Portable machining apparatus tool module

A portable apparatus for machining a workpiece, comprising:

• a stationary portion configured to connect to and extend around the workpiece;
• a rotatable portion rotatably supported by the stationary portion and configured to extend around the workpiece;
• at least a first adjustment clamp supported by the rotatable portion;
• a module base supported by the first adjustment clamp and defining a linear movement slot;
• a tool slide configured to support a cutting tool for machining the workpiece, the tool slide being movable within the linear movement slot;
• and
• wherein the first adjustment clamp is movable from a release position to a locking position and vice versa when connected to the rotatable portion, in the release position the first adjustment clamp permitting the module base to translate relative thereto, and in the locking position the first adjustment clamp engaging the module base to inhibit the module base from moving relative thereto.

A tool module for a machining apparatus, the machining apparatus including a clamshell having a stationary portion rotatably supporting a rotatable portion, the tool module comprising:

• a module base supported by the rotatable portion of the clamshell and defining a linear movement slot;
• a tool slide configured to support a cutting tool and being movable within the linear movement slot, the tool slide defining a feed nut recess having an open face;
• a feed nut supported in the feed nut recess;
• a feed screw rotatably supported by the feed nut and being rotatable to translate the feed nut and the tool slide within the linear movement slot;
• and
• a feed nut bracket disposed proximate the feed nut and within the linear movement slot, the feed nut bracket extending across the open face of the feed nut recess to reinforce the tool slide.
