  • Patent number: 5957176
    Abstract: In a profiled inserted-blade cutter, with blades (13) which can be re-sharpened without altering the profile and trajectory, each blade (13) is secured to a blade holder (14) having a base with a T-shape cross section, one arm (16) of the transverse section of which engages in a first longitudinal groove (4) in the basic unit (2). The other arm (17) engages in a second longitudinal groove (5) also in the basic unit (2) and open towards the first groove (4). The flanks of the first and second longitudinal grooves (4, 5) at a greater distance from the central longitudinal axis of the basic unit (2) lie in planes which are mutually parallel and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the basic unit and each form a positioning surface (6, 7) for one or other arm (16, 17) of the transverse section. On the blade holder (14) there is a clamping surface (15) which encloses a radially outwardly opening angle with the frontal surface (13') of the blade (13) and an acute angle with the adjacent positioning surface (7).

  • Patent number: 5904193
    Abstract: The invention concerns a cutter head, in particular a planing cutter head, whose blade carrier (1) has at least one mounting (5), facing radially outwards, for a blade (7). Fitted in each mounting (5) is a wedge grip (17) which can be moved relative to the blade carrier (1) and which presses the blade (7) against a stop (9) on the mounting (5) when moved with at least a component of motion radially outwards. Located between the blade (7) and the wedge grip (17) is a mounting strip (21) which can be moved relative to the wedge grip (17) and the stop (9) on the mounting (5) and which releases the blade (7) for removal radially outwards when the wedge grip (17) is displaced inwards.

  • Patent number: 5658101
    Abstract: An improved milling head. A milling head is provided with a backing plate with a toothed system on the from side, whose teeth run in parallel to the longitudinal axis of the carrier body. Because the blade plate has a toothed system, which can be engaged with the toothed system on the front of the support plate, the blade plate no longer needs to be shifted radially outward to be resharpened. Rather the blade plate must only be radially displaced to the outside by a tooth of a micro-toothed system. This simplifies the regrinding on a constant flight circle diameter, because only the hard metal of the blade plate needs to be ground, which can be accomplished with a normal hard metal grinding wheel. The support plate only needs to be shaped when it is manufactured, which is possible with a normal corundum disk and can be accomplished quickly. Since the support plate does not need to be reground, it remains completely functional and can be used together with a new blade plate.

  • Patent number: 4826363
    Abstract: In a milling cutter, particularly a planer face-milling cutter having at least one blade arranged in a groove of the cylindrical milling cutter body, which blade has a spiral shaped cutting edge, both the sides of the groove which runs at an angle greater than zero degrees relative to the longitudinal axis of the milling cutter body and the side surfaces of the blade to be secured in the groove are planar parallel surfaces. The edge forming the cutting edge of the blade is bulged over the entire length of the blade to provide a uniform spacing above the outer peripheral surface of the milling cutter body. The spiral shape of the cutting edge of the blade is formed by a corresponding ground surface on the edge zone of the blade forming the cutting edge.
