Abstract
A tool for machining workpieces, having at least one cutting edge which is fastened to a main body of the tool. A respective deburring device removes the burrs produced by each cutting edge during machining. The deburring device is supported at the main body near the cutting edge and is movable by an actuatable piston between a retracted storage position in the tool body and an extended active position out of the tool body for deburring after surface machining.
Claims23
A tool for machining a workpiece comprising:
- a rotatable main tool body;
- at least one cutting edge supported on the rotatable tool body and rotatable with the body for machining the workpiece;
- a deburring device at the main body of the tool and also reotatable with the body.
A tool for machining and deburring a workpiece, comprising:
- a main tool body having an operating end,
- at least one cutting edge disposed at the operating end of the tool body;
- a receptacle in the operating end of the tool body and a deburring tool receivable in the receptacle;
- a piston connected with the deburring tool for selectively moving the deburring tool from a retracted position in the tool body to an extended position out of the operating end of the tool body, whereby the same machining tool may be operated for machining a surface of a workpiece and for deburring the surface machined.
A method of machining workpieces using a tool having at least one cutting edge fastened to an operating end of a main body of the tool and further comprising a deburring tool associated with the cutting edges and disposed at the main body of the tool, the method comprising:
- first machining a surface of the workpiece with the cutting edges while retaining the deburring tool out of contact with the surface being machined;
- after machining of the workpiece surface, operating the deburring tool to contact the surface of the workpiece and then deburring the workpiece with the deburring tool supported at the main body of the tool.
