Abstract: A brake disk turning device accommodates runout using a front flange coupled to an adapter connected to the brake hub, and a rear flange fixed to a chuck of a lathe for turning the disk. Spacing adjusters are at equal intervals around the flanges for individually adjusting a spacing between the flanges at each interval to tilt the front flange with respect to the rear flange to accommodate the runout. Each adjuster has a toothed wheel and a retractable pin movable by an actuator to intercept the wheel to incrementally rotate the wheel during rotation of the flanges. A pinion connected to the wheel is meshed with a gear. Annular grooves with varying depth are provided between the gear and the front flange with balls therein for adjusting the spacing between the gear and front flange (9) depending on their rotation position.

Abstract: A holder is designed to receive a cutting insert intended for parting and grooving operations. The insert is clampable in a seat formed between a blade tongue and a clamping finger which respectively extend from lower and upper front parts of the holder. A gap separates those front parts in order to enable those parts to be forced towards each other by means of a clamping mechanism mounted in the holder. The clamping mechanism comprises a drawbar, a first end portion of which is movable within a bore formed in one of the front parts, and a second end portion of which is fixed in the other front part. The first end portion of the drawbar includes a head having a frusto-conical abutment surface. A tightening screw is threadedly mounted in the same front part as the head and is arranged to contact the abutment surface to displace the drawbar in a direction forcing the clamping finger and the tongue together to clamp the cutting insert in place.

Abstract: A cutter system that is designed to create a continuous cutting true helix while having true helical inserts that are indexable on at least two cutting edges. The shape of the insert allows an interlocking overlap of the cutting edges for an all effective true helical cut. The helix ground into the insert faces creates a smooth cutting action as a solid helical endmill. High positive radial and axial rakes enable free cutting machining with a fine finish and low horsepower consumption. The back of the insert has a diamond shaped island that is used for locating the insert in the mounting pocket of the cutter and is used for face contact on lockup when the insert screw is tightened. The mounting pocket is designed for ease of manufacture to limit tolerance buildup to ensure repeatable insert positioning and to maintain accuracy for a fine cutting finish. The insert screw hole is placed in the cross hole location for allowing an unobstructed cutting face and a larger diameter center core in the cutter body.

Abstract: A chuck for securing a working tool in a machine tool and including a one-piece, ring-shaped carrier member arranged outside of the end surface of the receiving end region of the chuck and parallel thereto and provided with cutting region having additional cutting elements distributed circumferentially around the receiving bore of the receiving end region and extending transverse to a plane defined by the ring-shaped carrier member and projecting away from the carrier member which secured by crews to the receiving end region of the chuck.

Abstract: An insert providing an improved wiper on cutting edges that form the surface finish of a workpiece, wherein the cutting edge is a curve in a plane of the flank that forms the finish cutting edge, the curve having an apex proximate the common corner, the curve forming a wiper on the finish cutting edge at or closely proximate to the apex.

Abstract: A tool holder for a cutting insert for chip removing machining includes a base body on which is disposed an insert-receiving seat for receiving a cutting insert. The seat includes an insert-support surface and two side surfaces upstanding from the insert-support surface. A slot forms a rear extension of the seat and includes a bottom surface disposed at a lower level than the insert-support surface. The body includes a wing which forms one side of the slot and one of the side surfaces of the insert seat. The side surfaces of the seat diverge in a direction away from the slot. A screw passes through a hole in the wing and extends transversely to a longitudinal direction of the slot. The screw is threadedly received in a hole formed in a side of the slot disposed opposite the wing, so that a tightening of the screw causes the side surfaces of the seat to more tightly grip the insert.
