The assembly may also have a cutting tool, having an elongated tool body. At least a portion of the tool body may be disposed within the bore. The tool body may have an annular channel on the tool body adjacent the distal end of the bore. The assembly may have a spring clip, having a generally hollow cylindrical sleeve, circumscribing at least a portion of the tool body within the bore. The spring clip may also have a flange attached to and extending radially outward from the sleeve. The spring clip may also have a circumferential rib extending radially inward from the sleeve. The circumferential rib may be configured to engage with the annular channel within the bore.
