A cartridge for positioning a cutting insert onto a machining tool has a central longitudinal axis, along which the cutting insert is configured to be positioned and an end wall for supporting the cartridge. The end wall defines a first surface extending beyond the end wall and transversally to the central longitudinal axis. The cartridge includes a rear wall for supporting the cartridge against the machining tool and defining a second surface extending beyond the rear wall and a front clamping wall having a clamping hole. The clamping hole extenda along a clamping direction and is configured to receive a clamping screw for clamping the cartridge onto the machining tool, wherein the clamping direction is arranged to intersect the first and second surfaces.

The present invention provides a rigid cartridge for multiple and universal application of all machining processes. The rigid cartridge includes a cylindrical body, a guiding and locating body connected to bottom side of cylindrical body, and a combination screw having a left hand [LH] thread and a right hand [RH] thread, wherein the cylindrical body includes a flat for locking the cartridge with the cutter body using locking screws, wherein the combination screw is connected to the bottom end of said guiding and locating body. The LH thread can be provided in cartridge side and RH thread can be provided in cutter body side or vice versa. In the cutter body or boring bar, a slot and/or approach hole can be provided in the cutter body for enabling to rotate the combination screw in clockwise or anti-clockwise direction to move the cartridge in forward and backward direction with respect to the cutter body.

A reamer or similar tool comprising a cutting device having a cutting edge, a clamping device, whereby the cutting device can be clamped to the main body of the tool, an adjusting device that interacts with the cutting device, for adjusting the machining diameter of the tool, and a guiding device comprising an elongated guiding element, which interacts with an elongated guiding receptacle such that the cutting device can be guided in a sliding manner perpendicularly to the center axis during a displacement when the adjusting device is activated. The guiding element and the guiding receptacle extend perpendicularly to the center axis of the main body of the tool. The guiding device of the tool has a single guiding element and/or a single guiding receptacle, and the guiding element has an elongated elevation and the guiding receptacle has an elongated recess.

The invention makes a tool available, which allows highly precise, simultaneous production of two back-tapers on the tooth flanks of the teeth of a workpiece in the form of a gearwheel, independent of their width. For this purpose, the invention provides that the tool includes a tool carrier configured in elongated manner, in the manner of a journal, and oriented coaxial to its central longitudinal axis of the tool, and includes at least two blades, which come into engagement with the tooth to be machined, in each instance, removing chips during use, wherein the blades are held on the tool carrier at a distance from one another in the longitudinal direction of the tool carrier and extend over a partial length of the tool carrier, in each instance, in terms of their width. According to the invention, in this regard the position of at least one of the blades is adjustable in relation to the other blade, so as to balance out deformations of the tool carrier that occur during use. The invention also states a method for simultaneous production of at least two back-tapers on the teeth of a workpiece in the form of a gearwheel, by means of a tool according to the invention.
