Abstract
A turbomachine rotor including a disk with a rim and axial cavities machined into the rim to individually house blades; and an annulus attached to one side of the rim and pierced with stress-relief holes, in which part of the stress-relief holes are situated in the axial continuation of the cavities, is disclosed. An annular shim is attached and interposed between the disk and the annulus, the shim forming a removable device for closing off the holes and an axial bearing surface against which the blades housed in the cavities can bear.
