Abstract
Abstract Cutting apparatus such as broaching, turning and milling machines includes a reversible cutting tool having a bore therethrough. The tool is mounted on a tool holder having a locating post projecting from its front end into the tool bore. A screw passing through the tool holder intermediate its ends into a cutting block applies a force holding the parts assembled. A projection on the front end of the tool holder bears against an inwardly extending shoulder on the cutting block which may be provided by a groove in the block. The outer block surface and the bottom surface of the tool holder between the rear contact surfaces thereof and the shoulder are so shaped as to provide clearance therebetween. There is only frictional contact between the bottom surface at the rear end of the holder and the outer surface of the block.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
187 words
Cutting apparatus comprising a cutting block, a reversible cutting Tool having a bore extending therethrough, a tool holder for said cutting tool superimposed on the outer surface of said cutting block and projecting therefrom, a locating post projecting forwardly from the front end of said tool holder into said bore in the cutting tool for positioning the tool on said holder at an inclination to said outer surface, means detachably securing said tool holder to said tool block, said means applying a holding force at a location between the front and rear ends of said tool holder, said outer block surface and the surface of said tool holder being in only frictional contact at the rear end of said tool holder, an inwardly extending shoulder on said cutting block between the front end of said tool holder and the location of said holding force, and a projection on the front end of said tool holder bearing against said shoulder, said outer block surface and the surface of said tool holder between the rear contact surfaces thereof and said shoulder being so shaped as to provide clearance therebetween.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
187 words
