A tool includes a cutting head and a holder, wherein the cutting head and the holder form two cooperating surfaces that are pressed together. The surfaces possess rows of alternating parallel grooves and ridges for locking the surfaces to each other. Each of the surfaces has two rows of grooves, one row oriented 90 DEG relative to the other row. On one of the surfaces, some of the grooves of one row are in non-intersecting relationship with the grooves of the other row. On the other surface, the rows extend completely across one another, whereby the rows together form a waffle-like pattern. The cooperating surfaces allow at least four separate relative positions between the cutting head and holder.
