Abstract

A reaming apparatus for reaming pipe may include a body having a planar front surface, an annular groove defined in the planar front surface of the body and concentric with a center of the body, and a straight groove defined in the planar front surface of the body, radially aligned with the center of the body, and intersecting the annular groove. The straight groove may pass through the center of the body. The reaming apparatus may include a reaming blade having a planar front surface and at least one notch defined in the planar front surface of the reaming blade, the at least one notch being positioned on the reaming blade to substantially align with the annular groove when the reaming blade is disposed within the straight groove. The reaming apparatus can be removably mounted to a pulley of a bandsaw to ream pipe under the power of the bandsaw.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A reaming apparatus comprising:

a body having:
a planar front surface;
an annular groove defined in the planar front surface of the body, the annular groove being concentric with a center of the body and configured to receive an end of a pipe that is to be reamed;
a straight groove defined in the planar front surface of the body, the straight groove passing through the center of the body and intersecting the annular groove;
and
a planar back surface having a recessed area at the center of the body;
and
a through hole at the center of the body, the through hole having a first diameter at the planar front surface of the body and a second diameter at the recessed area of the planar back surface of the body, the second diameter being less than the first diameter, and the through hole being configured to mount the body to a pulley of a bandsaw using a fastener;
and
a reaming blade having a planar front surface and at least one v-shaped notch defined in the planar front surface of the reaming blade, the at least one v-shaped notch being positioned on the reaming blade to substantially align with the annular groove when the reaming blade is disposed within the straight groove.

7 more elements

A reaming apparatus comprising:

a body that is cylindrical in shape, the body having a planar back surface and a recessed area defined in the planar back surface of the body at a center of the body to accommodate mounting the reaming apparatus to a pulley of a bandsaw;
and a planar front surface;
a reaming blade secured to the body, the reaming blade being radially aligned with the center of the body and having multiple notches to ream pipes of different diameters.
