Abstract: A cutting tool includes a tool holder, having a holder pocket with a pocket opening, and a cutting member releasably retained therein. The tool holder includes an adjustment cavity that includes circumferentially merging threaded and guiding bore portions. The tool holder further includes an adjustment arrangement that includes an adjustment member including a wedge adjustment portion and a guiding portion integrally formed therewith. The adjusting arrangement further includes an adjustment screw. The wedge adjustment portion is located in the pocket adjustment region and the guiding portion is located in the guiding bore portion and partially protrudes into the threaded bore portion. The adjustment screw is threadingly rotatable between a first rotated position and a second rotated position, and in the second rotated position the adjustment member, and thus the cutting member, is located closer to the pocket opening than in the first rotated position.

Abstract: An indexable cutting insert has first and second side surfaces and a peripheral surface extending therebetween. The peripheral surface has identical peripheral faces, each divided into two identical first and second cutting sections. Each cutting section has a first cutting edge, a second cutting edge, a corner cutting edge which extends between the first and second cutting edges and a rake surface having a planar rake surface flat forming an engagement surface. The rake surface meets the first side surface at the first cutting edge. The rake surface flat meets the second side surface at a rake surface open edge. On each peripheral face, the two cutting sections are non-coplanar. Each two rake surface flats associated with first cutting sections converge in a direction along an insert axis and the cutting edges are raised above the rake surface flat.
