outer surface 492 having a profile that is generally continuous with the profile of the flange outer surface 502, and also corresponds to the profile of the flange outer surface 502. A portion of theouter surface 492 adjacent theforward surface 490 defines a profile that corresponds to the profile of the portion of the outer surface 502 of the flange 496 adjacent therear surface 500. The contour of theouter surface 492 of the block 482 is aligned with the contour of the outer surface 502 of the flange 496 at least in the area of the interface between the two components. Stated yet another way, the contour of theouter surface 492 of the block 482 generally follows the same path as the contour of the outer surface 502 of the flange 496 near the interface between the two components. Although a gap may exist at the mating interface between the block 482 and the sleeve 478 (i.e., between the blockforward surface 490 and therear surface 500 of the flange 476), the overall profile of the combination of the block 482 and the sleeve 478 is virtually continuous. The block 482 further includes a lateral opening 550 (FIG. 8 ) extending transversely through the block 482 to provide access to a rear end of thebit 474. - In addition, the contour of the
outer surface 492 of the block 482 also generally follows the same path as the contour of at least the second portion 520 b of theouter surface 520 of thebit 474. In the illustrated embodiment, the portion of theouter surface 492 adjacent theforward surface 490 of the block 482 has a frustoconical shape; in other embodiments, the portion of theouter surface 492 may have another shape. In the illustrated embodiment, the frustoconical shape of the portion of theouter surface 492 is the same shape as the frustoconical shape of the second portion 520 b of thebit 474. The block profile corresponds to and is aligned with the bit profile. - In some embodiments, the cutting bit assembly may be formed without a sleeve such that the bit is secured directly to the block. In such a configuration, a portion of the outer surface of the bit may define a bit profile and a portion of the outer surface of the block may define a block profile that corresponds to the bit profile.
