ADJUSTABLE CUTTING TOOL FOR A PEELING OPERATION

摘要

A bar peeling tool includes a rotatable cutter head with circumferentially spaced cassettes. Each cassette comprises a toolholder and an adjusting device. The adjustment device comprises a setting unit provided with a protrusion which fits into an end of the toolholder. The protrusion includes a recess in which a wedge element is slidable. By sliding the wedge element, the toolholder is adjusted along a longitudinal axis of the cassette. Sliding of the wedge element is performed by means of set screws mounted in the toolholder at opposite ends of the wedge element. A clamping screw extends between the setting unit and the toolholder for clamping the wedge in the radial direction.
