  • Patent number: 4597424
    Abstract: The woodworking device is of the type having a base; a horizontally extending support frame carried by the base; and a drive motor mounted on the support frame for being adjustably moved to and maintained at selected positions along said horizontally extending support frame. The drivew motor has a rotatable drive shaft extending generally horizontally. The machine has an accessory seat carried by the base for receiving thereon various woodworking tools or accessories. The carving adapter comprises a mounting platform for being carried by the accessory seat; bearing means carried by said mounting platform; an elongate rotatable shaft having a first portion extending from one end thereof to a medial location in the shaft and a second portion extending from the medial location to the other end thereof.

  • Patent number: 4578005
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to machining reforming apparatus for machining electrodes of a resistance welding device. The apparatus comprises a body having an insertion portion for receiving at least one electrode and at least one rotary cutter, the cutter having a cutter portion adapted to extend along a peripheral inclined surface on a front portion of an electrode. A receiving base member is positioned within the body on the axis of rotation of the rotary cutter, wherein the receiving base member is adapted to abut a front end surface of an electrode. The cutter portions are biased radially inward towards an electrode, the biasing device maintaining proper contact between the edge of the cutter and the electrode.

  • Patent number: 4566512
    Abstract: An attachment for portable routers having a relatively long, rotary cutting tool for imparting decorative contours in relatively non-portable construction components such as staircase railings and the like. A massive block is mounted on a relatively thick base plate and the block, in turn, mounts a cantilevered bearing holder in spaced apart parallelism from the base plate. One end of the shaft of the cutting tool is rotatably mounted in the bearing and the other shaft end is coupled to the router chuck.

  • Patent number: 4504178
    Abstract: The tool includes a handle containing a motor whose shaft extends from a tool head and carries a ball-shaped or a barrel-shaped cutter. A cantilever arm extends from the tool head and has a guide element cantilevered from its free end. The guide element is pivoted about one or two axes, extending at right angles to the axis of cutter rotation.

  • Patent number: 4279554
    Abstract: A motor-driven ball cutter is disposed in a guide member held in relation to the rotational drive axis and being suspended for pivoting on an axis traversing the rotational axis in the ball's center due to mounting of the suspension coaxially to the rotational axis by means of a handle. The guide member is provided, for example, with an arcuate, outwardly tapered slot against which bears the work. The cutting depth is adjustable.

  • Patent number: 4187046
    Abstract: A hand operated power tool is used for trimming and edge finishing a workpiece such as a counter top or desk top. The tool comprises a housing having two guide surfaces arranged substantially perpendicular to each other and an electric motor-driven cutter mounted in a recess in one of the guide surfaces, arranged parallel to one guide surface and perpendicular to the other guide surface. The two guide surfaces support the tool on a flat surface of the workpiece and maintain the cutter in position with respect to the material to be cut. In addition, a cutter guide bearing at the end of the cutter further guides and limits the movement of the cutter. The tool may be operated in two different positions so that edges adjacent to blind corners and curved surfaces may be trimmed. Different shaped cutter bits can be used for trimming square, beveled, or radiused edges with no adjustments to the tool.
