Claims8
A metal cutting tool, comprising
- a milling cutter, the milling cutter being rotatable around an axis of rotation, the axis of rotation defining an axially forward direction and an axially rearward direction, and
- a head comprising a sleeve with a front end guide,
- wherein the front end guide of the sleeve comprises
- a front face contact surface extending transversely to the axis of rotation, the front face contact surface being an axially forward-most surface of the head, and
- a front guide recess in an exterior periphery of the sleeve, the front guide recess comprising
- a shoulder comprising a first shoulder surface extending perpendicular to the axis of rotation and a second shoulder surface extending parallel to the axis of rotation and axially rearward from the first shoulder surface, the shoulder being axially rearward of the front face contact surface,
- a lateral guide surface extending parallel to the axis of rotation between the front face contact surface and the shoulder, and
- an axial abutment surface extending perpendicular to the axis of rotation, the axial abutment surface being axially rearward of the shoulder,
- wherein, the lateral guide surface directly connects to the first shoulder surface, the first shoulder surface directly connects to the second shoulder surface, and the second shoulder surface directly connects to the axial abutment surface,
- wherein the front face contact surface is connected to the lateral guide surface by an inclined surface,
- wherein the milling cutter has cutting edges on a lateral side and cutting edges on a front face,
- wherein a plane defined by the first shoulder surface intersects the cutting edges on the lateral side of the milling cutter, and
- wherein the sleeve is axially displaceable.
