A cutting tool of the sort used for deep hole drilling has a cutting head mounted on a shank. The cutting head is formed asymmetrically with respect to a longitudinal axis and has at least one cutting edge. The cutting head has guiding segments that extend from a forward end to a rear end of the cutting head. Each of the guiding segments has a guiding pad in the periphery thereof. A forward end of the guiding pad lies on a cylindrical envelope defined by the cutting diameter of the cutting tool. A rear engagement portion of the cutting head is engaged with a forward engagement portion of the shank. The cutting head is made from sintered carbide powders and the guiding pads are integrally formed with the cutting head.

Cutting tool

A tool locking and releasing device having a rotatably driven spindle rotatably mounted on a support frame. A socket is formed in the spindle coaxial with an axis of rotation thereof and is adapted to receive a tool holder and to retain it against relative rotational movement. Wrench means is provided to grip a tool locking member so that upon the application of a rotary drive to the spindle in a first directional sense the tool holder is rotated and the tool locking member is tightened with a predetermined torque, and upon the rotation of the spindle in an opposite directional sense the tool locking member is loosened.
