Abstract
A slotting cutter includes a disc-like cutter body rotatable in a predetermined direction on a central axis perpendicular to a plane of the cutter body. A plurality of cutting insert receiving pockets and a corresponding number of thread holes are formed about a perimeter of the body. A cutting insert is replaceably mounted in each insert receiving pocket of the cutter body, and a clamping screw is replaceably threaded in each thread hole of the cutter body. A cantilevered portion is disposed between each insert receiving pocket and a respective thread hole that exerts a downward force to securely hold the cutting insert in the cutter body when the clamping screw is threaded into the thread hole.
