A cutter head for a woodworking machine, having a cylindrical, conical, or profiled base body which comprises at least two tool holders for holding a cutting insert. The tool holders each comprise a groove which is open in the radial direction, in which a cutting insert is clamped between a first groove wall of the groove and a one- or two-piece clamping element. The cutter head of can include a support plate arranged between the cutting insert and the first groove wall. The clamping screws are arranged at right angles to the axis and are thus accessible for a cutter change. The screw holder on the clamping element is a ball socket, and the front end of the screw is a round head. The cutter head of has a spring element, which positions the cutting insert during the clamping process, and presses the same via the functional surface radially outward against a stop.
