Abstract
A cutting tool having a cutting insert releasably retained in insert pocket by a fastening member. The insert pocket has first and second side surfaces. The insert pocket has a base surface which includes at least one male or female type pocket engagement member which includes at least one sloping pocket wedge abutment surface. The insert has first and second side abutment surfaces. The cutting insert has an insert lower surface which includes at least one male or female type insert engagement member which includes at least one sloping insert wedge abutment surface. By virtue of the sloping orientation of the at least one pocket wedge abutment surface and the at least one insert wedge abutment surface, a clamping force applied by the fastening member urges said surfaces to slide over each other so that the cutting insert sits firmly in the insert pocket.
