A method for assembling or disassembling cutting inserts mounted in a rotary cutting tool assembly (20). The cutting tool assembly comprises a plurality of coaxially mounted cutters (22) on a common shaft (24) having an axis of rotation (A). The cutters have insert receiving pockets (30) having threaded bores (38) substantially parallel to the axis of rotation (A). Each of the insert receiving pockets has a cutting insert (28) having a through bore that is substantially parallel to the axis of rotation (A). Each of the cutting inserts is secured by means of a clamping screw (36). Each clamping screw is tightened with a key (42), the key having a head portion (44) engaging the clamping screw and a holding portion (46) transversely directed to the axis (B) of the head portion.
