  • Patent number: 4384621
    Abstract: A device for cutting an edge of a workpiece comprising, a drive head having a carrier, a support bracket connected to the drive head for fixing the drive head with respect to the working piece edge, a tool holder reciprocately movable in and by the drive head, an impact cutting tool connected to the tool holder for cutting the workpiece edge, and a guide sleeve rotatably mounted but fixable in position in the carrier for guiding the motion of the cutting tool. The guide sleeve is rotatable to rotate the cutting tool and bring different edges thereof into a cutting position. Depending on the shape of the cutting tool, a plurality of edges are provided which can be changed as they become dull by rotating the guide sleeve. The axis of a cutting end of the impact tool can also be offset from an axis of the sleeve and an axis of a clamping end of the cutting tool connected to the tool holder to vary the depth at which the edge of the workpiece is cut.
