Abstract
A tool tip and tool body assembly includes a tool tip having a first end for contacting a workpiece and a second end, the second end having a patterned surface of recesses and protrusions, and at least one through hole extending through the tool tip from the second end. A tool body has a first end having a patterned surface corresponding to the patterned surface of the tool tip for mating with the patterned surface of the tool tip, and at least one threaded hole adapted to align with the at least one through hole in the tool tip. At least one fastener having a threaded end and a securing end is provided, the fastener extending through the at least one through hole such that the securing end abuts against a surface in the at least one through hole, the threaded end mating with threads in the threaded hole. Torque is transmitted between the tool tip and the tool body solely by the at least one fastener and the patterned surface of the tool tip and the patterned surface of the tool body.
