Abstract
A cutting cup for a sphere making machine. The cutting cup includes a cylindrical ring having an outer wall, an inner wall, a bottom wall, and a top wall, the top wall having at least one beveled facet angled downwardly from the outer wall to the inner wall. A cutting element is attached to each of the beveled facets. Each of the cutting elements has a cutting edge adapted to at least partially contact a workpiece to be formed into a sphere. A mounting member is attached to the bottom wall of the cylindrical ring for attaching the cutting cup to the spindle of a sphere making machine.

A cutting cup for a sphere making machine comprising:
- a cylindrical ring having an outer wall, an inner wall, a bottom wall, and a top wall, said top wall having a plurality of evenly spaced apart beveled facets having an angle sloping downwardly from said outer wall to said inner wall, adjacent facets being separated from each other by a raised triangular-shaped stop member;
- a cutting element attached to each of said beveled facets, each of said cutting elements having a cutting edge adapted to at least partially contact a workpiece to be formed into a sphere;
- and
- a mounting member for attaching the cutting cup to the spindle of a sphere making machine.

- a cutting element attached to each of said beveled facets, each of said cutting elements having a substantially rectangular cross-section, a front wall, a rear wall, a top, and bottom and ends, said front wall being concave and said rear wall being convex, the intersection of said front wall and top forming a cutting edge, each of said beveled facets of said ring having an angle to the horizontal such as to cause said cutting edge of said cutting element to at least partially contact said workpiece;
- and
- a mounting member for attaching the cutting cup to the spindle of a sphere making machine.
