  • Patent number: 5295937
    Abstract: A grooving machine efficiently and speedily forms different kinds of grooves on the surface of a plate work (W). The grooving machine comprises a work table (11) on which the work (W) is fixed, a frame (7), an X-axis slider (17) disposed above the work table (11) and horizontally movably supported by the frame (7), a Z-axis slider (19) vertically movably supported by the X-axis slider (17), a tool holder base (75) supported by the Z-axis slider (19), and different kinds of cutting tools (97A to 97C) attached to the tool holder base (75), for grooving the surface of the work (W). Any one of these cutting tools (97A to 97C) is indexed to a cutting position where the work (W) is grooved. The tool holder base (75) has a cutting liquid supply portion (109) for supplying cutting liquid to a cutting zone where the indexed cutting tool cuts the work (W), and a cutting liquid suction portion (111) for sucking and removing excessive cutting liquid.
