Abstract

A chamfering device incorporating a power tool for driving a rotary bur or the like provided with an elongated shaft and a cutting head, wherein the shaft is enclosed at a small clearance by a first, mainly tubular member, which, after mounting of the shaft with the said first member fitted thereto in the power tool, is held in position by a second, mainly tubular member, which is fixed to the power tool and is connected to the first member thereby arresting this in position, a third, mainly tubular member being provided over the second member, said third member being displaceable in the axial direction of the second member and lockable in occupied positions, said third member being an adjustable extension of the second member.

Claims

1. A chamfering device incorporating a power tool for driving a rotary bur or the like, with an elongated tool shaft, one end of which is connected to the power tool and the other end of which is connected to a slender end portion of a cutting head, which in the longitudinal direction of the shaft from its said other end successively increases in diameter towards a more coarse portion thereof, said device for chamfering an edge of a workpiece adjacent a side of said workpiece, characterized therein that the shaft is with small clearance enclosed by a first, substantially tubular member arranged to engage said side of said workpiece laterally, and which first member extends over the shaft, and which first member, when the shaft is in mounted position in a collet in the power tool, is held in position by a second, substantially tubular member affixed to the power tool and interconnected to the first member and thereby arresting the position thereof, and a third, substantially tubular member provided outside the second member and being displaceable in the axial direction of the second member and lockable in occupied positions, said third tubular member being provided as an extension element for the second member, which element is adjustable to desired position.

2. A chamfering device as claimed in claim 1, wherein two elongated members are connectably and detachably arranged to project radially on two diametrically opposed sides from the third member for engagement against a workpiece.

3. A chamfering device as claimed in claim 1, wherein a graduated scale is provided on the second member, which scale is readable against an end surface of the displaceable third member.

4. A chamfering device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first member has a portion of larger outer diameter than the largest diameter of the cutting head, and wherein the second member has an inner diameter thus chosen that with small allowance it encircles said portion of the first member, at least one locking member provided between the first and the second members for positional arresting of the members relative to each other.

5. A tool holder for a rotary chamfering tool having an elongated tool shaft connectable at one end to a driving device and having at its opposite end a cutting head for chamfering an edge of a workpiece adjacent a side of said workpiece, said to tool holder comprising in combination, a first, substantially tubular member extending coaxially to enclose said tool shaft, thus that the tool shaft is rotatable therein, said first tubular member having a surface for engaging the side of said workpiece, a second tubular member being coaxial with, enclosing and connected to said first tubular member along at least part of the extension thereof, a support member provided in connection to said cutting head and arranged to rest in use against a workpiece for giving the cutting head a correct work position, and which support member is connected to said second tubular member by means of adjustment means axially displaceable relative to the first tubular member.

6. A tool holder as claimed in claim 5, wherein the adjustment means is constituted by at least one exchangeable spacer member provided between a stop member axially arrested to the attachment of the tool holder in the driving device, and a member axially movable together with the support means relative to said first tubular member.

7. A tool holder as claimed in claim 6, wherein the spacer member is constituted by a two-piece spacer ring, the two halves of which are divided by means of a divisional line, comprising two helically sloping, saw-tooth-shaped partition surfaces interconnected by means of axially extending portions, and adapted by mutual angular turning relative to each other about a common axial centre line, to be brought to take up different axial lengths.
