摘要

A tool cartridge (100) for a material removal tool has a cartridge body (102) with, among other things, a recess (160) extending through at least a portion of the cartridge body (102) from a first side (112) toward a second side (114), a longitudinal axis of the recess (160) non-parallel to a longitudinal axis (116) of the cartridge body (102) and at least a portion of the recess (160) open to a bottom side (110) of the cartridge body (102), and a threaded opening (170) for a differential screw (172) proximate a second end of the tool body and positioned longitudinally between an opening (130) for a clamping screw (132) and at least a portion of a seat (140) for a cutting tool insert (200). A thread axis (174) of the threaded opening (130) for the differential screw (132) is at an angle G relative to a longitudinal axis (116) of the tool cartridge (100). A material removal tool incorporating the tool cartridge and a tool and a method of adjusting the position of the cutting tool insert (200) are also disclosed.
