Abstract
A piezoelectric adjusting mechanism includes a piezoelectric displacing element that is placed in contact with a cutting element and that is provided for displacing the cutting element with regard to a tool shaft. The mechanism also includes a holding mechanism for holding the first displacing element in a determined deformation state. The piezoelectric adjusting mechanism can be used, in particular, for a fine boring tool in order to adjust cutting elements, the elements being arranged on the outer periphery of the fine boring tool, in a radial direction of the fine boring tool.
