Abstract
A positional adjusting mechanism for a cutting insert in a tool for chip removing machining, preferably a milling cutter. The positional adjusting mechanism includes a hole formed in the tool body adjacent to the cutting seat which receives the cutting insert. A slotted bushing is mounted in that hole. An adjusting screw is received in the bushing to expand an upper end of the bushing. In the mounted state of the bushing in its hole, contact occurs between an upper part of the bushing and a support surface of the tool body which urges the bushing laterally in its hole to eliminate lateral play and thus stabilizes the bushing.
