During movement of the tool into a hole in a work piece the adjustable cutter element is inactive; the cutting operation is performed by one or more non-adjustable cutter elements. When the tool holder reaches the limit of its penetration into the work piece the remote adjusting mechanism is operated to move the adjustable cutter element radially outwardly to an active cutting position. During return movement of the holder out of the work piece the adjustable cutter element performs a finish machining operation on the hole surface.

Abstract: A drill for performing a roughing cut in a workpiece as the drill is advanced, and performing a finishing cut as the drill is retracted. A blade carrier is mounted eccentrically on the drill to be movable between first and second positions. In the first position, the blade is located for a roughing cut. In the second position, the blade is shifted radially for a finishing cut. A spring biases the carrier toward the second position and yields when the carrier moves to the first position. The spring bias is too weak to overcome reaction forces acting on the blade during a roughing cut, wherein the roughing cut reaction forces cause the carrier to be shifted to the first (roughing cut) position. The spring bias is strong enough to overcome the weaker reaction forces occurring during a finishing cut, so that the carrier is automatically shifted to the second (finishing cut) position when the drill is withdrawn through the workpiece.

Abstract: A router bit having an adjustable blade for cutting various widths of grooves includes a mechanism for maintaining static balance about the axis of rotation for all positions of the cutting blade within the range of adjustment. The router bit includes a main body adapted to be held and rotated by a chuck, and which includes a bore whose axis is parallel to but displaced from the axis of rotation of the main body. An arbor with an offset cutting blade is adjustably mounted in the bore, and the width of the groove is determined by the angular position of the arbor within the bore. However, such adjustment alters the static balance of the router bit about its axis of rotation. In accordance with the present invention, this source of unbalance is compensated by providing a counterweight whose position is dependent on the angular position of the arbor within the bore. In the preferred embodiment a cam on the shaft of the arbor bears against and determines the position of the counterweight.
