Abstract

A machining tool comprises an annular structure having the same number of teeth as there are grooves to be machined, arranged radially in the structure, each tooth carrying a pin engaged in a curved slot. It also comprises a locking device constituted by a ring occupying a recess in the structure and a system of pawls carrying fingers which penetrate into the curved slots of the structure. It also incorporates a collar for controlling the locking device.
