Abstract: The present invention relates to a rod-shaped tool holder (1) having a length (I) for the attachment of at least one machining cutting bit (2). The tool holder (1) is configured for being clamped at a first end (4) and has a second free end (3) and optionally a secondary support between the clamping point (4) and the at least one cutting bit (2). In operation, the tool holder oscillates in higher order bending oscillations about at least one node (6) located on a curvilinear axis (x) extending from the first end. The at least one cutting bit (2) is positioned substantially at the node (6) in a distance from the free end (3), towards the first end (4).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for damping vibrations and/or controlling the flexion of an object in machining, said device comprising at least one force exchange device which could be a force applying device or a damping device. A such force applying device is for applying a force having a force component directed at right angles to the surface of the object and/or for applying a moment to the object. A damping device of this type is for absorbing vibrations from the object and is adapted to absorb a force component directed at right angles to the surface of the object or to absorb a moment from the object.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a system for fixing a cutting head (1) to an adapter (2) for a machine tool. The cutting head (1) includes a first linear flange (9), a second linear flange substantially parallel to the first linear flange (9) and means for holding a cutting bit. A holding jaw (4) is provided for being fixed to the adapter (2) and for engagement with at least one of the linear flanges (9) on the cutting head (1), and a clamping device (7) for clamping the at least one holding jaw (4) between the at least one flange (9) of the cutting head (1) and the adapter (2). At least one further clamping device is connected to the adapter (2) for engagement with the second or the linear flanges. Furthermore a cutting head and an adapter is defined.
