Abstract
The invention relates to a regulating element for a cutting member clamped in a tool seat of a cutting tool, comprising a cylindrical basic body, and an active surface impacting the cutting member at a face side when in a mounted state, having a contour deviating from the cylindrical shape at the cylinder sleeve of the basic body as anti-twist protection for the regulating element.
Claims20
A setting element for setting a cutting body clamped in a tool seat of a cutting tool, the setting element comprising:
- a basic body of generally cylindrical shape disposed about a longitudinal axis and structured to be disposed in a passage formed in the cutting tool, the basic body comprising:
- a first end structured to be engaged by a headless screw,
- an opposite second end having an active surface disposed obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the basic body, the active surface structured to engage the cutting body in a fitted state,
- a lateral surface extending between the first end and the opposite second end, and
- a contour portion, deviating from the generally cylindrical shape, on or in the lateral surface, the contour portion structured to limit rotation of the basic about the longitudinal axis within the passage formed in the cutting tool.
