Abstract A toolholder for holding cutting tools is provided with a standard cone at its rear end for insertion into a machine tool. The front end consists of an axially projecting stud. Disc-shaped tool carriers are provided with a central bore and further with means for receiving and holding at least one cutting tool. By means of their bore, the tool carriers are arranged on the stud to which they are positively secured by clamping means, for example, by a bayonet coupling. The distance between the nose of the cutting tools and the rear surface of the tool carriers is at all carriers set to a uniform predetermined range, thereby avoiding any shifting of the zero-point when one tool carrier is exchanged for another one.
A quickset toolholder for interchangeably mounting cutting tools on a machine took, said toolholder comprising in combination: a holder having a coupling member at its rear end; a plane front surface and a stud which projects from said surface; at least one disc-shaped toolcarrier having a concentric bore and adapted to be arranged on said stud by means of said bore; means on said toolcarrier for receiving and holding said cutting tools in a position wherein the distance between the nose of said cutting tools and the rear face of said carrier is set to a predetermined range; screws projecting from said plane front surface and oblong holes which extend along a circular axis provided in said carrier, said screws and holes constituting a bayonet coupling, and an eccentric shaft journaled in said holder in a direction perpendicular to the holder axis, said shaft being adapted to secure said screw heads in said oblong holes.
