Abstract
A drilling tool includes a shaft having a front end to which a cutting body provided with cutting edges is detachably connected. In the front end of the shaft, a seat is formed which is delimited by spaced-apart protrusions between which there is a bottom surface. In the protrusion, there is a threaded hole for a screw, which when tightened applies pre-stressing forces to the cutting body. On the inside of the opposite protrusion, there is a supporting shoulder against which the cutting body is pressed when the screw is tightened and applies a lateral pre-stressing force to the cutting body. The protrusions are laterally displaced in relation to each other in order to freely expose the screw beside one of the protrusions.
