Abstract:
A rotating tool includes a plurality of elongated members, a cutting edge extending from at least one of the elongated members. A support is attached to each of the elongated members for holding the elongated members at a distance relative to an axis of rotation of the tool. A guiding pad extends radially outwardly from the axis relative to at least one of the elongated members. The tool is particularly useful for reaming operations in which it can be useful to have a tool with a large diameter and/or length.
Abstract:
An adjustable drill having a drill body having a longitudinal axis, and a face surface including an aperture extending into the drill body. A directional feature adjacent the aperture extends toward an edge of the drill body, and a longitudinal gullet extends from the face surface along at least a portion of the drill body. A cartridge adjacent the face surface is selectively slidable along the directional feature, and a cutting face having an insert pocket positioned adjacent the edge of the drill body in which an insert is releasably affixed.

Abstract:
A modular back reamer to be used in subterranean drilling includes a drive stem connected to a drill string and configured to support a reamer body, the reamer body providing a plurality of receptacles, wherein the receptacles are configured to retain a cutting leg assembly at varying heights within a predetermined range, and a plurality of shims engaged within the receptacles to secure the cutting leg assemblies at a specified height within the predetermined range, wherein the cutting leg assembly is secured to the reamer body with at least one mechanical fastener.
Abstract:
An adjustable drill comprising a drill body having a longitudinal axis, comprising a face surface comprising an aperture extending into the drill body; a directional feature adjacent the aperture extending toward an edge of the drill body; a longitudinal gullet extending from the face surface along at least a portion of the drill body; a cartridge adjacent the face surface and selectively slidable along the directional feature comprising a slot along the directional feature; and a cutting face comprising an insert pocket positioned adjacent the edge of the drill body; a fastener through the slot into the aperture releasably affixing the cartridge to the drill body; and an insert releasably affixed in the insert pocket.
Abstract:
A rotary cutter for cutting holes of various sizes in ceiling tile in connection with the installation of light fixtures. The cutter includes an enclosure which functions as a jig for receiving and accurately positioning tile members prior to the cutting operation. The lower portion of this enclosure functions as a waste receptacle following the cutting operation. A drive shaft turns a pair of arms bearing two cutter knives for rotation within the structure thus cutting holes in the ceiling tile. The cutting blades are biased upwards for returning to a non-cutting position upon completion of the cutting operation. The cutting knives are radially adjustable along the arm on which they are mounted. A conventional electric drill is mounted to the other end of the drive shaft for imparting rotary motion to the blade arm.
Abstract:
Drilling head characterized in that it is essentially constituted by a body (1) mounted on a support (2) which is provided with a securement shank, cylindrical or of modular type or the like, or with a shank adaptable directly to machines, or with a shank with attachment to the Morse cone or American cone, or else to a threaded TR shank, or the like, to which it is rigidly secured by an assembly screw (3), by indexing structure (4) in all positions of the body (1) relative to the support (2), and by an adjustable support and displacement assembly (5) of the cutting tool (6) in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the body (1).
Abstract:
An indexable insert drill employing a plurality of inserts located substantially in a single radial plane characterized by a round innermost insert having its arcuate cutting edge extending across the axial center line of the drill. One or more supplemental inserts, preferably square in configuration and including chip interruption notches positioned for positive axial lead, continue the cutting action radially beyond the arcuate center cut of the round insert with an outermost corner adapted to finish cut the side wall diameter of the hole.
Abstract:
An improved boring head assembly that is designed for being easily and accurately adjusted to different standard sizes of boring diameters so that it can be accomplished by persons without having a great deal of skill; the device consisting of a spindle for insertion into a chuck of a machine, and an adaptor adjustably mountable on the end of the spindle so to be axially offset a particular amount which is accomplished by means of specifically dimensioned blocks interchangeably placed therebetween, the adaptor serving to hold a boring bar which on its end retains a flying cutter.
Abstract:
An adjusting collar arrangement for mounting on a boring bar or the like to effect fine adjustment of the boring bar. The collar has a part which is fixedly clamped to the boring bar and another part threaded thereon with a fine thread which abuts the support for the boring bar so that by loosening the boring bar in its support, the threaded part of the adjusting collar can be rotated and thereby effect fine axial adjustment of the boring bar.
