  • Patent number: 9815131
    Abstract: A reamer or similar tool comprising a cutting device having a cutting edge, a clamping device, whereby the cutting device can be clamped to the main body of the tool, an adjusting device that interacts with the cutting device, for adjusting the machining diameter of the tool, and a guiding device comprising an elongated guiding element, which interacts with an elongated guiding receptacle such that the cutting device can be guided in a sliding manner perpendicularly to the center axis during a displacement when the adjusting device is activated. The guiding element and the guiding receptacle extend perpendicularly to the center axis of the main body of the tool. The guiding device of the tool has a single guiding element and/or a single guiding receptacle, and the guiding element has an elongated elevation and the guiding receptacle has an elongated recess.

  • Publication number: 20100196110
    Abstract: A reamer is proposed, having a basic body (3), at least one cutting tip (13) disposed essentially parallel to a face (11) of the reamer (1), which has a geometrically defined major cutting edge and a geometrically defined minor cutting edge (29, 27), and is held on a support surface (19) of the base body (3) by a tightening screw (39) that penetrates the cutting tip (13), where a back (17) of the cutting tip (13), which is polygonal in a bottom view, lies against the support surface (19), and having an adjustment device having an adjustment screw that acts on the cutting tip (13), which screw introduces adjustment forces into a side surface of the cutting tip (13). The reamer is characterized in that the ratio of the diameter (55) of an imaginary in-circle (53) that is tangential to the side edges (41, 41?, 45, 45?) of the back (17) of the cutting tip (13), relative to the thickness (d) of the cutting tip (13), lies in a range of 1.0 to 1.5, preferably in a range of 1.2 to 1.5.

  • Publication number: 20060140736
    Abstract: An interface between two parts of a tool system is proposed, in particular of a metalworking tool (1), having a holder (3) with a recess (31) and a replaceable head (5) disposed in axial continuation to the holder (3) including an extension (33) which can be inserted into the recess (31), and having a clamping device (19) to attach the replaceable head (5) to the holder (3). The clamping device is characterized by the clamping device (19) having a pull stud (41) and an eccentric cam (21) which displaces same in the axial direction, where the eccentric cam (21) can be actuated by way of a peripheral surface (17) of the metalworking tool (1).

  • Patent number: 6776553
    Abstract: Proposed is a connecting point between two tool parts with a device, comprising an elastic element, for effecting a defined angular position of rotation between the tool parts. Said connecting point is characterized in that the elastic element (23) in a first area (43) is clamped to the first tool part (3) in such a manner that in connecting the tool parts (3, 7) a second area (25) projects into the path of motion of the second tool part (7) so that it is deflected by said tool part and is deformed reversibly.
