Reamer, cutter plates therefor and method for adjusting the machining diameter of a reamer of this type

Abstract

A reamer includes a base body having at least one insert seat countersunk therein and having at least first and second lateral surfaces. A cutting insert has at least one minor cutting edge inserted in this seat. In addition, a clamping device includes a clamping jaw and an adjustment device for the cutting insert. A first lateral surface is inclined relative to an imaginary vertical line such that the cutting insert is alignable by contacting the lateral surface such that the insert's minor cutting edge has a defined taper, that an opening is provided at the base of the insert seat, through which opening the adjustment part protrudes into the insert seat, and that the cutting insert on its side facing the adjustment part adjoins this part.
