  • Patent number: 4362447
    Abstract: An adjustable face milling cutter is carried on a turntable rotatable about a central axis that is coaxial with the cylindrical shell of the steam generator in which the tubesheet is located, to machine a circular path on the upper tubesheet surface. For complete circle-by-circle scanning of the tubesheet surface, the radius of the circular machined path is variable by virtue of mounting the milling cutter on the outer periphery of a circular mounting member turnable to different locked rotary positions about an off-center pivot axis on the turntable. The rotary support for the turntable is at its outer periphery, as provided by an encircling support ring which in turn is supported by a ball bearing assembly having an inner race secured to the turntable top and an outer race secured to the support ring top; teeth on the inner race being provided to accommodate a motor-operated drive gear.
