Abstract: A drill having an elongated body including a fluted land and a shank. The fluted land includes a plurality of radial grooves of reduced material thickness formed therein to the depth of the flutes. The grooves define discrete segments of the drill. Each segment has a facet which has the relief of a drill tip so that when the exposed drill tip becomes dull, the segment can be broken off at the notch exposing a successive, sharp drill tip.

Abstract: A boring bar includes an insert pocket formed on the back side of a relief in the working end of the bar, for the removable installation of a cutting insert therein. The insert pocket may be formed to provide a positive rake angle for the insert installed therein, relative to the axis of the bar, and further may include a positive angle relative to the radius of the bar as well. The force imparted to the insert as the bar is forced against the workpiece, tends to force the insert upwardly and inwardly into the pocket of the bar, thus assisting in holding and securing the insert to the bar. The bar is also thicker at the upper portion of the insert pocket than at the lower portion of the pocket, thus providing additional strength and stiffness to the bar in this critical area to reduce the possibility of chatter and breakage of the bar. Either the tool moves and the workpiece is stationary, or the workpiece moves and the tool is stationary.

Abstract: A drill includes support pads for supporting and guiding the drill in the drill hole. The support pads are formed as parallelepiped-shaped cemented carbide bodies which each have two wing-shaped protrusions on their longitudinal sides. In a corresponding way, the drill head of the drill includes recesses with two bulged parts on the long sides. This gives the support pad a determined axial position and strengthens the support pad at the weakening caused by the central hole. Further, the support pad can be turned half a revolution if one of its ends becomes damaged since the end spaces do not have to function as abutment surfaces.

The cutter blade includes cutting edges along one transverse edge of the blade and notches in the upper and lower transverse edges of the blade for respective coaction with a set scrw received in a threaded central axial bore in the lower pilot end of the pilot holder. In use, the lower pilot portion of the pilot holder is positioned in a previously provided pilot hole in a plate member, and the pilot holder is lowered and simultaneously rotated to move the cutting edge of the cutter blade into the upper face of the plate member to perform a cutting operation in the upper face, whereafter the pilot holder and cutter blade are raised, the set screw is loosened to allow removal of the cutter blade from the pilot holder, the pilot holder is lowered to dispose the slot below the lower face of the plate member, the cutter blade is rotated through 180.degree.

Abstract: A drill for performing a roughing cut in a workpiece as the drill is advanced, and performing a finishing cut as the drill is retracted. A blade carrier is mounted eccentrically on the drill to be movable between first and second positions. In the first position, the blade is located for a roughing cut. In the second position, the blade is shifted radially for a finishing cut. A spring biases the carrier toward the second position and yields when the carrier moves to the first position. The spring bias is too weak to overcome reaction forces acting on the blade during a roughing cut, wherein the roughing cut reaction forces cause the carrier to be shifted to the first (roughing cut) position. The spring bias is strong enough to overcome the weaker reaction forces occurring during a finishing cut, so that the carrier is automatically shifted to the second (finishing cut) position when the drill is withdrawn through the workpiece.

Abstract: An improved threading tool kit for forming threads on cylindrical members that have different diameters is provided and consists of a holding member that is pivotally threaded to the underside of a stock. The holding member can accommodate one of a plurality of different size bushings to guide one of the different diameters cylindrical members into the stock to be threaded.

Abstract: The operating life of the two guide members in a single bit reamer is increased by shaping the peripheral surface of the guide members with a radius of curvature less than the radius of the bore being machined. Contact between each guide member and the bore wall takes place only along a central quest area extending in the lengthwise direction of each guide member. This allows coating of the peripheral surfaces of the guide members with a hard, wear resistant material. Further, the guide members may be fastened to the cutter head by means of a screw situated in a groove extending in the tangential direction along the peripheral surface of each guide member. This increases the lubricating and cooling effect.
