Abstract

Abstract A TOOL FOR BURNISHING AND WORK HARDENING A BORE COMPRISING AN ELONGATED FEXIBLE BODY HAVING NARROW ROTATABLE ROLLERS POSITIONED AROUND THE PERIPHERY THEREOF. ONE OF SAID ROTATABLE ROLLERS IS ADJUSTABLE IN DIRECTIONS PERPENDICULAR TO THE AXIS OF SAID BODY SO THAT IT MAY BE LOCKED IN A POSITION AGAINST THE BORE CAUSING THE BODY TO DEFLECT AND THE OTHER ROLLERS TO CONTACT THE BORE. THE BORE TO BE BURNISHED IS ROTATED WHILE THE TOOL IS MOVED PROGRESSIVELY ALONG THE BORE. WHEN THE TOOL HAS PASSED THROUGH THE BORE THEREBY BURNISHING THE BORE, THE AD- JUSTABLE ROLLER IS RETRACTED ALLOWING THE TOOL TO BE REMOVED WITHOUT SCRATCHING THE BURNISHED SURFACE OF THE BORE.
