Abstract
Abstract A boring tool has a radially adjustable tool bit holder mounted on a head part connectable to an adaptor. A threaded stud for the connection between the head part and the adaptor has a thread arranged in each half, the two threads having different pitches or leads. An adjusting tool for the boring tool has a seat which mates with the threaded stud for rotating the stud relative to the thread arranged on the head part. The tool is marked with a scale in accordance with the formula S=SG2/SG1 (scale factor) in which SG1 is the lead of one thread G1 on the threaded stud and SG2 is the lead of the other thread G2 on the threaded stud.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
A boring tool comprising a head having a radially protruding cutting bit at one end and a threaded portion and a first stop face at the other end; an adaptor having a threaded portion and a second stop face at one end and means at the other end for connection to a rotatable machine member; a threaded connection member having first and second threaded portions having threads of different pitches, said first threaded portion being threadedly engageable with said threaded portion at said other end of said head and said second threaded portion of said connection member being threadedly engageable with said threaded portion of said adaptor so that said head and adaptor can be joined by said connection member with said stop faces abutting; and adjustable means for selectably limiting the extent of threaded engagement of said first threaded portion and said head to thereby select the angular position of said cutting bit relative to said adaptor when said head and adaptor are joined and said stop faces abut.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
170 words
A boring tool comprising a head having a radially protruding cutting bit at one end and a threaded portion and a first stop face at the other end; an adaptor having a threaded portion and a second stop face at one end and means at the other end for connection to a rotatable machine member; a threaded connection member having first and second threaded portions having threads of different pitches, said first threaded portion being threadedly engageable with said threaded portion at said other end of said head and said second threaded portion of said connection member being threadedly engageable with said threaded portion of said adaptor so that said head and adaptor can be joined by said connection member with said stop faces abutting; and adjustable means for selectably limiting the extent of threaded engagement of said first threaded portion and said head to thereby select the angular position of said cutting bit relative to said adaptor when said head and adaptor are joined and said stop faces abut.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A boring tool according to claim 1 wherein said first threaded portion has a smaller pitch than said second threaded portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
A boring tool according to claim 1 wherein said first and second threaded portions are external threads.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
A boring tool according to claim 1 wherein said first and second threaded portions are internal threads.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
A boring tool according to claim 1 wherein one of said first and second threaded portions is an internal thread and the other thereof is an external thread.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
43 words
A boring tool according to claim 1 wherein said adjustable means includes an internally threaded bore extending through said connection member and a clamping screw in said bore, said screw being rotatable to adjust the extent of protrusion thereof toward said boring head.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
75 words
A boring tool according to claim 1 and further comprising an adjustment tool having means engageable with said connection member for rotating said member relative to the thread on said head member, said tool being marked with a scale calibrated in accordance with the formula S=SG2/SG1 wherein S is a scale factor, SG1 is the pitch of said first threaded portion and SG2 is the pitch of the second threaded portion on said connection member.
