Abstract
One preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a wood turning tool comprising a handle portion (1) and a cutting portion (2). The cutting portion comprises a blade (3) which has closed curve cutting edges. The tool comprises a deflector (14) for preventing the cutting portion from becoming blocked by wood shavings. The tool also comprises a blade cover (11) which can move across the blade (3) to regulate the cutting capacity of the tool. A threaded cylindrical member (12) can be manually operated to reversibly move the blade cover (11) across the blade (3).
Claims12
Cutting means, comprising a support portion, a blade portion, a deflecting portion, and a cover which can be positioned substantially over or across the blade portion to determine a cutting capacity of the cutting means, the blade portion being in the form of at least one closed curve or loop and having a cutting edge extending at least partially around the closed curve or loop, the deflecting portion being integral with and extending from the cover and being capable of extending at least partially into the closed curve or loop when the cutting means is in use, the cutting means being formed such that when it is used to cut an object the deflecting portion is suitable for deflecting cuttings from the object away from an area adjacent the blade portion so as to at least substantially prevent blockage of the blade portion by the cuttings.
Cutting means, comprising a support portion, a blade portion in the form of at least one closed curve or loop and having a cutting edge extending at least partially around the closed curve or loop, adjustment for regulating the cutting capacity of the blade portion, and a deflecting portion integral with the adjustment means and capable of extending from the adjustment means at least partially into the closed curve or loop, the cutting means being formed such that when it is used to cut an object the deflecting portion is able to deflect cuttings from the object away from an area adjacent the blade portion so as to at least substantially prevent blockage of the blade portion by the cuttings.
