Abstract: A rotatable tool for chip removing machining, including a basic body having front and rear ends between which there extends a first geometrical center axis, and a loose top having front and rear ends between which a second geometrical center axis extends. The front end of the basic body includes a jaw, which is delimited by two drivers and an intermediate bottom and in which a part of the loose top is received. A centering pin protrudes axially rearward from the loose top and is inserted in an axial center hole, which mouths in the bottom of the jaw and in which a threaded hole mouths for a screw co-operating with the center pin. The center hole includes a cylindrical support surface, which is concentric with the center axis of the basic body and against which the centering pin of the loose top is pressed by the screw.

Abstract: A loose top for drilling tools, including front and rear ends, a pair of envelope part surfaces concentric with a center axis, and two chip flutes countersunk in relation to the pair of envelope part surfaces between which two bars project radially from a central core, the front end including a cutting edge and at least one clearance surface positioned rotationally behind the cutting edge, the rear end forming an axial contact surface.

Abstract: A rotatable tool for chip removing machining, including a basic body having front and rear ends between which there extends a first geometrical center axis (C1) around which the basic body is rotatable in a predetermined direction of rotation, and a loose top having front and rear ends between which a second geometrical center axis (C2) extends. The front end of the basic body includes a jaw, which is delimited by two drivers and an intermediate bottom and in which a part of the loose top is received. A centering pin protrudes axially rearward from the loose top and is inserted in an axial center hole, which mouths in the bottom of the jaw and in which a threaded hole mouths for a screw co-operating with the center pin. The center hole includes a cylindrical support surface, which is concentric with the center axis (C1) of the basic body and against which the centering pin of the loose top is pressed by the screw.

Abstract: A drilling tool of the loose top type includes a basic body having two bendable branches having inner support surfaces that are resiliently pressable against side contact surfaces of a replaceable loose top. The mounting of the loose top is affected by turning-in from an initial position to an operative end position. An abutting edge along each side contact surface then bends out the branches and subjects the branches to a spring force that reaches a maximum in a dead position so as to then decrease somewhat up to the operative end position. During the final phase of the rotary motion, the operator obtains, in a tactile and/or auditory way, confirmation of the loose top indeed reaching its operative end position.
