A boring tool includes a tool body rotatable around a central rotation axis. A slider member is arranged movably inside the tool body along a path extending transversely to the rotation axis. An insert pocket is associated with the slider member to move therewith and configured to receive a cutting insert with a cutting edge and which projects from the tool body transversely to the rotation axis. A motor member is connected to the slider member and controllable to move the slider member transversely to the rotation axis for changing the distance of the cutting edge to the rotation axis. The motor member is arranged inside the tool body together with the slider member in a cutting part of the tool body at a front end thereof. The motor member is arranged in parallel with the transversal extension of the slider member along said path.
A boring tool comprising
The boring tool according to claim 11, wherein the motor member is arranged inside a hollow screw with an external thread in engagement with an inner thread of a member fixed to the slider member, and that the motor member is configured to rotate said screw so as to move this and by that the slider member along said path.
The boring tool according to claim 13, wherein the motor member is configured to drive a part thereof to rotate around a rotation axis extending in parallel with said path.
The boring tool according to claim 14, wherein the motor member is configured to rotate a gear in engagement with another gear so as to rotate a threaded member in engagement with another threaded member, in which one of these threaded members is connected to the slider member so as to cause movement of the slider member along said path by rotation of said gears.
