A holder for a cutting tool, comprising a body having a first channel for receiving a stein portion of the cutting tool. The body has a second channel intersecting with said first channel. The holder further comprises a plunger ( 13 ) to be inserted in the second channel, said plunger ( 13 ) having a third channel ( 14 ) the cross section of which at least partly overlaps with the cross section of the first channel when the plunger ( 13 ) is inserted into the body so as to enable the stem of the cutting tool to extend into the third channel ( 14 ) when the stem is inserted in the first channel. The holder ( 1 ) further comprises a mechanism ( 26 ) for locking the stem against movement relative to the body by means of the plunger. The invention furthermore relates to a cutting tool for use in such a holder and a cutting insert.
