Abstract

Quick change cutting tool block clamp wherein planar mounting faces of adapter base and tool holder faces are located and retained in compressive engagement through linear interengagement of transverse semi-dovetail key surfaces under pressure established by a spaced pivoted clamping dog mechanism spanning the engagement faces. Clamping retention is entirely accomplished by means immediately adjacent the interface of the planar surfaces leaving the outer surfaces of the tool holder open and free of clamp actuating projections.
