A cutting insert clamping mechanism for use in a cutting tool. The cutting tool has a body portion and a clamping portion. The clamping portion includes a base jaw and a clamping jaw. The clamping jaw has on its lower side a forward clamping surface separated by a recess from a rearward clamping surface. A first narrow bridge section connects the clamping jaw to the body portion of the cutting tool. A second narrow bridge section extends generally towards the rearward clamping surface. As a result of the two narrow bridge sections, the forward and rearward clamping surfaces can resiliently bend independently, and thereby are capable of applying independent clamping forces to the insert. |
