Abstract
Abstract A blade-type boring tool having a body on an end of which is mounted a pair of separate and individually adjustable cutters. The cutters are preferably cutting inserts fastened on the side of holders having a mounting surface provided with V-shaped grooves mating a mounting surface on the end of the body provided with corresponding V-shaped grooves. Each holder is held in position on the end of the body by means of a mounting bolt or screw threading in an orientable retainer disposed in a transverse bore in the boring tool body.
