Abstract: Mounting assemblies for cutting tools are disclosed that include a base and an adapter block. Mounting assemblies are provided with self-fixturing features to provide a desired mounting position and to restrict movement of the adapter block with respect to the base prior to bonding. The self-fixturing features provide the ability to perform repeatable and consistent bonding of the adapter block to the base.

Abstract: A cutting assembly that includes a block that has a body that contains a block bore. A sleeve has a body that contains a bore that has an axial forward end and a forward surface surrounding the bore at the axial forward end thereof. The sleeve further contains at least one scallop beginning at extending in an axial rearward direction from the forward surface. There is a cutting tool rotatably contained within the bore of the sleeve. There is a non-rotatable washer that has a washer body that has a peripheral edge wherein the washer body contains at least one indention adjacent to peripheral edge. The indention of the non-rotatable washer is received within the scallop.
