Abstract: A die stock comprising a substantially cylindrical holder, which is symmetrical to a centric holder longitudinal axis that runs in an axial direction, wherein the holder has a plurality of receiving grooves each of which is configured for receiving a cutting insert and a clamping wedge, wherein each of the receiving grooves extends from a first end face of the holder in the axial direction, said first end face running transversely to the axial direction, and wherein each of the receiving grooves extends from an inner side of the holder in a radial direction, said inner side facing toward the holder longitudinal axis. The die stock further comprises a plurality of cutting inserts arranged detachably in the receiving grooves, wherein each cutting insert has, on a front side that faces substantially toward the holder longitudinal axis, at least one cutting edge.

Abstract: A cutting tool comprising a holder (12) having a slot-shaped, arcuate receptacle (16), with respectively a lower and an upper bearing surface (36, 38) attached to rigid clamping jaws (18, 20) of the holder (12), for the reception (16) of a cutting insert, (14) and a cutting insert (14) having an arcuate shank (22) with lower and upper locating face (32, 34), which cutting insert is arranged exchangeably in the receptacle (16), and having a cutting head (24) with cutting edge (26), which cutting head is disposed on a workpiece-side end (44) of the shank (22), wherein the arcuate receptacle (16) and the arcuate shank (22), measured respectively on the lower bearing surface (36) of the receptacle (16) and the lower locating face (32) of the cutting insert (14), extend respectively over at least 90°, wherein the receptacle (16) extends over a larger angular range than the shank (22) of the cutting insert (14), and wherein the shank (22) is held in the receptacle (16) such that the holder-side end (28) of the shan
