Abstract
In the tool body (2), a tool support (4) for a cutting-plate holder (6) is mounted capable of fine radial movements. To compensate for imbalance, a balancing device (30) is provided which has at least two weight bodies (20, 21) movable in opposite circumferential directions within the tool body (2) in essentially the same plane. In certain embodiments, each of the two weight bodies (20, 21) forms approximately one-fourth of a circular ring.
