A cutting tool assembly ( 14 ) including a tool holder ( 20 ) having a removeable clamp ( 20 a). A cutting insert support blade member ( 16 ) is removably held in the tool holder by the clamp ( 20 a). The cutting insert support blade ( 16 ) includes at least one, preferably two, insert receiving pockets ( 30 ). The pockets ( 30 ) are defined by a body portion ( 16 b) and a clamp portion ( 16 a) joined together by an integrally formed resilient or deformable portion ( 16 c) which permits slight resilient movement between the clamping and body portions to facilitate the installation of a cutting insert ( 18 ) in a pocket. When the insert support blade ( 16 ) is mounted in the tool holder ( 20 ), the clamp inserts clamping forces to the clamping portion ( 16 a) of the insert support blade which serves to secure the insert support blade to the tool holder and exert clamping forces on an insert ( 18 ) held in the pocket. The integrally formed resilient/deformable portion ( 16 c) includes a plurality of slots ( 50, 52, 50', 52' ), some of which open into an aperture ( 54 ) spaced from a pocket ( 30 ). The slots enable resilient movement between the clamping and body portions.
