Abstract
A milling cutter for truing railroad wheels has a milling drive shaft (10) with at least two, preferably three, cutter sections (3, 4, 5). One fixed cutter section (4) is rigidly connected to the shaft (10). At least one, preferably two, cutter sections (3, 5) are axially shiftable along the shaft (10) and receive their torque drive through the fixed cutter section through a releasable coupling such as a claw clutch (9, 30). One axially shiftable section (3, 5) is positioned on each side of the fixed section (4), with a gap (22) therebetween. Preferably, the shiftable sections (3, 5) are interconnected (at 21) so that an axial adjustment of one section is synchronously transmitted to the other section and vice versa.
