Abstract:
1. A removable cutting plate ( 10 ) comprising mounting means provided to cooperate with alignment means associated with a tool holder ( 30 ) so as to bring a contact face ( 2 ) of the plate into a functional position on the base ( 41 ) of a housing ( 40 ) of the tool holder, wherein the mounting means include a frontal thrust surface ( 14 ) provided in order to receive, once the plate ( 10 ) is placed in an initial, approximately functional position, a thrust force exerted by an alignment segment ( 52 ), in a predetermined direction of trajectory (F 0 , 36 ), belonging to a slide ( 50 ) mounted on the tool holder, so as to align, by sliding toward the rear on the base ( 41 ), a rear flank for alignment ( 5 ) of the plate ( 10 ) against a rear alignment side ( 45 ) delimiting the housing ( 40 ), wherein the plate is characterized in that the mounting means comprise a lateral slide ( 14 A) for alignment of the plate and for guiding the alignment segment ( 52 ) toward the frontal thrust surface ( 14 ), and the lateral slide ( 14 A) is arranged so as to form, with respect to the direction of trajectory (F 0 , 36 ), a wedge for offsetting the thrust force of the alignment segment ( 52 ) toward a longitudinal flank ( 4 ) for lateral alignment of the plate ( 10 ).
