US 7,364,389 B2 · Deburring tool

Abstract

A deburring tool includes a blade having a cutting head portion, an anchor portion, and a retention spring. An arbor is adapted to removably mount the blade such that the head portion of the blade is adapted to be elevated a predetermined distance from the arbor in an unstressed condition of the blade. The blade is sufficiently resiliently yieldable such that the head portion of the blade can move inwardly relative to the arbor during deburring operations. A holder is adapted to mount the arbor and an adjustment member adapted to operatively engage the anchor portion of the blade. The anchor portion of the blade is adapted to move in response to adjustment of the adjustment member in a direction substantially opposite that of the head portion and flex to elevate the head portion relative to the arbor for deburring operations or recess the head portion relative to the arbor.

Dependent claims

A deburring tool adapted to be rotatably mounted in a chuck of a drive motor for performing deburring operations, said deburring tool comprising:

a blade having a cutting head portion defined at one end of said blade, an anchor portion defined at the other end of said blade, and a retention spring;
an arbor adapted to receive and removably mount said blade such that said head portion of said blade is adapted to be elevated a predetermined distance from said arbor in an unstressed condition of said blade, said blade being sufficiently resiliently yieldable such that said head portion thereof can move inwardly relative to said arbor during deburring operations;
and
a holder adapted to mount said arbor and an adjustment member supported within said holder and adapted to operatively engage said anchor portion of said blade;
said anchor portion of said blade adapted to move in response to adjustment of said adjustment member in a direction substantially opposite that of said head portion and flex to control the attitude of said head portion relative to said arbor by elevating said head portion relative to said arbor for deburring operations or recessing said head portion relative to said arbor.
