Disk-shaped or strip-shaped tool

A machine tool for cutting a profile in a rotating workpiece, the tool comprising:

• a body centered having an elongated edge formed with an angularly extending row of seats each having a radially directed seat face and an axially directed seat face;
• respective Z-shaped holders in the seats each having
• an outer part forming a holder face axially confronting the respective axially directed seat face,
• an inner part offset from and generally parallel to the respective outer part and formed with a holder face radially confronting the respective radially directed seat face, and
• a middle part that extends transversely between the respective inner and outer parts, that is more flexible than the respective inner and outer parts and that extends between, and that connects the respective inner and outer parts, whereby the holder can flex at the middle part;
• respective fasteners releasably fixing the inner parts to the body against relative movement;
• respective cutting inserts on the outer parts of the holders;
• means releasably fixing the inserts on the respective holders;
• an adjustment wedge between one of the seat faces and the respective holder face and displaceable in a respective wedge direction to shift the outer part of the respective holder relative to the body and transversely of the respective one seat face;
• and
• respective means braced between the wedge and the body for shifting the wedge in and against the direction and thereby changing the orientation of the respective holder and insert transverse to the respective one seat face.
