    Abstract: A boring apparatus, such as a drilling apparatus for forming holes in pressurised pipes, comprises a cutting head (5) mounted to a distal end of a boring bar (2) which is itself connected to a feed screw (3) by a feed nut so that relative rotation between the boring bar (2) and the feed screw (3) cause the cutting head (5) and boring bar (2) to traverse axially along the feed screw (3) whilst the cutting head (5) is rotated for cutting. The apparatus has a main drive motor arranged to drive the cutting head (5), boring bar (2) and a main drive shaft (4). The main drive shaft (4) and the feed screw (3) are operably connected at the proximal end through a pair of adjacent coaxial planetary gear assemblie (6) whose planetary gear carriers are liked to rotate in unison about the axis.

    Abstract: A tool for cutting machining a workpiece, including a cutter plate supported on a holder for machining a surface and additionally comprising a tool projecting from the body of the tool. The cutter plate is supported on a holder which is in turn supported on a rotatable eccentric such that rotation of the eccentric moves the holder radially. A cooperating converting device converts axial movement of an actuating device into rotation of the eccentric through intermeshing gear elements. A second tool, e.g., a reamer, is moved by a second push/pull rod axially with respect to the body of the tool and into the workpiece, and the second tool is supported on the axis of the main body.

    Abstract: A slider 16 having a cutting insert 5A is slidably mounted in a groove 11 formed along the generatrix dimension of a substantially conical tool body 1. Serrations 12 and 16a, which are brought into close contact with each other for engagement, are formed on one side surface 11a of the groove 11 and on one side surface of the slide 16 opposite thereto. A wedge member 13 is detachably mounted between the other side surface 11b of the groove 11 and the slider 16 and is pressed against the side surface 11a so as to cause the serrations 12 and 16 to be engaged with each other. No special shaping accuracy is needed for the groove 11 or the slider 16 since any shaping error in these members can be absorbed so that a sufficient mounting accuracy is ensured for the slider 16. Thus, it is possible to reduce the requisite labor, etc. for the shaping of these members while maintaining the requisite positional accuracy for the cutting insert 5A.

  • Patent number: 4105360
    Abstract: A boring tool assembly performs both the rough and finish cutting operations upon a metal work piece without power activation or manual adjustments of the tool units between the cutting strokes. The assembly includes a boring bar having a pair of fixed, diametrically opposed rough cut tool units, and a pair of retractable finish tool units diametrically opposed to each other also. The tool units are automatically operative in response to either the rough cut or the finish cut of the boring tool assembly. Spring biased plungers normally pivot the finish cutting units toward their cutting positions. During the initial or rough cutting operation, forces act upon the heel of the finish tools causing retraction from the cutting position. This is possible due to the cutting edge configuration and angle of orientation of the tools, the positioning of the tools on the trailing side of the boring bar centerline, and the direction of advancement of the boring bar.
