Abstract
A low-cost tip dressing cutter causing no accumulation of swarf around a breaker is provided. A surface of a breaker 5 facing a cutting plate 4 corresponds to a recessed surface 52. The diameter of the recessed surface 52 gradually decreases with increasing distance from the outer periphery of the recessed surface 52 facing the cutting plate 4 in a direction opposite to the cutting plate 4. A through hole 51 is formed at the center of the breaker 5, A screw 6 inserted through the through hole 51 is screwed to a fastening hole 33a of a holder 3 to attach the cutting plate 4 to the breaker 5.
Claims4
A tip dressing cutter comprising:
- a rotator having a tip receiving portion configured to receive a distal end of an electrode tip for spot welding;
- a cutting plate configured to cut the distal end of the electrode tip when the rotator is turned with the cutting plate being attached to the rotator and with the distal end of the electrode tip being received by the tip receiving portion;
- and
- a breaker attached to a plane of the cutting plate and guiding a piece of swarf ejected by cutting the electrode tip by the cutting plate so that the piece of swarf is bent in a predetermined direction, wherein
- the breaker has
- a recessed surface facing the cutting plate and having a diameter decreasing with increasing distance from an outer periphery of the recessed surface facing the cutting plate in a direction opposite to the cutting plate, and
- a through hole through which a screw is insertable into the through hole and which opens to the recessed surface, and
- the breaker is configured to be attached to the cutting plate with the recessed surface being in close contact with the plane of the cutting plate, by screwing the screw inserted through the through hole into at least one of the rotator or the cutting plate.
