  • Patent number: 11453144
    Abstract: Disclosed is a portable dowel making tool. The tool includes a base, a dowel positioning portion is arranged on the base, the dowel positioning portion is provided with a dowel passing hole for a dowel to pass through, and the base or/and the dowel positioning portion is/are provided with a cutting mechanism which matches the dowel passing hole so as to cut, when a material rotates, the material into a cylinder capable of passing through the dowel passing hole. According to the present disclosure, by arranging the dowel positioning portion on the base and by arranging the cutting mechanism at the dowel positioning portion, a log can be conveniently cut to obtain the regular dowel without tools such as a lathe such that the dowel can be machined more conveniently. The tool can match various rotatable components to machine the dowel, such that machining is more convenient.

  • Patent number: 5127774
    Abstract: A specialized, solid, cylindrical tool bit for cleaning uneven surface material from the bottom or floor of a dado channel previously cut in a workpiece. The bit operates at rotation speeds in excess of 10,000 revolutions per minute and has a cutting member having a cutting edge along only the bottom of the cutting member. The cutting edge has four cutting teeth spaced equidistant from each other and circumferentially close to an axis of rotation of the bit. The teeth and body member cooperate to dissipate the heat generated by the high speed rotation of the bit during the cleaning operation of the bit. The entire outer circumferential surface of the cutting member presents no cutting edge for engagement with the side walls of the channel cut in the workpiece. This tool bit performs the task of creating a perfectly flat plane on the bottom surface or floor of the dado channel.

  • Patent number: 4753558
    Abstract: The present invention concerns in brief a drill (1) for making of preferably through installation bores, through which bores flexible shafts, cables and the like can be lead in. The drill (1) comprises a bore crown (2) and a shank (3). The bore crown (2) has main cutting edges (6, 7) for forward drilling, side cutting edges (8) for radial drilling, and end cutting edges (9) for rearward drilling. The shank (3) preferably has a significantly smaller thickness than the area being drilled by the main cutting edges (6, 7).

  • Patent number: 4434826
    Abstract: A shank is provided for stationary support from a rotary drive structure with the shank coaxial with the axis of rotation of the drive structure. The shank includes a head on one end having an outwardly opening bit receiving bore formed therein coaxial with the shank. An open ended slot is formed through the head transverse to the bore and opens laterally outwardly in the direction in which the bore opens. A twist drill bit is provided and has a longitudinally extending flat on its shank end and the shank end of the drill bit is snugly received within the bore with the flat thereon substantially coplanar with one side of the slot laterally outwardly of which the shank end is disposed. An elongated cutting plate is snugly slidably received in the slot and against the flat with one end portion of the plate projecting outwardly of the corresponding end of the slot.
