Abstract: An improved milling head. A milling head is provided with a backing plate with a toothed system on the from side, whose teeth run in parallel to the longitudinal axis of the carrier body. Because the blade plate has a toothed system, which can be engaged with the toothed system on the front of the support plate, the blade plate no longer needs to be shifted radially outward to be resharpened. Rather the blade plate must only be radially displaced to the outside by a tooth of a micro-toothed system. This simplifies the regrinding on a constant flight circle diameter, because only the hard metal of the blade plate needs to be ground, which can be accomplished with a normal hard metal grinding wheel. The support plate only needs to be shaped when it is manufactured, which is possible with a normal corundum disk and can be accomplished quickly. Since the support plate does not need to be reground, it remains completely functional and can be used together with a new blade plate.

The free end portion is resiliently biased by the integral hinge portion to a position which allows the blade to be slidably received in the recess. Threaded fasteners are operable to cause the free end portion to pivot about the hinge portion and to drive the free end portion toward an oppositely located side of the recess so as to clamp the blade in the recess.

Abstract: A chamfering tool made up of a holder and a double headed blade. The holder is substantially cylindrical, with a bullet nose at one end and a turned down shank at the other end. An angularly offset bore for holding the blade penetrates the bullet nose at an angle to the holder longitudinal axis, and also penetrates the holder cylindrical wall. When the blade is installed in the bore, one or both heads externally expose their respective operating cutting edges. The blade is substantially cylindrical, with cutting edges at each end being perpendicular to and intersecting the longitudinal axis of the blade. The novel arrangement enables the chamfering tool to work in tight quarters, to be readily removed and easily sharpened, and enables both right and left handed cutting by a simple adjustment.

Abstract: A tooth for use in a comminuter roll comprises a roll of spring steel having a first end formed into a point or other abrading shape. The tooth is compressed upon insertion into a mounting hole in the roll and the inherent spring of the steel tends to force the tooth back to its original size, thereby creating forces on the interior of the mounting hole to form an interference fit that holds the tooth in place in the mounting hole. In a preferred embodiment, the tooth is formed of a roll of spring steel having a G-shaped cross section. This shape provides an opening through the length of the tooth and also leaves a solid place in the center of the tooth to aid in tooth removal. A rod can be slipped through the lengthwise opening of the first tooth so that its end abuts the solid center portion of the second tooth that is colinearly mounted in the other end of the hole that the first tooth is mounted in. Tapping the rod will force the second tooth out of its hole without disturbing the first tooth.
