The individual cutting insert is formed with only one cutting edge) and has a rear end in the form of a shoulder surface, against which an adjusting mechanism is pressed for the fine adjustment of the radial position of the cutting insert in relation to the basic body. On the underside of the cutting insert, there is in addition a control means, e.g. a serration connecting surface, which interacts with the corresponding control means in the appurtenant seat in the basic body. In addition, the invention concerns a power skiving cutting insert as such.
