ABSTRACT:
A unidirectional insert lock for securing an insert, with a central mounting hole, to a pocket in a cutting tool is provided. The insert lock includes a locking pin having an eccentric and a radially extending lobe, and a shim having an arcuate channel angularly bordered by a first and second stop, that is configured to receive the lobe. The locking pin is inserted through holes in both the insert and the shim so that when the lobe is rotated in one direction the eccentric urges the insert into a secured cutting position within the pocket. However, when the lobe is rotated in the opposite direction the second stop prevents the pin from sufficiently rotating so that the eccentric is not able to urge the insert against the sides of the pocket, and consequently, the insert sits loosely in the pocket so that it is clear to the operator that the insert is not secured in the cutting position.
