Drill Press Attachment For Turning Patents (Class 82/171)
  • Patent number: 8353095
    Abstract: The present invention provides a self feeding drill press lathe attachment designed for rotating a workpiece along a horizontal axis to remove material from the workpiece to form it into a desired shape. The drill press lathe attachment comprises a base and a power transfer box along with components commonly found on a lathe, but without a motor. The drill press lathe attachment, or “motorless” lathe, may be mounted directly to the bed of an existing drill press thereby providing an alternative means of achieving turning operations without needing a traditional motor driven lathe.

  • Publication number: 20010014260
    Abstract: A radial drilling device (1) for a lathe (5) for radially piercing a turning part (4) supported by the lathe. At least one drill bit (2b) is supported by a mobile drilling jaw (3a, 3b) in a transverse orthogonal plane to the axis of rotation of the part (4) to be drilled. A principal revolving drilling set (ERP) carries the drilling assembly and causes the drilling assembly to rotate around the longitudinal axis of revolution of the part (4), at the same rotational speed as that of the part (4) which is to be drilled.

  • Patent number: 5301405
    Abstract: The milling machine lathe attachment is attachable to an existing milling machine so as to eliminate the need for an operator owning both a milling machine and a lathe. It is designed to be mounted to the side of the milling machine and to be used without disturbing a setup in the associated vise. The attachment is also designed to be mounted to the front of a milling machine and allows the programming of the very point of single point tool contact so as to follow whatever contour or steps are desired. This type of cutting is not possible on a lathe with guaranteed accuracy, while on a milling machine it is quite feasible.

  • Patent number: 5076743
    Abstract: A device for drilling an undercut in a borehole formed into a substrate includes a housing (1) containing a guide sleeve (2) with a bushing (4) arranged eccentrically within and rotatable relative to the guide sleeve. A torsion spring (6) is located between the guide sleeve and the bushing and is stressed when the bushing rotates relative to the sleeve. A drive shaft (8) with a cutter head (9) at one end is supported in the bushing and can be moved from a centered position into an eccentric position relative to the guide sleeve for forming the undercut. The rotational drive of the bushing (4) is afforded by the drive shaft (8) via an eccentric gear train. Furthermore, the gear train includes an internal ring gear (23) couplable to a gear train housing (19) by a wrap-around spring (31).

  • Patent number: 4995434
    Abstract: A tailstock assembly for a wood-turning lathe which facilitates the drilling of deep bores into long slender wooden workpieces. The tailstock includes a chuck grasping the tail end of the workpiece, said chuck having an axial center bore therethrough providing a guide for a drill inserted therein to make the bore.
