Abstract
A cutting tool includes at least one cutting portion, having an insert pocket, releasably retaining a single-sided cutting insert therein. The cutting portion has a tangential screwing element to clamp the cutting insert in the insert pocket. The screwing element, which comprises a screw, allows releasing and clamping of the cutting insert without having to completely remove the screwing element from the insert pocket. The cutting insert has a top surface, a bottom surface and a peripheral side surface; a recess is formed in the bottom surface. The screwing element is inserted into the recess via the bottom surface. Upon fastening of the screw, a protruding portion of the screwing element clamps the cutting insert in its insert pocket. The cutting insert and protruding portion may have respective geometries allowing them to abut one another at at least two distinct abutment sub-regions.
