Abstract
A cutting tool includes a main body suitable to be mounted pivotably about an axis of rotation. A cutting head is carried by a carrying member. The carrying member is mounted displaceably in translation on the main body along an axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation. A counterweight is displaceably mounted in translation on the main body along an axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation. The cutting tool also includes an adjusting spindle for the simultaneous adjustment of the carrying member with respect to the counterweight, arranged on either side of the axis of rotation of the main body.
Claims7
A cutting tool comprising:
- a main body arranged to be mounted pivotably about an axis of rotation;
- a cutting head carried by a carrying member, the carrying member being mounted displaceably in translation on the main body along an axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation;
- a counterweight mounted displaceably in translation on the main body along the axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation;
- and
- an adjusting spindle arranged to provide simultaneous joint adjustment of the carrying member with respect to the counterweight, arranged on either side of the axis of rotation of the main body, wherein the adjusting spindle includes a first end that interacts with a first of the carrying member and the counterweight, a second end that interacts with a second of the carrying member and the counterweight, and an intermediate portion that interacts with an opening carried by the main body of the tool, the carrying member, the counterweight and the adjusting spindle being movably arranged, at least in part, in a bore of the main body oriented along the axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation, the adjusting spindle including at least one screw thread that cooperates, on the one hand, with the main body and, on the other hand, with at least one of two parts that are the carrying member and the counterweight.
A cutting device comprising:
- a rotary drive mechanism;
- and
- at least one cutting tool incorporated in the rotary drive mechanism, the at least one cutting tool including a main body arranged to be mounted pivotably about an axis of rotation, a cutting head carried by a carrying member, the carrying member being mounted displaceably in translation on the main body along an axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation, a counterweight mounted displaceably in translation on the main body along an axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation, and an adjusting spindle arranged to provide simultaneous joint adjustment of the carrying member with respect to the counterweight, arranged on either side of the axis of rotation of the main body, wherein the adjusting spindle includes a first end that interacts with a first of the carrying member and the counterweight, a second end that interacts with a second of the carrying member and the counterweight, and an intermediate portion that interacts with an opening carried by the main body of the tool, the carrying member, the counterweight and the adjusting spindle being arranged, at least in part, in a bore of the main body oriented along the axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation, the adjusting spindle including at least one screw thread that cooperates, on the one hand, with the main body and, on the other hand, with at least one of two parts that are the carrying member and the counterweight.
