  • Patent number: 6164879
    Abstract: Proposed is a drilling tool for drilling in solid material, having a base body (1) containing chip flutes (5, 5a) and at least two interchangeable inserts (3, 3a) at the face of the base body (1). The inserts are arranged on the base body at different radial distances such that their working ranges partially overlap. The blades (12) of the inserts (3, 3a) are formed by two cutting edges (8, 9) which together form an obtuse angle, that is the point angle (11). The face (13) of the blades (12) has parallel profile ribs (14, 14a) which act as runners and which in the region of the cutting edges (8, 9), aligned in the direction of chip removal, extend radially inwards over a curved course relative to their installed position, toward a flank region (17) of the insert (3, 3a) near the drilling tool axis (7).

  • Patent number: 6116825
    Abstract: A method for supplying the working parts of a boring tool, in particular a drill, with a lubricant which both cools and lubricates the drill. A dispenser is connected directly or indirectly to the drill to enable lubricant to be fed to the working parts of the drill through at least one channel in the drill. A boring tool, in particular a drill, is also disclosed with a shaft, a cutter, at least one internal lubricant channel and at least one reservoir being fitted as a dispenser for the lubricant. The reservoir is directly or indirectly connected to the drill by mechanical connections and to the at least one lubricant channel to permit the passage of lubricant. In addition, a tool holder designed to hold the drill is disclosed. The tool holder has an internal dispenser for the lubricant. The dispenser is connected, when the drill is fixed in place, to the at least one lubricant channel in the drill to permit the passage of lubricant.

  • Patent number: 5873683
    Abstract: A drilling tool, in particular a drill, has replaceable cutting elements that form the cutting edges, and chip-removing flutes. A chip shaping area (22) at least partially made of a more wear-resistant material than the drill body itself is arranged next to the faces (11) of the main cutting edges (5) approximately in the chip flow direction. In another embodiment, the chip shaping area if made of the same material as the drill body and is subjected to a subsequent local hardening process that makes it wear-resistant.

  • Patent number: 5800100
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a drilling tool for drilling in solid metal. It comprises a base body with flutes for chip removal and two interchangeable inserts (1) designed especially as reset bits, having the same shape and size and being arranged in a recess at the end of a flute at the front of the base body. The inserts (1) are situated at different radial distances from the drilling tool axis (30) with overlapping work ranges. The blade (4,4a) of the insert (1) is formed by two cutting edges (10, 10a) and (14, 14a) which together form an obtuse point angle (18). The insert (1) is characterized by an extended form in its longitudinal direction L with channel-like troughing of its faces (3) running essentially in the longitudinal direction and by an arrangement of the blades (4,4a) at the channel ends. Furthermore, the channel has a base surface (9) which with its longer parallelogram sides (6,7) forms an acute angle (8) with the longitudinal axis (2) of the insert (1).

  • Patent number: 5186584
    Abstract: A twist drill has a cutting member at the bottom, a shaft at the top, and a reduced-diameter root clearance region between the cutting member and the shaft. Cutting edges are provided at the transition between the cutting member and the root clearance region, and further cutting edges are provided at the transition between the shaft and the root clearance region. After a throughhole has been drilled using the cutting member, the drill is displaced laterally and moved along a circular path while it is still rotating. As a result, the cutting edges at the transition between the cutting member and the root clearance region countersink the bottom end of the throughhole. A similar procedure is employed to countersink the top end of the throughhole using the further cutting edges at the transition between the shaft and the root clearance region.

  • Patent number: 5137396
    Abstract: A groove cutter (1) has a groove cutting edge (3) that is inclined at a lead angle (.kappa.). The groove cutting edge (3) has a hollowed-out center region (11) between end regions (9, 10) on both sides, and connection cutting edges (15, 16) provide transitions between the center region (11) and the end regions (9, 10). The connection cutting edges (15, 16) have different lengths and are disposed with respect to one another at a flank angle (.delta.). The groove cutter (1) also has a cutting edge corner (7) that leads in a groove cutting direction (5), along with a cutting edge corner (8) that trails in the groove cutting direction (5). One of the connection cutting edges (15) is disposed adjacent to the leading cutting edge corner (7) and forms an inclination angle (.alpha.) with respect to an adjacent end region cutting edge (12). This angle of inclination (.alpha.) is greater than an oppositely directed inclination angle (.beta.

  • Patent number: 5035557
    Abstract: A rotary chuck for axially clamping a tool includes a spindle terminus forming part of a rotary machine tool spindle; a clamping element holder immobilized in the central bore of the spindle terminus; and a plurality of clamping elements circumferentially evenly distributed about the holder. Each clamping element is a one-armed spreading lever having a first end pivotally supported in the holder to provide for a pivotal movement of each clamping element in a plane containing the spindle axis. Each clamping element has a second end having a radially outwardly swung clamping position in which each second end is adapted to be clamped against an inner shoulder of a hollow tool shank received in the spindle bore for axially pulling the tool into engagement with a frontal end face of the spindle terminus. Each second end has a radially inwardly swung releasing position in which the tool is released from the chuck.

  • Patent number: 4913606
    Abstract: A tool changeover holder for machine tools has a rotationally driven spindle and a replaceable tool head that can be fixed thereto. The rotationally driven spindle has on the tool side a central journal, a chucking devoce and an annular face that surrounds this concentrically. The tool head has a central drilling to accommodate the spindle journal and an annular matching surface that surrounds the drilling concentrically. The spindle face and the matching surfaces have inversely congruent centering and torque-transmitting means that engage in each other in the chucked position. Hirth serration elements are arranged on the face of the spindle in a plurality of annular-sector shaped serration sections that lie on an annulus that is concentric with the axis of the spindle. These are separated from each other by the flat contact surface sections.

  • Patent number: 4863323
    Abstract: An apparatus to change and chuck a tool head incorporates a chucking system that is arranged in a recess in the drive spindle that chucks a tool-head shank that can be inserted into the accommodating opening. The chucking system incorporates a grip with an axially displaceable spreader and radial guide drillings that accommodate lock balls. The tool-head shank is configured as an annular cylinder and provided with an inside annular groove on the inclined groove side wall of which locking elements, that are arranged on the grip and can be forced apart in a radial direction, outside the lock balls on the grip, interact with corresponding locking surfaces both in the locking direction and in the direction of spread.

  • Patent number: 4797041
    Abstract: In a chuck for clamping a tool (1) into a carrier (2), a shank (3) is provided in the tool (1) and a mating bore (4) in the carrier (2). The shank (3) is insertable into the mating bore (4) and can be fixed there. To fix it, a locking element (7) is displaceably mounted in a radial transverse recess (6) of the shank (3) and its two front ends are provided with planar slopes (9, 10). Both slopes (9, 10) form an acute angle (11) which closes in the direction toward the tool (1). The chuck is tightened by means of pressure screws (15) which are screwed radially into an annular flange (12) of carrier (2) surrounding bore (4). The pressure element of the pressure screws (15) is a ball (14) having a truncation surface (13) which, when positioned in the same plane, charges the opposing slope (9, 10) of the locking element (7).
