Abstract
The rotation support bar (2) of a grinding tool (1) has a bendable hinge section (4) at the intermediate section thereof, and has a balancer (5) on the grinding stone tip (3) side. The hinge section (4) comprises two or more opposed pairs of grooves (4a) which have circular arc-shaped bottom surfaces and which are provided in the outer peripheral surface of the rotation support bar (2) so as to extend in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotation support bar (2). The grooves (4a) are provided at equal angular intervals.
Claims4
A grinding tool having a columnar rotation support bar, and a grinding stone tip provided at a leading end of the rotation support bar, wherein
- the rotation support bar has a bendable hinge part at the intermediate portion thereof, and has a balancer which suppresses the occurrence of balance failure during rotation on the grinding stone tip side than the hinge part,
- the hinge part consists of two or more opposed pairs of grooves which have circular arc-shaped bottom surfaces and which are provided in the outer peripheral surface of the rotation support bar so as to extend in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the rotation support bar, and
- the respective grooves are provided at equiangular intervals as viewed from the axial direction of the rotation support bar.
