Abstract
An orienting apparatus for arranging on a turning tool and for orienting a bore or depression to be introduced or for orienting a finishing step with respect to a normal to the surface of a workpiece, comprising a main body having a through-hole for receiving the tool shank or the tool tip in an orienting direction, and at least two probe elements for oriented support on the surface of the workpiece. As a result of an orienting movement of the orienting apparatus with respect to the normal to the surface of the workpiece, all of the probe elements form an electric circuit between an electrical current source contained in the main body and the signaling device, said electric circuit being closed by a series circuit activated by the probe elements. Furthermore, a method for orienting a bore or depression or for orienting a finishing step with an orienting apparatus.
