Abstract

ABSTRACT

An end mill tool holder body and a tool suitable for use in a boring mill or any other metal-cutting machine. The tool has a round body with shank to suit the machine tool and flat, laterally-disposed surface at one end of the body terminating in a shoulder. An axial bore extends through the body and a draw bar in the bore has a pin which extends through an opening in a cutting insert and a nut on the other end of the draw bar clamps the cutting insert against the shoulder, holding it rigidly in position for milling or boring.
The inserts are of the throw-away type and are made of precision dimension so that the body and cutting insert can be used in a computerized operation.

DETAILED PESCRIPTION ~F THE DRAWINGS
. _ _ 31 Now, with more particular reference -to the drawings, 32 the combination body and insert is made up of the ge~erally .~, . , -107VV9~1 1 ¦cylindrical bod~ 10 which has insert 11 supportecl a-t one end. The 2 ¦body has a flattened surface 12 adjacent the end having the insert 3 ¦ and one face of the insert rests on -the flattened surface. The ¦ flattened surface terminates ad~acent the enlarged part of the bod ¦ 10 in a shoulder 13 which rests against an end of the insert 11.
6 ¦ The flattened surface is generally perpendicular to the shoulder a d 7 ¦ the insert rests against it.
8 ¦ The insert is generally rectangular in shape and has 9 ¦ two flat planar sides generally parallel to each other and a flat ¦ end that engages the shoulder 13. A longitudinally-extending bore ¦ 14 extends through the body and is offset from the center thereof 12 and the draw bar 15 is slidably received in the bore. The draw 13 bar 15 has a threaded end 16 which receives the nut 18. The end 1 has a pin 19 on it which extends perpendicular to the flat surface and extends up -through the hole 30 in the insert 11.
~6 Thus, when the nut 18 is tightened, the pin 19 draws the insert firmly against the shoulder 13 and holds it in place.
8 When a force is exerted on the cutting end 21 of the insert or on ~9 the edge 22, the insert will be urged more firmly into engagement With the shoulder and against the lateral shoulder 23.
21 The body 10 may be o~ a precise diameter and the length ~2 of the enlarged part lOB of the body may be of precise length as 23 well as the reduced size portion lOA, having the flattened surface 24 12, thereon. Thus, the tool can be used for computerized machines since inserts will be of predetermined size and will be held in 26 precise position by draw bar 15 and may be replaced without chang-2~ ing the setting of the machine 2~ In the embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figs.
29 5-11, another embodiment of the invention is shown wherein the ~ tool holder has a generally cylindrical body 110 which supports an 3~ insert 111 on one end. The insert has two Elat faces that are re-32 ceived in the slot 112 which has a first ~lat sur~Eace 112' and a ~` 1 ~7~9~3 ~¦ second flat surface 113' and a hottom shoulder 143. The body has 2 ¦ an a~ial bore 114 which receives the dxaw bar 115 which has a 3~ threaded end 116 that receives the nut 118. The draw bar 115 has ~¦ a slot 123 ~7hich receives the inser-t 111. Insert 111 has a notch ~ ¦between clamping shoulders 131 and 132. Thls no-tch receives the 6 ¦end of draw bar 115 adjacent hole 126 and holds the insert firmly 7 ¦against lateral movement. The pin 119 extends through the opening 8 ¦ 126 in the draw bar 115. The pin i~ ~f a length equivalent to the 9 ¦ diameter of the draw bar 115 and, when the draw bar is pulled into 0 ¦the bore 114, with the insert 111 in slot 123 and the pin 119 in 1~ ¦place, the pin is trapped in the bore 114 and cannot fall out of 12 ¦the insert.
13 ¦ The insert has a notch 114' and two parallel sides 120 a d 14 124 and side cutting edges 121 and 122, and end edges 127 and 128.
~ Draw bar 115 pulls insert 111 bac]c, clamping surfaces 131 and 132 16 of the insert against the shoulders 136 and 137 at either side of ~7 slot 112 in body 110. The end of the body is flattened at 134 ~8 and 135 forming surfaces disposed at approximately 45 to a side 19 113 of slot 112.
It will be seen that the surface 141 on the distal end 21 of insert5 incline outwardly from the center 142 of the end of the 2~ inse~t. This reverse lead at center makes possible the boring int 23 most solid materials~
24 Now, with xegard to the embodiment of the invention show in F.igs. 12 and 13, the tool has a body 210 with an insert 211 26 similar to the insert 11 shown in the embodiment of Figs. 5-11.
~7 The body has a slot 212 which receives the insert 211 and the ~ shoulder 231 and 232 rest on the ends of the slot. A wide hole 29 214 is formed in the body and the draw bar 215 is received in the hole 214. The draw bar has a slot similar to the slot 123 on 31 Fig. 11 which receives the pin 221 which li~ewise extends through 82 the hole 230 in the insert. The draw bar 215 has a V-shaped ~roov 33 ¦~ ~16 and the t screw 218 is threadably received in a threaded hol~¦

of f set from the center of the groove in the body and has a conical 2 point which enc~ages the side 240' of the groove 216 remote from the 3 insert 211 holding the insert 211 rigidly agains-t the shoulder of 4 -the body. This body like the o-thers shown, can be inserted into a
5 boring machine or any other metal cut-ting machine. The inser-t 211
6 has cutting edges 228 and 22~ similar to the cutting edges on the
7 insert shown in Figs. 8 and 9.
8 The foregoing specification sets forth the invention in
9 its preferred, practical forms but the structure shown is capable 0 of modification with a range of equival.ents without departing from the invention which is to be understood is broadly novel as is ~ comm surate with the appended claims.
