Abstract

A milling tool (1) has at least one insert seat (14) which is adjustable in the axial direction. Provided for this purpose as an insert seat is a cartridge (47) which is received in a groove (41) but does not have a supporting face for the bottom face of the insert (25). The insert (25) consequently rests on a side wall (42) of the groove (41). As a result, the insert seat (14) is formed by a combination of the plane face of the tool body (2) and bearing faces (51, 52) of the cartridge (47). This achieves a particularly small installation space (close tooth spacing) and rigid mounting of the insert (25).
