ABSTRACT

Clamp ( 1 ) for retaining piece ( 100 ) to be worked, comprising a support
body ( 2 ) and two jaws ( 3 ), at least one of which is movably connected to
the support body ( 2 ) along a movement direction (X). Each jaw ( 3 ) carries
at least one insert ( 5 ), provided with a retention portion ( 6 ) configured
to be inserted into a corresponding counter-shaped first milled groove ( 101 )
made on a side ( 102 ) of the workpiece ( 100 ). The retention portion ( 6 )
of each insert ( 5 ) has, on a first reference plane (P 1 ), a section with a
first external profile ( 7 ) extending along a circular arc. The retention
portion ( 6 ) of each insert ( 5 ) has, on a second reference plane (P 2 )
transverse to the first one, a section with a tapered second external profile
( 8 ), narrowing towards an end ( 36 ) sharing at least one point with the
first external profile ( 7 ).
