A tool holder is equipped with a tip run-out correction mechanism for
correcting run-out of the tip of the tool. The tip run-out correction
mechanism includes an annular stepped portion formed on a cylindrical
support portion of a holder body; a ring member rotatably fitted onto the
annular stepped portion; an eccentric cam disposed within the ring
member, the eccentric cam extending radially through the ring member and
being rotatable about a radially extending axis; and a pin disposed
within the ring member to be movable along a direction parallel to the
center axis of a flange portion of the holder body. One end of the pin is
in contact with the eccentric cam, and the other end of the pin is in
contact with a rear end face of a clamp sleeve which clamps a tool
inserted into a chuck sleeve of the holder body. The eccentric cam is
rotated so as to adjust press force that the pin applies to the rear end
face of the clamp sleeve, to thereby elastically deform a base end
portion of the chuck sleeve in a radial direction in such a manner that
tip run-out of the tool approaches zero.
