Abstract

A method for supplying the working parts of a cutting tool with a lubricant which both cools and lubricates the cutting tool. A dispenser is connected directly or indirectly to the cutting tool to enable lubricant to be fed to the working parts of the cutting tool through at least one channel in the cutting tool. A cutting tool is also disclosed with a shaft, a cutter, at least one internal lubricant channel and at least one reservoir being fitted as a dispenser for the lubricant. The reservoir is directly or indirectly connected to the cutting tool by mechanical connections and to the at least one lubricant channel to permit the passage of lubricant. In addition, a tool holder designed to hold the cutting tool is disclosed. The tool holder has an internal dispenser for the lubricant. The dispenser is connected, when the cutting tool is fixed in place, to the at least one lubricant channel in the cutting tool to permit the passage of lubricant.
