ABSTRACT

Clamp (1) for retaining a piece (100) to be worked, which comprises a support
body (2) and two jaws (3), at least one of which is movably connected to the
support body (2) and is actuatable to be moved close to or away from the other
jaw (3) along the movement direction (X). Moreover, the clamp (1) comprises at
least one insert (5) mounted on each jaw (3) and the above inserts (5) are
each provided with a retention portion (6) which is susceptible of being
inserted in a corresponding first milled groove (101) substantially
counter-shaped with respect to the same retention portion (6) and made on one
side (102) of a piece (100) to be blocked in position. The retention portion
(6) of each insert (7) has, on a first reference plane (P1), a section with a
first external profile (7) extended along an arc of circumference and has, on
a second reference plane (P2) transverse to the first reference plane (P1), a
section with a second external tapered profile (8) that is extended, narrowing
up to one end (36) thereof which has at least one point in common with the
first external profile (7).
