<p>A tool holder (22) has a main body (26) with a holder head (28) extending away from a holder shank (30), the holder head (28) having an insert receiving pocket (32) at a forward end (34) thereof, with a pocket support surface (36). A clamping member (44) is retained in the holder head (28), the clamping member (44) comprising a clamping shaft (46) longitudinally extending along a shaft axis (Al). A locking member (52) operatively engages an abutment surface (54) of the clamping shaft (46). The shaft axis (Al) does not intersect the pocket support surface (36), and the clamping shaft (46) has a non- circular shape in a cross-section taken perpendicular to the shaft axis (Al). The tool holder (22) is configured to direct a clamping force (f) towards, and clamp a cutting insert (24) against, the pocket support surface (36).</p> |
