<p>A cutting tool (10, figure 1) having at least one cutting tool support pad (24). The cutting tool support pad (24) includes two opposing primary surfaces (42), each primary surface (42) includes an abutment surface (54) and at least one convex contact surface (50). For each primary surface (42), the at least one contact surface (50) extends outwardly further than the abutment surface (54). The abutment surface (54) may be formed by multiple abutment sub- surfaces (56). A pocket (22, figure 3) for the support pad (24) has a support surface (26) with recesses (38) to accommodate the contact surface (62) which are in non-operational positions.</p> |
