Abstract
Abstract A combined boring and milling tool has at least three triangularly shaped turnable cutter blades. The effective cutting edge of the first turnable cutter blade extends as bit (or drilling cutting edge) from the periphery of the shank at least to its axis. A second turnable cutter blade is offset 180° peripherally from the first and its effective cutting edge extends as cutting edge on the periphery of the shank parallel to the shank axis. A third turnable cutter blade is offset axially from the first so that its effective cutting edge extends as a cutting edge parallel to the shank axis. The two effective cutting edges of the second and third turnable cutter blades lie on the same flight circle and their working ranges overlap axially. The first and third turnable cutter blades have a common chip space.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
In a combined boring and milling tool, including a shank having cutting edges on its front end and on its periphery, the improvements comprised in that the cutting edges are respectively formed by one cutting edge each of turnable cutter blades each shaped like an equilateral triangle, a first said turnable cutter blade being located on the front end of the shank so that its effective cutting edge extends as a bit radially inward from the periphery of the shank toward the shank axis, overlaps said shank axis slightly and slopes slightly rearward as it extends radially inward, a second said turnable cutter blade offset 180° peripherally from the first turnable cutter blade and located on the front end of the shank so that its effective cutting edge extends as a cutter edge parallel to the shank axis and projects slightly beyond the periphery of the shank.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
A tool according to claim 1, wherein the corners of the turnable cutter blades are rounded and the axially front corner of the second turnable cutter blade projects axially slightly beyond the radially outer corner of the first turnable cutter blade.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
A tool according to claim 1, wherein the effective cutting edge of the second turnable cutter blade has a slightly larger radial spacing from the shank axis than the radially outer corner of the first turnable cutter blade.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
A tool according to claim 1, including further turnable cutter blades offset axially so that their respective active cutting edges extend as cutter edges parallel to the shank axis and are located on the same radius as the effective cutting edge of the second turnable cutter blade.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
A tool according to claim 4, wherein the third said turnable cutter blade is located on the same radial plane as the first turnable cutter blade.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
94 words
A tool according to claim 4, wherein the first and second turnable cutter blade are each followed by a chip channel, coiled in feed direction and direction of rotation and the further turnable cutter blades are arranged in the course of said chip channel so that the third turnable cutter blade is associated with the same chip channel as the first one, but is arranged offset therefrom axially and peripherally and the fourth turnable cutter blade is associated with the same chip channel as the second one, but is offset therefrom axially and peripherally.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
27 words
A tool according to claim 1, wherein the effective cutting edge of the first turnable cutter blade defines an angle of approximately 92°-95° with the shank axis.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
40 words
A tool according to claim 1, wherein the turnable cutter blades each have a center opening and are each secured on the shank by a holding screw, the head of which is arranged substantially sunk in the turnable cutter blade.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
31 words
A tool according to claim 1, wherein the turnable able cutter blades have a chip-guiding surface on each cutting edge extending all the way to the corners of the cutting blade.
