A boring tool has a receiving part implemented as a borer body and a front part implemented as a borer head, which extend along a central axis and can be removably fastened to one another via driver connection. The driver connection has at least two coupling pairs which are separate from one another and are disposed eccentrically relative to the central axis. Each coupling pair is formed by interlocking coupling elements, namely a receiving pocket and a driver pin. The coupling elements have an asymmetrical cross-sectional area and widen with increasing distance to the central axis. Through this design, a reliable transmission of high torques is achieved with lower strains of the borer body in the area of the driver connection. Simultaneously, an automatic centering of the two tool parts to one another is performed.
A rotating boring tool for machining comprising a receiving part and a front part which extend along a center axis and can be detachably fastened to one another via a driver connection, wherein the driver connection comprises at least two coupling pairs separate from one another about the center axis and arranged eccentrically with respect to the center axis, wherein each coupling pair is formed by interlocking coupling elements, namely a receiving pocket and a driver pin, wherein the driver pin has wall regions therearound,
A multi-piece boring tool composed from at least one borer body and a borer head which can be coupled thereto, wherein the borer body and the borer head extend along a center axis and can be detachably fastened to one another via a driver connection, wherein the driver connection comprises at least two coupling pairs separate from one another and arranged eccentrically with respect to the center axis, wherein each coupling pair is formed by interlocking coupling elements, namely a receiving pocket and a driver pin, wherein the coupling elements are designed in such a way that the borer body and the borer head are oriented in alignment with one another via the coupling elements when the borer body and the borer head are fitted together, wherein the pin and the pocket of each coupling element have an asymmetrical cross-sectional area and widen with increasing distance from the center axis, wherein a supporting element is arranged between the borer body and the borer head, and wherein for forming a sliding section, the supporting element has an annular region projecting beyond the lateral surface of the borer body and of the borer head.
