Adjustment mechanism

摘要

An adjustment mechanism for adjusting an insert pocket wall's abutment surface in order to alter the location of an insert mounted in the pocket. The adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment screw and adjustment ball located in an adjustment bore. The adjustment ball is located in the vicinity of the pocket wall and on tightening the adjustment screw the adjustment ball is forced against the pocket wall. The force applied by the adjustment ball deforms the pocket wall in the region of contact between the adjustment ball and the pocket wall resulting in the required adjustment of the abutment surface.
