Abstract
A tangential cutting insert has an insert body provided with a convex upper surface, a bottom surface provided with a cylindrical insert protrusion, and a peripheral side surface including a pair of opposing major side surfaces and a pair of opposing minor side surfaces. A sloped, major cutting edge in formed at the intersection of each major side surface with the top surface, the rake surface being formed in the major side surface. The bottom surface is provided with an insert protrusion abutment surface for seating the cutting insert. An insert recess is formed in the cylindrical insert protrusion, and this recess communicates with the insert's through bore. The cutting insert is seated in an insert pocket with the insert protrusion abutment surface in abutment with the pocket case. A cylindrical pocket protrusion rising from the pocket base and having a threaded bore formed therein enters the recess and is aligned with the insert's through bore. This allows the threads of a clamping screw to engage complementary threads formed in the threaded bore at a point that is close to the through bore.
