Abstract
Small size insert and insert-blank apparatus for machine tools for grooving and turning have a body with generally parallel and opposing sides, and top and bottom surfaces which have at least a portion thereof inclined from adjacent a first end to the opposite end, and two heads extending from opposite ends of the body, each head having a rear end with which the body forms portions adapted to serve as stops to prevent rearward movement with respect to the machine tool when use. The body of the apparatus is adapted to be mounted in a toolholder having a nest or pocket having an inclined bottom wall which cooperates with the inclined portion of the bottom surface of the apparatus, and a clamp secured to the toolholder having a finger portion cooperative with the inclined portion of the top surface of the apparatus to resist forces on the apparatus during turning.
