Abstract

A machining tool (1) has a tool body (2) with tip seats (6, 7, 8, 9), to which cutting tips (11, 12, 13, 14) are assigned fixedly and individually. The cutting tips (11, 12, 13, 14) belong to a set of cutting tips. The machining tool (1) includes further sets of cutting tips, again with cutting tips (11, 12, 13, 14) individually assigned to the tip seats (6, 7, 8, 9). In order to assure that each cutting tip (11, 12, 13, 14) will be mounted on the tip seat (6, 6a, 7, 7a, 8, 8a, 9, 9a) on which it was ground, both the tip seats (6, 7, 8, 9, 6a, 7a, 8a, 9a) and cutting tips (11a through 14a) are provided with markings (34, 35), which allow an unequivocal, unmistakable association.
