Abstract

The invention relates to a machining tool, especially a milling-cutter, in which each insert-holding cartridge (1) is fixed in a removable manner in a housing made in the body (2) of the tool. A blocking element accessible from the outside cooperates with the body of the tool and bears in service position against an inclined plane (6) of the back side of the cartridge, so as the pressure toward the bottom and forward according to the arrow F blocks the cartridge in its housing on three bearings respectively situated on the bottom (3), the back side (4) and the front side (5) of this housing. The cartridge further laterally bears against a fixed or adjustable stop.
