Patent ID: 8684638

Claim:
Precision turning tool, comprising: a tool body rotatingly drivable about an axis of rotation, a tool slide, and a compensating slide coupled to the tool slide via a transmission mechanism being displaceably mounted in said tool body, the tool slide being displaceable by means of a precision adjustment mechanism along an axis of adjustment aligned at right angles to the axis of rotation, the compensating slide being automatically displaceable by means of the transmission mechanism along an axis of compensation aligned parallel to the axis of adjustment contrary to a movement of the tool slide for the purpose of compensating for any imbalance, the tool slide having a mounting surface at an end protruding out of the tool body in a direction of adjustment, a cutting plate carrier being adapted to be mounted on said mounting surface, and an electronic distance measuring system with a display unit and an energy supply device for supplying energy to the distance measuring system, wherein: a distance of adjustment of the tool slide is adapted to be detected by means of the distance measuring system and displayed on the display unit, a clamping device is arranged in the tool body for clamping the tool slide securely in a desired position, the clamping device has a clamping body actuatable by a user for exerting a clamping force, the clamping force is transferable to the tool slide via a force transmission element lying flat on the tool slide, the clamping device has a clamping bolt acted upon with a clamping force by the clamping body, and the clamping bolt exerts a clamping force on the force transmission element in a first longitudinal section and exerts a clamping force on the compensating slide in a second longitudinal section.
