Abstract
A sanding or grinding tool has a drum provided with an abrasive cylindrical outer wall. The depth guide has a curved outer surface composed of a number of arcuate segments each having a radius which extends outward from the centre of the guide and which is of a differing defined length. The depth guide is rotatable in increments to cause each segment, in turn, to face the work piece. Each facing segment functions to define the depth of material removed from the surface of the work piece.
Claims16
A tool for sanding or grinding having means for adjusting the depth of material removed from a surface of a work piece including:
- a housing;
- a drum rotatable relative to said housing and having an abrasive cylindrical outer wall;
- and a depth guide for limiting the depth of penetration of said outer wall into said surface.
A tool for sanding or grinding having means for adjusting the depth of material removed from a surface of a work piece including:
- a housing;
- a drum rotatable relative to said housing and having an abrasive cylindrical outer wall;
- and a depth guide for limiting the depth of penetration of said outer wall into said surface, said depth guide pivoting about an axis and having a work piece contacting surface composed of a plurality of segments spaced various distances apart from said axis, said depth guide being pivotal in increments to cause each said segment in turn, to face said work piece, each said facing segment serving to define the depth of material removed from the surface of said work piece.
A tool for sanding or grinding having means for adjusting the depth of material removed from a surface of a work piece including:
- a housing;
- a drum rotatable about an axis and having an abrasive cylindrical outer wall;
- and a depth guide for limiting the depth of penetration of said outer wall into said surface, said depth guide having an axis which lies on the continuation of said axis of rotation, said depth guide further having a curved outer work piece contacting surface composed of a plurality of arcuate segments each of which having a radius which extends outward from said axis of said depth guide, the radii of said segments being of differing defined lengths.
