Abstract
There is provided a metal-cutting tool comprising a tool holder, a replaceable cutting plate, and an adjusting element which is attached by means of screw-fastening means elements and with which the position of the cutting plate on the tool holder can be adjusted. The screw-fastening means comprises a threaded element which interacts with the adjusting element and can be fixed in place in the tool holder.
Claims21
A metal-cutting tool comprising:
- a tool holder;
- an adjusting element;
- and
- an adjusting screw,
- the adjusting element having adjusting element threads,
- the adjusting screw having adjusting screw threads, an actuation region, and a projection that extends farther from a longitudinal axis of the adjusting screw than the adjusting screw threads extend from the longitudinal axis of the adjusting screw,
- the adjusting screw threads on an outer surface of the adjusting screw, helical relative to the longitudinal axis of the adjusting screw,
- the actuation region located at a first end of the adjusting screw,
- the projection located at a second end of the adjusting screw,
- the projection axially spaced from the actuation region relative to the longitudinal axis of the adjusting screw,
- the adjusting screw threads threaded with the adjusting element threads, whereby rotating the adjusting screw about the longitudinal axis causes the adjusting element to move due to the threading of the adjusting element threads with the adjusting screw threads, while the adjusting screw does not move axially along the longitudinal axis.

A metal-cutting tool comprising:
- a tool holder;
- an adjusting element;
- and
- an adjusting screw,
- the tool holder comprising a first surface and a recess in the first surface,
- the recess having a relief groove spaced from the first surface,
- the adjusting screw in the recess,
- the adjusting element having adjusting element threads,
- the adjusting screw having adjusting screw threads that are threaded with the adjusting element threads, whereby rotating the adjusting screw about a longitudinal axis causes movement of the adjusting element due to the threading of the adjusting element threads with the adjusting screw threads, while the adjusting screw does not move axially along the longitudinal axis,
- the adjusting screw having a projection that extends into the relief groove to a position that is farther from a longitudinal axis of the adjusting screw than the adjusting screw threads are from the longitudinal axis of the adjusting screw.
