Abstract
A cutter head of a milling tool is equipped with machining elements which can be fastened in respective recesses of a rotary body by one or more clamping wedges. On the rear side of the individual machining element there are serrations which co-operate with serrations formed in a rear wall of the recess. The serrations extend generally parallel to an axis of rotation of the cutter head. A bottom wall in the recess is divided into a plurality of wall parts which are separated by a first axially facing abutment surface against which an axially facing a second abutment surface on the machining element can be engaged, to define an exact initial mounting location for the machining element.
