Abstract

A metal cutting tool includes a tool body which carries a cutting insert and has nozzles for directing cooling fluid against the insert. The tool body defines a longitudinal axis and is insertable into a holder in an axial direction, whereby a surface of the tool body abuts a surface of the holder. Those surfaces include respective holes that are aligned with one another in a radial direction for transferring cooling fluid from a channel of the holder to a channel of the tool body. A seal surrounds one of the holes and is compressed when the tool body is inserted into the holder.
