  • Publication number: 20110086582
    Abstract: An annular retaining groove is formed on the inner circumferential portion of the disk-shaped rotating tool, and a ringlike cushioning member is fitted in this annular retaining groove so as to be partially exposed. Both sides of the inner circumferential portion of the disk-shaped rotating tool are held by first and second holding members through the annular cushioning member. An axial portion of the first holding member is engaged with an output shaft of an electric rotary machine so that the disk-shaped rotating tool is rotated through the first holding member by the output shaft.

  • Patent number: 7603999
    Abstract: A metal bonded drilling and boring tool which can prevent the separation of abrasive grains during drilling and boring to maintain a stable working performance for a long period of time without the need for tool exchange. The tool includes a rod-shaped body having a substantially semispherical front end portion and numerous abrasive grains bonded to an outer circumferential surface of the rod-shaped body at the front end portion and at a portion having a given length from the front end portion by a bond member formed primarily of copper alloy. The bond member contains a material selected from the group consisting of Ti, Al, and a mixture thereof. The copper alloy is selected from the group consisting of bronze containing 10 to 33 wt % of Sn, brass containing 5 to 20 wt % of Zn, and aluminum bronze containing 5 to 20 wt % of Al.
