<p>A tool holding system (200) has a tool holder (202) including a seat (208) and a clamping device (210) having a clamping end (212) aligned with a surface (214) of the seat (208), a shim (204) mounted in the seat (208) of the tool holder (202) and including a receiving surface (218) oriented to open toward the clamping end (212) of the clamping device (210), and a cutting insert (206) mounted in contact with the receiving surface (218). The cutting insert (206) has a plurality of cutting edges (220) arranged around a periphery of a first face (222) and a plurality of radially oriented features (224) on a mating face (226) in contact with the receiving surface (218). The receiving surface (218) has corresponding features to that of the mating face (226) of the cutting insert (206). A radius containing one of the plurality of radially oriented features (224) forms an acute angle, an obtuse angle or a right angle to a radius containing a second of the plurality of radially oriented features (224).</p> |
