Abstract
A cutting tool includes a tool body having a plurality of pockets for receiving cutting inserts. Each pocket includes a bottom support surface, an axial support surface, a radial support surface and a corner relief between the bottom support surface and the axial support surface. A pocket feature is at least partially located proximate the pocket, and more specifically, at least partially located on a wall between the axial support surface and the radial support surface for reducing a tensile stress of the cutting tool during a machining operation.
