Abstract
A tool for a nc machine is provided with a radially displaceable surface slide serving as a tool holder. The tool head is interchangeable by a tool head changing device mounted on the nc machine. The tool head is automatically releasably mounted on the work spindle by means of a clamping cone and a tie rod concentrically disposed within the work spindle and engaging the conical surface of the clamping cone. There is provided a pair of control rods for radially displacing the surface slide and for limiting the radial movement of the surface slide, which control rods are adapted to be automatically separated by releasable clutches for interchanging the tool head (FIG. 1).
