  • Publication number: 20140003872
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cassette for a milling cutter having a cutter carrier and a clamping part, which together constitute a generally rectangular cassette, the cutter carrier and the clamping part being loosely placed on each other and together delimiting a fastening opening for a fastening screw by means of which the cassette can be fastened in a receiver of a milling cutter, the cutter carrier having a seat for a cutting insert. The invention additionally relates to a milling cutter having at least one receiver for a cassette and having at least one such cassette. A gap, S, between the cutter carrier and the clamping part is located below the cutting tip of the cutting insert to prevent chips from being lodged in the gap, S.

  • Patent number: 8123442
    Abstract: An expandable reamer includes a shank portion, a cutting portion extending from the shank portion, and a tapered pin capable of being at least partially received in the cutting portion. The cutting portion includes a plurality of blades separated by flutes, and a tapered inner surface with threads. The tapered pin includes a tapered outer surface with threads and causes expansion or contraction of the cutting portion when the tapered pin is screwed or unscrewed into the cutting portion. In one embodiment, a coolant channel extends from a coolant cavity through a wall of the cutting portion to provide fluid to the blades during machining of through-holes. In another embodiment, the tapered pin includes a coolant passage in fluid communication with the coolant cavity to provide fluid to the blades during machining of blind holes.
