Abstract
Abstract A blade for a cutting tool is provided having plane parallel faces with V-shaped upper and lower jaws, the jaws being separated at one plane parallel face by a web, the upper and lower jaws being shaped to receive and prevent lateral movement of an insert when retained by the jaws. The insert is shaped to cooperate with the blade. The insert has a cutting edge mounted on a cutting portion separated from the seat portion by a rebate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
A cutting tool having a blade and a cutting insert, the blade having plane parallel faces with at least one pocket having tapered or V-shaped upper and lower jaws for the retention of the insert, the jaws being separated at one plane parallel face by a web, the thickness of the blade being about 4 to about 8 times as thick as the web, the upper and lower jaws of the blade being shaped to receive and prevent lateral movement of the insert itself when retained by the jaws, the insert having at least one cuting edge, the length of which is greater than the width of the blade.
