Abstract:
1. A tool head for use in machine tools, having a basic body ( 10 ) rotatable about a rotation axis ( 13 ), having a slide ( 14 ) carrying a cutting tool, the slide ( 14 ) and cutting tool being adjustable by means of a drive mechanism relative to the basic body ( 10 ) along a displacement axis ( 16 ) oriented radially with respect to the rotation axis, and having at least two balancing bodies ( 20 ) for damping unbalance caused by the radial adjustment of the slide ( 14 ) and the cutting tool, at least two of the balancing bodies ( 20 ) being provided which project laterally with their center of gravity ( 28 ′, 28 ″) beyond the displacement axis ( 16 ) and are pivotable relative to the slide ( 14 ) and relative to the basic body ( 10 ), characterized in that the balancing bodies ( 20 ) are mounted so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis fixed relative to the slide.
