along a longitudinal axis and has a first component, a second component, and a clamp for fastening the first component to the second component. The first component has a male clamping portion, the second component has a female clamping portion, and the clamp is located in an inner cavity of the second component. The male clamping portion has a first abutment region located axially rearward of a first plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the inner cavity has a second abutment region located axially forward of the first plane, and the first and second abutment regions face towards the first plane. In a fastened state, a clamp first engagement region of the clamp makes clamping contact with the male clamping portion's first abutment region, and a clamp second engagement region of the clamp makes clamping contact with the inner cavity's second abutment region.

An insert holder has a holder longitudinal axis defining opposite forward to rearward directions, a holder end surface located at a forward end thereof, and a holder peripheral surface extending circumferentially about the holder longitudinal axis. The insert holder has upper and lower jaws which are spaced apart by a clamping recess recessed in the holder end surface. The upper jaw is resiliently movable with respect to the lower jaw upon rotation around an angled pivot axis. The insert holder includes a forwardly located insert mounting portion which includes a forwardly protruding clamping finger and a forwardly protruding support rib. The clamping recess is defined partially by an elongated recess hinge surface formed on an angled hinge portion. The recess hinge surface includes a first hinge end and a second hinge end, longitudinally spaced apart from one another. The second hinge end is located forward of the first hinge end.

A method of clamping a first cutting insert or an adaptor to a holder. Either the holder includes two insert pockets configured for machining in two different orthogonal directions or the holder includes a single adaptor pocket configured for holding the adaptor in two different orthogonal directions. The method includes the steps of choosing one of two orthogonal directions for machining and securing either the first cutting insert to an appropriate one of the two pockets or securing the adaptor to the adaptor pocket for machining in the chosen orthogonal direction.
