Abstract
A cutting assembly useful for the chipforming removal of material from a workpiece at the cutting insert-workpiece interface. The cutting assembly has a holder with a coolant passage and a seat. As one option, a stud extends away from the seat and facilitates coolant flow to an insert locking cap, which attaches to the stud. The insert locking cap directs coolant flow toward the cutting insert-workpiece interface. As another option, a diverter plate has a bottom surface with a bowl and an arcuate forward surface with one or more openings. Coolant flows from the coolant passage into the bowl then exits through at least one opening in the arcuate forward surface towards the cutting insert-workpiece interface.
