Abstract

A chamfering device comprising a housing in which a motor is housed, a guide base arranged at one end of this housing, a rotating shaft which is driven by the motor and whose front end is projected outside from the guide base, a chamfering blade fixed to the front end portion of the rotating shaft, partly projecting outside from the guide base, and a guide located further on the front side of the rotating shaft than the chamfering blade and attached to the front end of the rotating shaft. The guide can be contacted with the face adjacent to the chamfering portion of a workpiece.

Claims

1. A chamfering device comprising:

a housing containing a motor;

a rotating shaft extending along an axis and having first and second end portions connected to the motor;

a rectangular cutter in the form of a thin plate, for chamfering that corner portion of a workpiece which is defined by a curved surface and a flat surface, said cutter being fixed to the second end portion of said rotating shaft and having a chamfering blade inclined with respect to the axis of said rotating shaft;

a guide provided on the second end portion of said rotating shaft and located at a position farther from the first end portion of said rotating shaft than the position of the chamfering blade, said guide being rotatable on the curved surface of said corner portion of the workpiece;

a fixed boss in the form of a hollow cylinder having an axis, and which is fixed to said housing and through which said rotating shaft passes;

a slide boss in the form of a hollow cylinder having first and second end portions which are mounted on said fixed boss so as to be movable only in the axial direction of said fixed boss;

a plate-like guide base fixed to the second end portion of said slide boss and having a guide plane perpendicular to the axis of said rotating shaft, said guide plane being slidable on the flat surface of said corner portion of the workpiece; and

an adjusting ring, mounted on said fixed boss so as to be rotatable around the axis thereof, for moving said slide boss in its axial direction and adjusting the amount of projection of said chamfering blade with respect to a plane including said guide plane.

2. The device according to claim 1, wherein said adjusting ring and slide boss each have male and female threads engaging each other.

3. The device according to claim 2, wherein said guide rotates around said rotating shaft.

4. The device according to claim 1, wherein said handle portion has a holder for rotatably holding said adjusting ring, and graduations and a reference line are carved on outer circumferential faces of said adjusting ring and said holder to set the moving amount of the guide base.

5. The device according to claim 1, wherein said guide rotates around said rotating shaft.

6. The device according to claim 1, wherein said guide rotates around said rotating shaft.
