Abstract
A cutting tool for a power tool. The cutting tool can include a tool body having a first end and a second end and an axis extending therebetween. The second end of the tool body can be engageable with the power tool. A feed screw can be supported in the tool body and can extend outwardly beyond the first end to engage a workpiece. A cutting blade can be removably supported in the tool body for engaging the workpiece.
Claims18
A cutting tool for a power tool, the cutting tool comprising:
- a tool body having a first end and a second end and an axis extending therebetween, the second end being engageable with the power tool;
- a feed screw supported in the tool body and extending outwardly beyond the first end to engage a workpiece;
- and
- a cutting blade removably supported in the tool body substantially between the first and second ends, a portion of the cutting blade extending outwardly beyond the first end for engaging the workpiece,
- wherein the feed screw engages the cutting blade to secure the cutting blade within the tool body, the cutting blade being removable from the tool body when the feed screw disengages the cutting blade.
A method of assembling a cutting tool for a power tool, the method comprising:
- providing a tool body having a first end and a second end and an axis extending therebetween, the second end being engageable with the power tool;
- coupling a feed screw to the tool body such that the feed screw extends outwardly beyond the first end to engage a workpiece;
- positioning a cutting blade within the tool body substantially between the first and second ends, a portion of the cutting blade extending outwardly beyond the first end for engaging the workpiece;
- and
- engaging the cutting blade with the feed screw to secure the cutting blade within the tool body, the cutting blade being removable from the tool body when the feed screw disengages the cutting blade.
A cutting tool for a power tool, the cutting tool comprising:
- a tool body having a first end and a second end and an axis extending therebetween, the second end being engageable with the power tool;
- and
- a cutting blade removably supported in the tool body substantially between the first and second ends, the cutting blade including a first cutting edge supportable adjacent a first radially-outermost portion of the first end of the tool body and a second cutting edge extending radially across the first end of the tool body from the axis toward a second radially-outermost portion, the second radially-outermost portion being located diametrically opposite the first radially-outermost portion.
