Abstract
A combination cutter body and a locking screw for mounting the cutter body to an adapter is disclosed. The cutter body includes a plurality of threaded bores that extend radially through a sidewall of the cutting body. The threaded bores are adapted to receive a corresponding threaded setscrew. The locking screw includes a head having a plurality of indentations around a circumference of the head. A central axis of each threaded bore is offset by a distance from a central axis of each indentation to cause an axial force to be exerted on the cutter body when an end of the setscrew engages a respective indentation to tightly seat the cutter body against the adapter.
