Abstract:
A thread cutting milling tool comprises a shank with a working portion formed with a recess for receiving a thread cutting insert. The thread cutting insert has one edge formed with a line of thread-form teeth of identical profile. The thread cutting teeth project laterally for cutting engagement with a work-piece while the tool spins about its axis. The tool also orbits within or about a work piece, and in one orbit of the tool in a helical cutting path relative to the work piece a number of complete turns of the screw-thread are formed which is equal to the number of teeth of the insert in engagement with the work-piece. A secondary cutter carried on the thread cutting milling tool provides for formation of a pilot portion or counter bore on the work piece at an end of the screw thread. The pilot portion or counter bore provides for alignment of a threaded member which is to engage the screw thread. Also, the secondary cutter provides for formation of a blunt or scalloped full-thread starting end for the screw thread at the pilot portion. The blunt starting end for the screw thread is robust, resists damage, and resists cross threading.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a reamer (20) and a method for reaming, for enlarging a pre-existing hole in a workpiece by rotational and axial cutting. The reamer (20) includes a body (24) extending from a shank (22). The body (24) has a first flute (30) providing a first flute cutting edge (32) at a distal end (34) of the body (24) for imparting a first cutting operation to the workpiece. The body (24) has a helical flute (42) providing a helical flute cutting edge (46) in the body distal end (34), radially spaced apart from the first flute cutting edge (32) for imparting a helical cutting operation to the workpiece. The first flute and helical flute cutting edges (32, 46) concurrently and collectively perform the first and helical cutting operations to a sculpture surface of the workpiece, thereby improving tolerances of the cutting operations, varying loads imparted to the workpiece and the reamer (20), and reducing heat generated therebetween.
Abstract:
A system, apparatuses and methods for anchoring are provided. The system includes two-stage drill bit and a method of anchoring into a two-stage hole drilled by the drill bit. The apparatus of the instant invention includes a two-stage drill bit for drilling a pilot hole for a common nail into a material such as concrete, stone, masonry or cementuous or other materials. The method of the instant invention includes the steps of drilling a first hole within a material to which an object is to be anchored, drilling a second hole concentric with the first hole, and placing an anchor within the holes.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a coring drill and method for preparing a block for containing a receptacle assembly. The coring drill comprises a generally cylindrically-shaped corer hub having a longitudinal drilling axis. A generally cylindrically-shaped first corer has a first-corer axis coaxial with the longitudinal drilling axis and a first coring end having a first-coring diameter. The first-corer is removably attachable to the corer hub. A generally cylindrical-shaped second corer has an second-corer axis coaxial with the longitudinal drilling axis and a second coring end having a second coring diameter greater than the first coring diameter. The second-corer is attached to the corer hub. A generally cylindrical-shaped counter-borer has a counter-borer axis coaxial with the longitudinal drilling axis and a counter-boring end having a third coring diameter greater than the second coring diameter. The counter-borer is attached to the corer hub.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a spot and chamfer drill insert which can be utilized to create accurately located spots for subsequent drilling operations while simultaneously providing a chamfer for the finished hole. The present invention utilizes web thin clearance surfaces that are formed at web thin clearance angles, wherein the web thin clearance angles are oriented with respect to a projected plane normal to a plane through the web thin cutting edge and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the insert, wherein the projected plane is tangent to the web thin cutting edge.
Abstract:
A tool having a deployable cutting blade for making an undercut in a substrate is disclosed. The tool has a chamber positioned between its cutting tip and its tang. The cutting blade is movably mounted within the chamber. The blade is movable by sliding, pivoting or deflecting on a cantilever mounting and is movable between a retracted position within the chamber and an extended position projecting outwardly to engage and cut the substrate. Actuators for moving the blade include an eccentric cam mounted on a camshaft, a push rod and an inflatable balloon. Blades are also resiliently mounted and oriented so that their engagement with the substrate will cause them to retract into the chamber when the tool rotates in one direction and deploy into the extended position when the tool rotates in the opposite direction.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a new drilling tool useful in machining hydraulic port seals for fluid power ports. The drilling tool drills the port hole to size in a solid material for the minor thread diameter in combination with forming the port in a single operation. The drilling tool has a tool holder having a rotational axis, a first drilling insert having cutting surfaces on a first side and a mounting surface on a second side, at least one second drilling insert having a predetermined cutting surface portion and a mounting portion which is mounted on the holder at a location from the rotational axis of the holder. The at least one second drilling insert has first and second portions which engage and machine a work piece in a drilling operation to form a spot face and a seal form.
Abstract:
A drill bit is disclosed having a cutting portion having a plurality of axially aligned, graduated cutting members. Each of the members has cutting edges defined by a single slot extending therethrough. A tip portion at one end of the cutting portion defines at least a pair of cutouts therein, wherein one of the cutouts is aligned with the slot.
Abstract:
A twist drill or drill/chamfer tool that comprises a drill (1) with a shaft section (2) that is provided with a twisted flute, and a clamping ring (4) as the retainer of a facing cutter (5). Said clamping ring tubularly encloses the shaft section (2) or the drill shaft (30) and can be fixed thereon in different axial adjustable positions. The clamping ring (4) can be tensioned on the drill (1) by means of tension screws (6) that extend therethrough substantially radially to the axis (7) of the drill. The tension screws (6) impinge the surfaces of the twisted flutes (9, 10) which are enclosed by the clamping ring (4) indirectly with a clamping shoe (19, 20) that is interposed in a twisted flute (9, 10).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a solid drill bit for machine tools. Said first bit has a bit body (10) and two movable inserts (20,22) which are located a radial distance apart, each in an insert seat (16,18) of the bit body (10), in the area of a chip-conveying channel (12,14). The moveable inserts (20,22) have a rectangular or quadratic contour, project axially over the bit body (10) with their front-end main blades (30,34) and overlap each other radially in their working area. The radially outer movable insert (22) projects radially beyond the periphery of the bit body (10) with its outer tool corner (36) and with its adjoining secondary blade (38), which is perpendicular to the corresponding main blade (34). Starting from the tool corner (36), the longitudinal extension of the secondary blade (38) concerned is inclined in the direction of the bit body (10) at a defined setting angle of less than 3.2null. The secondary blade (38) has a guiding edge (44), with which it is slidingly supported against the wall (42) of the bore that is produced during the drilling process, at least over part of its length and under the influence of a radially outwardly oriented thrust force.
