Abstract

A tool fixing device for clamping a tool in a tool holder, wherein the tool holder has a receptacle configured to clamp a shaft of the tool, has at least one static flexible element inserted into a force flow between the tool and the tool holder. The static flexible element is designed to damp tilting and bending vibrations of the tool in cooperation with a damping element provided in the receptacle at the free end of the shaft of the tool. This prevents chattering of the tool.
