Abstract

A milling cutter tool includes a rotary body having recesses spaced along its outer body, each recess receiving an insert-carrying cartridge and a wedge for retaining the cartridge. Leading and trailing surfaces of each recess converge radially inwardly, whereas leading and trailing surfaces of each wedge converge radially outwardly. An actuator pushes each wedge radially outwardly into clamping relationship with the cartridge.
