Abstract: A non-rotating boring tool for internal turning includes a boring bar having an elongated body, a cutting element with a rake side, a relief surface and a cutting edge, and an electrically controlled vibration actuator for active vibration damping of the boring bar. Moreover, when seen in a cross-sectional plane that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the elongated body and intersecting the cutting edge in a radially outermost point, straight and imaginary first and second reference lines intersect the cutting edge in the radially outermost point with the first reference line extending at an angle of 6° to the relief surface on the outside of the cutting element, and the second reference line extending between the rake side and the relief surface at an angle of 10-40° to the first reference line. The actuator is arranged with its working axis extending in parallel with the second reference line.

Abstract: An adjustable cartridge for a boring bar includes a support structure including a surface for abutment with a peripheral area of a boring bar. A load-bearing structure mounts a cutting insert assembled to be movable in a first direction on the support structure. An adjustment mechanism is arranged to adjust the position of the load-bearing structure in relation to the support structure. The adjustment mechanism includes at least a first elastic means arranged to exert force against a first surface of the load-bearing structure, and an adjustment part disposed between the support structure and a second surface of the load-bearing structure and arranged to contact and to be movable in a second direction relative to the support structure and the load-bearing structure. The adjustment part has a surface that forms an acute angle with the second direction and is disposed in contact with a second surface of the load-bearing structure.
