Abstract
The present invention relates to a tool holder, adapted to hold a tool for working at least a portion of a work piece, which portion extends substantially in a plane. The tool has a working tip which is located in an apex position of the tool holder when the tool holder holds the tool. The tool holder comprises an arm which is pivotable around a first axis of rotation and a fastening device adapted to carry the tool. The fastening device is connected to the arm and the tool is pivotable around a second axis of rotation when the fastening device carries the tool.

A tool holder, adapted to hold a tool for working at least a portion of a work piece, which portion extends substantially in a plane, wherein said too has a working tip which is located in an apex position of said tool holder when said tool holder holds said tool, wherein said tool holder comprises an arm which is pivotable around a first axis of rotation and a fastening device adapted to carry said tool, wherein said fastening device is connected to said arm and said tool is pivotable around a second axis of rotation when said fastening device carries said tool, characterized in that:
- each one of said first and second axes of rotation has a component which is parallel to said plane, and that
- each one of said first and second axes or rotation extends through said apex position.
A method of working at least a portion of a work piece with a converting assembly, which portion extends substantially in a plane and which converting assembly comprises a tool holder and a tool, wherein said tool has a working tip which is located in an apex position of said tool holder when said tool holder holds said tool, wherein said tool holder comprises an arm and a fastening device, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
- tilting the tool around a first axis of rotation, and/or
- tilting the tool around a second axis of rotation,
- wherein,
- each one of said first and second axes of rotation has a component which is parallel to said plane, and that
- each one of said first and second axes of rotation extends through said apex position.
