Abstract A tooling system allowing interchangeable use of different cutting tools for machine tools and comprehending a plurality of adapters, a plurality of intermediary members of different lengths and diameters, and a plurality of tool-holding heads, with each adapter being provided at one of its ends with means permitting mounting on the spindle of a machine tool and at its other end with a threaded boring for receiving a selected one of the intermediary members, and with a threaded portion of the intermediary member being threaded in the threaded portion of the adapter, and with intermediary members being provided each with a shoulder having an annular plane perpendicular to the axis of the tool and being in contact, when the intermediary member is threaded on the adapter, with a terminal axial face of the latter and with perfect coaxiality between adapter and intermediary member.
A tooling system for the realisation of interchangeable use of different cutting tools for machine tools, characterized by, a plurality of adapters, a plurality of intermediary members of different lengths and diameters, and a plurality of boring heads, each adapter being provided at one of its ends with means permitting mounting on the spindle of a machine tool and at its other end with a boring, each intermediary member being provided at one end with a portion engageable in the boring of a selected one of the adapters and at its opposite end with a boring, each boring head being provided at one end with a portion engageable in the boring of a selected one of the intermediary members, the boring heads each being provided with a shoulder annular plane face which is perpendicular to the axis of the tool and is in contact, when the boring head is engaged with the intermediary member, with the terminal axial face of the latter for insuring perfect coaxiality between the boring head and the intermediary member the selected ones of the adapters, intermediary members and boring heads when assembled providing a tool wherein the diameters of the adapter, intermediary members and boring head are ever decreasing in the direction axially from the adapter to the boring head.
