摘要

A milling tool includes insert seats in which respective cutting inserts are disposed. Positioned in each seat is a wedge plate which is adjustable relative to the tool body in a direction of wedge adjustment. A cutting insert is supported on the wedge plate and secured directly to the tool body. The wedge plate is wedge shaped such that when the wedge plate is adjusted relative to both the tool body and the cutting insert, the cutting insert is displaced in a direction perpendicular to the direction of wedge adjustment.
