Abstract: A tool for chip removing machining, including a basic body, in which at least one seating is included, which is delimited by a base surface and a rear support protruding in relation to the base surface, the base surface including a first coupling section in the form of one or more ridges and grooves, and a replaceable cutting insert having an upperside, an underside and a clearance surface extending between the upperside and the underside and transforming into the upperside via at least one cutting edge, the underside including a second coupling section having one or more grooves and ridges which engage the grooves of the first coupling section, and vice versa, at the same time as a part of the clearance surface is urged against the rear support. An imaginary extension of the ridges of the first coupling section extends by the side of the rear support.

Abstract: A rhombic shaped metal cutting insert is adapted for longitudinal turning and copy turning. Opposing nose corners of the insert form equal angles less than 60 degrees. A pair of side cutting edges converge toward each of the nose corners. The side cutting edges of each pair form obtuse angles with respective side cutting edges of the other pair. A longest diagonal extending through the insert intersects both of the nose corners and forms an acute angle relative to a diagonal which bisects both of the obtuse angles. Each nose corner has a corner cutting edge formed by a plurality of curved segments. First and second ones of those segments are disposed on opposite sides of the longest diagonal and together form an angle of about 90°. Situated between the first and second segments is a third segment which is intersected by the longest diagonal. Adjacently disposed ones of the curved segments at each corner have radii that are different from one another.
