Abstract

In a milling tool with a disc-shaped base member 1 having a central securement bore 2 and provided, in the region of its outer periphery, with equidistantly spaced retainer cutouts open towards the front face of the base member, for receiving and for retaining the respective cutting plate support 4, which is adapted and fixedly secured in the respective retainer cutout 3 for selective adjustment both in an axial as well as, independently therefrom, in a radial direction. Each support 4 carries a cutting plate 6 or 62 whose main plane is disposed generally radially. In order to enable the adjustability of each plate by pivoting same about an imaginary axis perpendicular to the central axis of the base member in addition to and independent of the adjustments in axial and radial directions, the cutter plate is arranged in a cutout 10 of a cutter plate spacer 11 which is complementary in shape with the shape of the plate, the spacer, in turn, being adapted for turning on the cutter plate support 4 about an imaginary axis generally perpendicular to a radial plane of coincidence of the central axis 5 of the base member, the spacer being adapted for becoming selectively secured relative t…
