A cutting blade, shim and lock-down bar are received in the first slot of the support roll. The lock-down bar supports a plurality of set screws oriented at an acute angle relative to the cutting blade. Tightening the plurality of set screws in the lock-down bar causes the set screws to urge the cutting blade and bar apart from each other and into friction engagement against the opposite sidewalls of the first slot, thereby securing the cutting blade and mounting bar in the first slot.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 1992Date of Patent: July 13, 1993Inventor: Thomas J. Rosemann

Patent number: 5222842Abstract: The milling tool, in one form, has a shank having a shank rotation axis, a first cutting-edge carrier having at least one cutting edge and at least two arched areas and a second cutting-edge carrier having at least one cutting edge and at least two arched areas. The arched areas are shaped and positioned to form a tubular socket in which the shank is attached with both cutting-edge carriers radially projecting in a lobe-like manner from the shank and being rotatable about the shank rotation axis. The at least two arched areas of both cutting-edge carriers are spaced from each other axially, have surfaces normal to the shank rotation axis, arch in the same direction and are displaced from and parallel to the shank rotation axis so that the first and second cutting-edge carriers mutually overlap to form the tubular socket for the shank so that, when the shank is attached in the tubular socket, the cutting-edge carriers are locked against each other.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 1991Date of Patent: June 29, 1993Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Karl Schweikert, Helmut Weisser

Patent number: 5218888Abstract: A tipped annular hole cutter is made by brazing all the cutting tips (30) simultaneously to the cylindrical wall (12) of the cutter body. The tips (30) have outer and inner lands (32, 34) which locate against the outer and inner surfaces (52, 54) of the cylindrical wall (12). This accurately locates the tips radially during brazing. The radially inner face (46) of the tip (30) is inclined so as to define an inner clearance face which has the necessary circumferential and radial clearances without therebeing any need to grind the inner face (46) after brazing.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 1990Date of Patent: June 15, 1993Assignee: Rotabroach LimitedInventor: Derrick Merrill

Patent number: 5171109Abstract: A cutting tool is disclosed which has a tool body, a cutting insert and an insert-holding member. The tool body has a recess formed therein, and the cutting insert is received in the recess. The insert-holding member is attached to releasably secure the cutting insert to the recess. The insert-holding member includes a surface layer having a thickness of 0.1 to 1.0 mm and an interior portion. The surface layer is harder than the interior portion and has a hardness of from H.sub.R C 40 to 60.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 1992Date of Patent: December 15, 1992Assignee: Mitsubishi Materials CorporationInventors: Tatsuo Arai, Takayoshi Saito

Patent number: 5161335Abstract: A method is provided which bonds a composite abrasive compact to a cemented carbide pin. The method includes the steps locating a braze alloy having a perforated metal material embedded therein between a surface of the composite abrasive compact and a surface of the cemented carbide pin. The braze alloy has a melting point below that of the metal material. The surfaces are urged together, the temperature of the braze alloy is raised to above its melting point and maintained at this temperature for a short period. The alloy is then allowed to cool and solidify and bond the surfaces together.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 1990Date of Patent: November 10, 1992Assignee: DeBeers Industrial Diamond Division (Proprietary) LimitedInventor: Klaus Tank
