Abstract
The device comprises a support member (8) linearly displaceable with respect to a fixed or movable rail (1). The support member (8) comprises a milling tool (5), cutting depth reference guides (6) for the tool bearing on the top face of the rolling surface (2) of the rail along a plane tangent to the rail and lateral cutting depth reference guides of the tool bearing on the lateral face (2). The top and lateral guides are mounted for rotation about a common shaft and are disposed in front of the milling tool in the direction of displacement. The invention is used to reprofile the rails of a railroad track.

Device for reprofiling rails by continuous milling, comprising a support member linearly displaceable with respect to a fixed or movable rail, a milling tool rotatably mounted on said support member, reference guiding means of the cutting depth of the tool located before said tool in the direction of displacement comprising a plate rotatably mounted on a shaft extending vertically or slightly inclined with respect to the vertical and fixed to the support member, said plate bearing on the upper face of the rolling path of the rail along a plane tangent to the rail head;
- and a conical roller for bearing on the lateral face of the rolling path of the rail opposite the face cut by the milling tool, along a plane tangent to the lateral face, said plate and said conical roller being rotatably mounted on the same said shaft.
