Abstract
A cutting tool setting system contains a tool head for the settable holding of a cutting tool, the head having an adjustment device for the cutting tool. The cutting tool setting system has a setting tool which can be mechanically removably engaged in the tool head at an interface for adjusting the adjustment device in the tool head. The setting tool contains a shaft body having a key part. A key engagement for actuating the adjustment device is designed on the tool head. The key part can be displaced relative to the shaft body in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the body in order to selectively couple and release the key part of the setting tool and the key part at the interface of the tool head.
