Abstract
The cutting insert carrier, in particular for a face milling cutter () comprises a tool basic body (), having a multiplicity of insert seats (), in which cutting inserts () are received. Rotatably fastened to the tool basic body () is a setting element, which is realized, in particular, as a curved ring () and which has circumferential cams (), by means of which the clamping levers () are actuated for the purpose of fastening the cutting inserts () in a locking manner. The setting element () enables all clamping levers () to be actuated jointly, at the same time, such that all cutting inserts () are simultaneously released or locked in their insert seats (). As a result, the assembly and setup time for insert changing is reduced significantly in comparison with conventional systems.
