The male member includes a dove-tail shaped portion received in a dove-tail shaper portion of the groove. A centering button on the male member enters a depression in the holder part to axially center the cutting part.

Abstract: Rotatable tool for chip removing machining includes a rotatable holder part and a cutting part that is detachably connected to a front end of the holder part. In the front end of the holder part, a forwardly open slot is formed, which separates two elastically flexible branches of the holder part. For clamping of the cutting part on the holder part, a male/female coupling is provided, which comprises a pin on either the holder part or the cutting part and a corresponding pin-receiving seat in the other part. If the pin is on the holder part, then a manually induced elastic deformation of the branches towards one another reduces the diameter of the pin to enable the pin to enter the female part. Subsequent return of the branches toward a rest state thereof causes the diameter of the pin to expand and tightly hold the cutting part.

Abstract: The present invention is a drilling system for cutting flat bottomed holes in work pieces. The tool has two opposing angled cutting edges extending from a rotational axis, with the inner portions of these cutting edges extending upwardly to create an overlapping web at the center. The overlapping web strengthens the center portion of the cuttings edges of the tool.

The cutting edge has a rake surface with a positive rake angle that lessens the forces on the insert and also allows for better formation of chips of stock material being removed. Chip breakers can be cut into the cutting edges of the insert, further aiding in the removal of stock material.
