A slide positioning member is provided for shifting the cutter carrying slide along the slide path between a retracted position and a cutting position. An anti-backlash device is also provided for establishing and maintaining firm contact between opposing surfaces of the slide and the slide positioning member during movement of the slide toward the cutting position. The anti-backlash device increases force urging the opposing surfaces into contact with each other as radial displacement increases between the slide and an axis of rotation.

Abstract: A machine for taper threading the end of a bar such as reinforcing bar used in concrete construction utilizes a power operated vice to clamp and feed the bar end axially into a rotary head which contains chaser tooling holders which open uniformly on the bar end as the head rotates. The rotary head is axially stationary but contains an axially movable key or linear cam which engages a readily removable transversely extending control rod assembly in turn moving the chaser holders. Axial movement of the power vice and thus the bar end at a controlled axial speed with respect to the rotary speed of the head moves the key to cause the movement of the chaser holders. The chaser holders in addition to supporting the thread cutting chasers also support ahead of the chaser an indexable triangular insert to pre-cone the bar end.

Abstract: A boring tool is made from simple bar stock without significant external machining of the tool body. By providing a longitudinal bore which intersects a transverse slot, a longitudinally slidable wedge with splines can cooperate with a disc carried by a tool bar slidably received in the transverse slot. To ensure the most precise alignment between splines of the wedge and splines of a cooperating disc in the tool bar, the disc of the tool bar is attached to the tool bar with epoxy cement while the splines of the disc are engaged with the splines of the wedge. With the splines of the wedge being angularly offset from the longitudinal axis of the wedge, translation of the wedge will ensure accurately controlled movement of the tool bar.

Abstract: A device for boring holes has a geometrical longitudinal axis, a clamping zone, a shank having a front end zone, two turnover plates fastened on the front end zone of the shank in opposite positions, and a chip space in front of each turnover plate. In the shank, a longitudinal slot runs radially to the geometrical longitudinal axis, which is open towards the front end zone and has a bottom that extends so far towards the clamping zone that the shank halves thus formed can be bent forward at the front end zone to a degree that is sufficient for fine setting the bore diameter. Beyond the bottom of the longitudinal slot, a tapped hole in the shank is coaxial with the longitudinal axis. A coaxial rest hole in the shank in the inner zone of the longitudinal slot is intersected by the longiudinal slot.

Abstract: In the known, adjustable, single-cutting-edge machine reamers having a turnable cutting plate, the adjusting and re-adjusting operations are awkward and associated with difficulties because, at least as far as adjusting is concerned, adjustments have to be made at two points, and moreover for adjusting to the set desired value it is generally necessary to proceed in a step-by-step manner, gradually working ones way up to the desired value. These problems are due to the fact that adjustment can in principle only be made in the forward direction, that is to say in the direction of increasing diameter, whereas reverse adjustment in the proper meaning of the term is not possible but can only be achieved indirectly by carrying out a new adjustment with a lower starting value and adjusting in a forward direction.

The radial inner ends of the holders have cam followers thereon which are urged radially inwardly by spring members into engagement with one or more correspondingly tapered cam surfaces on a central pusher element. The pusher element is supported for axial movement within a longitudinal bore in the cutting tool and is precisely axially movable in opposite directions to cause precise radial inward and outward movement of the tool holders within such guideways.

Abstract: A skiving tool having a retractable knife for use in combination with a roller burnishing tool for finishing the internal surface of a cylindrical hole. The retractable knife includes a pair of radially extendible knife holders defining a camming path having an axial portion and an angled portion.
