  • Milling cutting tool having cutter body mated to an adapter
    Patent number: 6942437
    Abstract: A rotary milling cutter has a cutter body mountable on an adapter. A first side of the adapter is provided with circumferentially arranged drive pins centered about a centrally positioned, conically tapered male locating member. A first side of the cutter body is provided with circumferentially arranged drive grooves centered about a centrally positioned, conically tapered female locating member. The drive pins have a base portion connected to a head portion while the drive grooves have an insertion portion connected to a retaining portion. During assembly, the first side of cutter body and the first side of the adapter are first moved into an initial mating position in which the drive pins enter the insertion portions of the drive grooves and the male locating member enters the female locating member. The cutter body is then rotated relative to the adapter such that the drive pins enter the retaining portions of the grooves.
