Abstract

A lamella groove milling tool has a drive shaft receiving the cutter. The drive shaft is arranged to be vertically displaceable with respect to the carriage of the milling tool. The displacement preferably takes place by means of a positioning body which is rotatably connected with the housing by way of a thread and which is connected with the drive shaft. The positioning body has resilient detent devices in order to be able to adjust the rotating position in lockable discrete steps. This achieves reproducible height adjustments of the milling plane of the milling tool.
