Clamping and adjustment apparatus for a cutting tool

A clamping and adjustment apparatus for a cutting tool, with a cutter support on which a plate-shaped cutter insert is prestressable and fastenable by means of a prestressing and fastening device with its bottom surface against a seat surface such that it is supported by lateral wall sections in a positionaly fixed manner on the cutter support, comprising:

• an adjustment wedge, to be accommodated in the cutter support in a form-fitted and displaceable manner, which can be actuated in a direction (V) that extends essentially parallel to the seat surface wherein the cutter insert is supported and adjusted;
• a pressure screw for actuating the adjustment wedge;
• and
• wherein the clamping and adjustment apparatus includes an actuation wedge wherein the adjustment wedge may be actuated, and the pressure screw acts on the actuation wedge at an angle to the adjustment wedge, and the adjustment wedge and the actuation wedge are formed as recesses on a double wedge pin.

A clamping and adjustment apparatus for a cutting tool, with a cutter support on which a plate-shaped cutter insert is prestressable and fastenable by a prestressing and fastening device such that a first surface of the insert is against a seat surface so the insert is supported by lateral wall sections in a positionaly fixed manner on the cutter support, the apparatus comprising:

• an adjustment wedge, to be accommodated in the cutter support in a form-fitted and displaceable manner, which can be actuated in a direction (V) that extends essentially parallel to the seat surface;
• a screw for actuating the adjustment wedge;
• and
• wherein the clamping and adjustment apparatus further includes an actuation wedge, wherein the adjustment wedge may be actuated, and the pressure screw acts on the actuation wedge at an angle to the adjustment wedge, and the adjustment wedge and the actuation wedge are formed as recesses on a double wedge pin.
