Abstract: A rotatable tool for chip removing machining includes a shaft and a cutting body connected detachably to the shaft by a drawbar. At its front end the drawbar has a locking device for effecting mechanical engagement with the cutting body. The drawbar is axially movable by an actuating element located at a distance from the locking device. Inside the cutting body there is a cavity, which communicates with an opening in a rear part of the cutting body. The opening has a smaller width than the cavity, and the locking device has a larger width than the opening in order to be able to be pressed against an interior rear surface of the cavity of the cutting body after the locking device is inserted into in the cavity.

Abstract: A cutting insert is produced by form-pressing and sintering of powder. The insert comprises a top chip surface, a bottom surface, and at least one edge surface extending between the top and bottom surfaces. The edge surface includes at least one relief surface portion which intersects the top surface at an acute angle to form therewith a cutting edge. A grinding operation is performed on the edge surface, but only along a lower portion thereof disposed below the relief surface portion, i.e., only along an area which is to be placed against a locating surface of a machine tool during a cutting operation.
