Abstract
A toolholder has a conventional square shank body with a pocket extending downwardly from the top surface of the body so that the cutting tip of an insert mounted within the pocket is positioned below the top surface of the square shank body. This permits the pocket to have a back wall through which coolant may be introduced and directed against the cutting insert. Typically, the cutting tip of a conventional square shank toolholder is aligned with the top surface of the toolholder. Additionally, a toolholder assembly is disclosed which includes a plurality of such toolholders.
