MACHINING TOOL AND METHOD FOR INDEXING A CUTTING INSERT

A machining tool includes a tool carrier with at least one seat receiving an exchangeable, indexable cutting insert. A fastening screw fastening cutting insert to seat has a head section for support on the cutting insert and a shaft section at least regionally having an external screw thread. The seat has a contact face supporting an underside of the cutting insert and at least one lateral bearing face supporting a side surface of the cutting insert. A through-hole is formed in the contact face, through which the shaft portion of the fastening screw extends. A clamping element is disposed on the tool carrier on the rear side of the contact face of the seat, in which an internal screw thread is formed, cooperating with the external screw thread of the fastening screw. The fastening screw and the clamping element can be jointly displaced in a displacement direction.
