• a toolholder element suitable for bearing said tool and movable along a registration direction in which said tool is moved towards and away from said object;
• an adjustable member movable in a sliding direction transversely of said registration direction so as to be operationally associatable with said toolholder element;
• and
• an abutting member suitable for tightening said toolholder element against said adjustable member, said toolholder element being interposed between said abutting member and said adjustable member along said registration direction;
• wherein said adjustable member comprises a block actuated to slide in said sliding direction by an adjusting arrangement and provided with a tilted face suitable for interacting with a correspondingly tilted active surface of said toolholder element, said face and active surface being tilted in relation to a vertical plane;
• and
• wherein said abutting member translates said toolholder element in said registration direction which is transverse in relation to said sliding direction.
