Abstract
A toolholder for releasably holding an indexable cutting insert is described. The insert is locked onto an insert receiving pocket on the toolholder by a locking pin whose head clamps against an upwardly facing wall in a tapered central aperture through the insert. The pin is threadedly engaged to the toolholder and is configured so as to allow itself to tilt outwardly, after the insert is unclamped, allowing the insert to be removed from the pin and the insert pocket.
