Abstract: A cutting tool is described which comprises at least one exchangeable cutting blade mounted on a parallellepiped cutting blade holder which in turn is adapted to be fixed by a setscrew at a tool body. The setscrew passes through the cutting blade holder such that the holder is pressed flat against a first recess surface and, at the same time, in the direction of a second recess surface extending at an angle with respect to the first one, the setscrew penetrating the cutting blade holder with clearance for freely adjustable fastening such that it includes an angle of substantially the same size with both recess surfaces and presses the cutting blade holder against the second recess surface by two adjustable support members of which at least one is designed as a rotatable eccentric pin the axis of which extends substantially parallel to the associated second recess surface and which is supported in a fitting recess of the cutting blade holder or of the tool body.

Abstract: A drill having two or more cutting edges is provided with interchangeable cutting members. The cutting members are fastened by screws in corresponding recesses formed in the drill bit. The cutting members are embodied by interchangeable plates and provided with fastening portions behind the main cutting edge, in the direction of cutting. The screws engage through these fastening portions in threaded bores formed in the front face of the drill bit.
