  • Patent number: 7524149
    Abstract: A tool for countersinking, deburring and spindling out holes is described, consisting of a blade holder driven rotationally about its longitudinal axis, in which, at an angle to its longitudinal axis, at least one recess is arranged, in which one or more cutting blades or their holders are held as exchangeably and/or displaceably load-transmitting. In order to guarantee better protection against tilting and breaking of the cutting blade out of the recess in the blade holder it is provided that the recess is formed from radii substantially blending into one another.

  • Publication number: 20080166197
    Abstract: The invention describes a drill plate with a clamping attachment in a rotatably driven base body, which on one of its end faces forms a centering groove that is open towards the top. A clamping slot extending into the material of the base body is arranged at the bottom of the centering groove. The centering groove is bounded by at least two opposing mounting jaws, with at least two diametrically opposing stop faces arranged in the region of the clamping jaws for providing centering contact with the drill plate. The clamping attachment is formed by a mounting screw which clamps the drill plate in the centering groove (2.3). To improve transfer of the operating torque from the drill plate to the base body and to facilitate handling, at least two centering fins that are diametrically opposed with respect to the transverse center axis are arranged on the drill plate. The centering fins contact corresponding stop faces disposed on the corresponding clamping jaws of the base body.

  • Patent number: 7273334
    Abstract: The first cutting edge can advantageously remove a large burr from the edge of a drilled hole with high effectiveness, because of the particularly aggressive cutting action of the first cutting edge. The following inclined second cutting edge advantageously allows precise chamfers to be cut, i.e., the surface and the angle of the counter bore can be precisely maintained, independent of the wear on the cutting edges. A control surface located adjacent to the cutting edge in the forward region enables a precise control of the cutter.

  • Patent number: 7172373
    Abstract: The invention relates to a deburring tool with a quick change knife, which is formed by at least two parts, namely a guide sleeve having a larger diameter and a center bore, and a base body that can be inserted in the center bore in an axial direction. The base body can be secured in the center bore. A knife groove is arranged on the base body that can receive the knife to be secured, forming a pivot support in the base body. Due to this special support, the knife can be easily exchanged even when the deburring diameters are small, for example, less than 4 mm, while still being able to absorb large deburring forces.
