Abstract

A rotary slotting tool that includes a circular tool body having a V-shaped groove in its peripheral edge to establish a centering plane for individual cutter element holders. A pocket is formed in the leading face of each holder for mounting an individual cutter element. The pocket structure configuration is varied between successive holders so that successive cutter elements overhang different side faces of the associated holders. A common cutter element configuration is used for all of the cutter elements.
