<p>A thin cutting tool comprises a plate-shaped holder having an insert site and an insert secured in said insert site by means of a somewhat resilient clamping arm. One end of the clamping arm is fixed to the holder whilst with its free other end it clamps the insert in the insert site. The clamping force is supplied by bending the clamping arm. Preferably, the clamping arm is tapered from its fixed end to its opposite or free end, with a gradient selected to provide a substantially constant bending stress.</p> |
