Abstract: A fly cutter cutting tool is disclosed by this invention. The fly cutter cutting tool has a mounting shaft and a cutting base in a T-arrangement to provide a counter-balance. The carbide insert is attached to the working end. The working end has a rake angle to aid in clearing chips from beneath the tool holder and aid in the cutting process. The working end also has a hood to create a downward angle to deflect machined chips to prevent fouling of the work piece during cutting. The mounting shaft is attached to the cutting base at a perpendicular or a substantially perpendicular angle.

Abstract: A linear rail system having an apparatus for adjusting the preload on the individual rollers of the slider body which provides a linear rail of the type having upper and lower parallel raceways through which a slider body having a number of rollers attached thereto is adapted to axially translate. The rollers are assured contact with the upper and lower raceways while also providing the ability to absorb shocks placed on the slider body.
