Abstract
The invention involves a tool head 10, which can be rotated around an axis of rotation 24, with a tool-holding fixture 14, 16 for a tool 20 having a cutting edge 18 and with equipment 38, 40, 44 for adjustment of the radial position of the tool cutting edge 18 with regard to the axis of rotation 24. The invention distinguishes itself by the fact that the tool-holding fixture is divided up into a base element 14, which is supported in a first bearing system 40 in a carrier sleeve 44 so as to be able to rotate around the axis of rotation 24, and a tool-holding element 16, which is supported in a second bearing system 38 in the carrier sleeve 44 so as to be able to rotate around an eccentric axis 42 that is positioned in an eccentric fashion, as well as in parallel to, the axis of rotation 24.
