Abstract
Abstract An adjustable mounting device for a cutting tool is described. The device is comprised of elements which are angularly adjustable about orthogonal axes which intersect at a common point. The tip of the cutting tool is mounted in the device to substantially coincide with the common point of intersection so that the position of the tip remains substantially stationary when angular adjustments are made.

An apparatus for supporting an object in a desired position which comprises: a base having an arcuate longitudinally extending inverted teeshaped groove, said arcuate inverted groove having a first axis of generation passing through a point on said object; an arcuate gear rack connected to said base and positioned adjacent to and parallel with said inverted groove, said arcuate gear rack having an axis of generation coincident with said axis of said inverted groove; a slide block slidably connected to said base; an arcuate inverted tee-shaped portion on said slide block positioned in said inverted groove for guiding said slide block for movement along said base in an arc about said first axis to a desired position about said first axis of generation, said arcuate inverted portion having an axis of generation coincident with said first axis; a pinion gear rotatably mounted on said slide block and in meshing engagement with said rack for moving said block along said inverted groove in an arc about said first axis; an arcuate upright tee-shaped portion on said slide block, said arcuate upright portion having a second axis of generation perpendicular to said first axis and passing through said point on said object; a holder block having an arcuate upright tee-shaped groove matable with said upright tee-shaped portion for slidably guiding said holder block for movement along said slide block in an arc about said second axis to a desired position about said second axis of generation, said arcuate upright groove having an axis of generation coincident with said second axis; a ferrule secured to said holder block for supporting said object and providing for rotation of said object into a desired position about a third axis passing through said point on said object and said third axis being perpendicular to said first and second axes; and means for locking said object in a desired position.
