Abstract

The invention relates to a cutting tool for a machine tool, comprising a cutting head (1), a shaft (2), and a coupling which removably fixes the cutting head (1) to the shaft (2), said coupling comprising a coupling pin (6) on the back of the cutting head (7) and a receptacle (5) in the shaft (2), which receptacle is complementary to the coupling pin (6) and accommodates the coupling pin (6) when the coupling is closed, comprising a central coolant channel (20) in the shaft (2), which separates into two sub-channels (12) in the region of the receptacle (5), the two sub-channels (12) flanking the receptacle (5) in the wall thereof and opening into the flat contact surface (10) annularly surrounding the opening edge (8) of the receptacle (5), and comprising a flat collar (16) on the back of the cutting head (7) having an annular distribution groove (15).
