Abstract: The invention relates to a rotating shank-type tool (11) with a shank (12), in which at least one main channel (21) for coolant/lubricant extends in the longitudinal direction of the shank and from which, in the end region of the main channel, at least one branch channel (22) leads outward and forms a mouth (23). A cutting head (13) is connected to the shank (12) and has chip grooves (15) and a groove run-out region (16). A sleeve (19) engages over the mouth (23). The end region of the sleeve (19) covers at least the groove run-out region (16) of the cutting head (13). The branch channel mouth (23) is positioned in the shank at a distance from the cutting head (13).

Abstract: An external reamer has a cutting head (11) having two claws (15, 16) projecting parallel to the axis from a base (12). On one claw (15) is fastened a cutter plate (28), whose axially parallel cutting edge (32) is directed radially inwards in order accordingly to machine a cylindrical outer side of a workpiece. On the other claw(16) a guide strip (45) is detachably fastened by means of at east one clamp screw (57), so that its guide surface (48) lies, diametrically opposite the cutting edge, against the outer side of the workpiece and stabilizes the machining operation. This guide strip (45) is preferably capable of fine adjustment in the radial direction by means of a pressure screw (63). The detachability of the guidestrip (45) has the advantage that the surface of the guide face (48) can be produced without problems separately from the cutting head (11) and with any desired shape. In the same way a plurality of similar guide strips distributed around the circumference may also be provided.

Abstract: Reamers, when operated with large amounts of material removed and at high reaming speeds, encounter difficulties when they ream in material in which permanent structural changes occur on the application of heat and subsequent rapid cooling. These difficulties are avoided in that the transition region between the main cutting edge and the minor cutting edge follows a constantly curved path at least one end region of which runs tangentially to at least the minor cutting edge.

Abstract: A single-blade reamer is guided in a hole by means of at least one guide fillet. The guide fillet is provided with a coating of cubical boron nitride (CBN) in the region of its guide surface facing the wall of the hole. The guide fillet thus withstands heavier loads, so that the reamer is suitable in particular for the economical machining of hardened steel alloys.

Abstract: In known tool holders only a single screw is used to compensate for axiality faults which exist. It is true that this is a simple construction, but it is not adequate for sensitive compensation of axiality faults requiring attention, particularly in fine drilling. According to the invention this is achieved in the case of the invention by using a tangential tension screw 73 to move towards one another the two sectors 78, 79 of a compensator ring 13, so that the adapter 14 can be sensitively moved into a position in which the geometrical longitudinal axis 17 of the tool 93 becomes coaxial to the spindle axis.

Abstract: In a machine reamer a cutter is guided in a guide slot in the main body and is supported at one end against a pin-shaped axial adjuster. The axial adjuster is a hollow cylindrical stop pin whose slotted pin head can be radially expanded by means of a countersunk head screw, whereby the cutter supported against it is sensitively moved in the direction radial to the axis of the pin.
