Abstract: A milling cutter includes a disk like cutter body having radially directed slots and a central aperture. An exchangeable hub of the milling cutter has two adapter members located on either side of the cutter body and has an inner side wall. One of the adapter members has at least two protrusions formed on the adapter inner side wall and one of the two adapter members has a raised portion located on the adapter inner side wall. The adapter members are secured to the cutter body by the protrusions positioned in the slots and the raised portion positioned in the central aperture.

Abstract: The present invention provides a cartridge adjustment tool for adjusting the axial position of cartridges of a slotting cutter. The adjustment mechanism has a body axis of rotation and comprises a body peripheral surface that extends between a body front surface and a body rear surface. The body is provided with threaded through bores, each of which receives therein a threaded portion of a threaded bolt. When the adjustment mechanism is mounted on a mutual arbor with a slotting cutter having cartridges, each of the threaded bolts is opposite a force engagement area of the associated cartridge. By turning the head portion of the threaded bolts, each of the cartridges is axially displaced and the axial position of each of the cartridges may be individually set.
