Abstract: A tool having a base body is proposed, on which at least one cutter holder, preferably a rocker-type cutter holder, is mounted such that it can be adjusted transversely with respect to the axis of the tool. The cutter holder carries a cutter and rests via a pressure piece on a control chamfer, which is provided on a control sleeve which is mounted in the base body such that it can be displaced axially in relation to the pressure force.

Abstract: A tool for cutting machining a workpiece, including a cutter plate supported on a holder for machining a surface and additionally comprising a tool projecting from the body of the tool. The cutter plate is supported on a holder which is in turn supported on a rotatable eccentric such that rotation of the eccentric moves the holder radially. A cooperating converting device converts axial movement of an actuating device into rotation of the eccentric through intermeshing gear elements. A second tool, e.g., a reamer, is moved by a second push/pull rod axially with respect to the body of the tool and into the workpiece, and the second tool is supported on the axis of the main body.

The control member, preferably from a preset threshold speed of rotation, effects a movement of one part (5) relative to the other (3).

Abstract: A screw mechanism having a shaft which is guided in such a way that its reciprocating movement is converted at the output of the screw mechanism into a rotary movement. The shaft has a reciprocating rod and a round slide which are aligned axially with one another. At their mutually overlapping end regions, the reciprocating rod and the round slide respectively have guide surfaces which are of helical construction, run in the axial direction and are matched to one another in specular fashion. The round slide has an axial abutment of which limits the reciprocating movement of the round slide while the rotary movement is released. The reciprocating rod cooperates with a guide that prevents its rotation while permitting its reciprocation.

Abstract: A facing head includes a housing with a center axis and a rotary slide with a rotation axis offset from the housing center axis. At least one cutter plate is provided on the rotary slide and rotatable therewith. A centrifugal drive is located in the housing which rotates the rotary slide about its axis of rotation. The centrifugal drive includes at least two driving bodies which are mounted within the base body of the facing head and which are displaceable essentially perpendicular to the center axis under the influence of centrifugal force. The rotary slide rotates under the influence of a spring return device when centrifugal force does not move the driving bodies outward. A coupling device in the form of a gear wheel on the rotary slide co-operates with racks on the driving bodies so that the driving bodies move together but in opposition.

Abstract: A polygon shaped cutting tip for a metal workpiece boring tool, the cutting tip having linear side edges lying in a common plane and adjacent side edges which pass tangentially into rounded corner regions. Parts of the corner regions and of the side edges serve as the primary and secondary cutting edges of the tip. A chip breaker edge is arranged at a distance in from the side edges. A chip breaker surface extends from the side edge to the chip breaker edge. The chip breaker edge includes linear sections corresponding to the linear side edges of the tip and has curved sections which correspond to the curved regions of the side edges. The arc of curvature of both the curved regions and the curved sections is the same although the arcuate length of the curved sections is greater. The chip breaker surface extends from the side edges of the corner regions inward toward and downward into the tip at an acute angle where it intersects the chip breaker edges.
