Abstract
The invention relates to a stop for arrangement on a drilling, milling or countersinking tool for machining a work piece, wherein the work piece has a surface, and wherein the drilling, milling or countersinking tool has a cutting section. The stop comprises a contact surface, wherein the contact surface is arranged such that once a predetermined machining depth in the work piece is reached, the contact surface is seated against the surface, at least in some sections. A connecting element is provided, wherein the connecting element is arranged between the contact surface and the cutting section. The connecting element is suited to prevent a relative movement between the contact surface and the surface.

A stop for being arranged on a drilling, milling, or countersinking tool for machining a workpiece, wherein the workpiece has a workpiece surface, and wherein the drilling, milling, or countersinking tool comprises a cutting section, the stop comprising a contact surface and a connecting element,
- the stop configured such that when it is arranged on a drilling, milling, or countersinking tool and positioned for machining a workpiece:
- (1) the contact surface contacts the workpiece surface once a predetermined machining depth in the workpiece is reached;
- (2) the connecting element:
- (a) is in direct sliding contact with the cutting section, (b) positions the stop relative to the cutting section, and (c) reduces or prevents transmission of torque from the cutting section to the stop, so that friction between the contact surface and the workpiece surface can prevent relative movement between the contact surface and the workpiece surface;
- and
- (3) at least part of the contact surface is radially outside the connecting element relative to a center axis of the tool.
A countersinking arrangement for machining a workpiece, the countersinking arrangement comprising:
- a countersinking tool that comprises a cutting section for countersinking and/or deburring an opening of a bore in the workpiece;
- a stop that comprises a contact surface and a connecting element, the stop arranged on the countersinking tool;
- and
- a coupling section for separately connecting to a coupling element in order to transmit torque to the countersinking tool,
- the stop configured such that when the countersinking arrangement is positioned for machining a workpiece:
- the contact surface contacts a surface of the workpiece once a predetermined machining depth in the workpiece is reached;
- and
- the connecting element (a) is in direct sliding contact with the cutting section, (b) positions the stop relative to the cutting section and (c) reduces or prevents transmission of torque from the cutting section to the stop, so that friction between the contact surface and the surface of the workpiece can prevent relative movement between the contact surface and the surface of the workpiece;
- the coupling section on a side of the contact surface to which the contact surface faces.
A countersinking device for countersinking and/or deburring an opening of a through-bore in a workpiece, wherein the countersinking device comprises:
- a countersinking arrangement;
- and
- a coupling element,
- the countersinking arrangement comprising a cutting section, a stop, and a first coupling section,
- the stop comprising a contact surface and a connecting element,
- the countersinking device configured such that when it is positioned for machining a workpiece:
- the contact surface contacts a surface of the workpiece once a predetermined machining depth in the workpiece is reached,
- the connecting element (a) is in direct sliding contact with the cutting section,
- (b) positions the stop relative to the cutting section and (c) reduces or prevents transmission of torque from the cutting section to the stop, so that friction between the contact surface and the workpiece surface can prevent relative movement between the contact surface and the surface of the workpiece,
- the coupling element comprising a second coupling section, the first coupling section configured to be separably connected to the second coupling section,
- the first coupling section comprising a constriction or a groove,
- the second coupling section comprising a channel with a ball,
- the constriction or groove configured to receive the ball to lock the coupling element to the first coupling section.
