  • Patent number: 8876444
    Abstract: A depth limiting device for a boring tool having stop collar includes housing and a sleeve. The housing provides snap on attachment onto the stop collar, allowing for a free axial rotation of the said housing around the body of the stop collar. The housing and the sleeve have a threaded engagement for adjusting position relative to one another and thereby adjusting length of the working portion of boring tool. Coupled housing and sleeve are freely rotatable with respect to the body of the stop collar and cease to rotate when operator achieves desirable depth of drilling and the device is pressed against the work-piece surface. The structural interrelationship prevents marring of the surface of the work-piece.
