Abstract
A ring joint machining tool for simultaneously machining the inner and outer surfaces of a V-groove, said tool having a rotating body member with a sliding tool block holding two tools and having cam means associated with said tool block whereby said tool block moves in a radial direction as the tool is rotated and urged into contact with a workpiece.
Claims6
A ring joint machining tool for machining the sides of a ring joint in a fixed workpiece comprising in combination:
- (a) a body member mounted for rotation at right angles to a workpiece,
- (b) a tool block mounted in sliding relationship in said tool block at a right angle to the axis of rotation,
- (c) a pair of tool holders on said tool block one mounted on each side of said body member, each holder having a cutting tool therein,
- (d) a cam body having an angling slot mounted for sliding axial movement in said body member,
- (e) a cam follower mounted on said tool block and extending into the slot of the cam body,
- (f) a stop plate mounted between said tool holders attached to said cam body,
- (g) means for biasing said cam body toward a workpiece,
- (h) means for rotating said body member and moving said body member toward a workpiece whereby,
- (i) said stop plate engages said workpiece moving said stop plate relative to said body member as said body member moves toward the workpiece, pushing on said cam body causing said tool block to move in a radial direction.
