Abstract
A cutting bit assembly for attachment to a tool holder of a milling-type machine includes a cutting tip, a cylindrical shank extending from the cutting tip and comprising a rotation-limiting surface, and a spring clip surrounding a body of the shank. The spring clip includes a protrusion configured to interact with the rotation-limiting surface of the shank to limit rotation of the shank relative to the spring clip. The spring clip includes a contracted configuration and an expanded configuration, and in both the contracted configuration and the expanded configuration the protrusion interacts with the rotation-limiting surface.
