Boring, Recessing And Multiple Turning Tools
A boring tool or boring-bar is, in itself, a very simple tool and yet, in its various applications, it may require considerable forethought in order to obtain a tool which will be exactly the right one for the job. In order to properly design any kind of a cutting tool, an intimate knowledge of the actual working conditions which are met with in using the tool is a valuable asset. There are a number of factors which influence the design of boring tools and there are also many types of machinery to which boring tools may be applied...

Points In Design Of Recessing Tools- 1. Rigidity is of the greatest importance and every precaution should be taken to insure as substantial a holder as possible. The tool itself should be of as great a section as the conditions and the ...
Recessing Tools For The Engine Lathe- The upper illustration in Fig. 1 shows a bushing A which is held by the outside in regular chuck jaws. This work is to be done on the engine lathe, and the recess is to be cut at the same setting. A f...
Recessing Tool For A Horizontal Turret Lathe- The work A shown in Fig. 2 is a steel forging of an automobile hub which is held in a three-jawed chuck by the flange B, the tapered portion entering the hole G in the chuck body. The inside of the hu...
Eccentric Recessing Tool For A Horizontal Turret Lathe- The work A shown in Fig. 3 is a steel flange which is to be recessed at B in order to provide the necessary clearance for the threaded portion G. In this instance the cut-off slide was used during the...
Piloted Recessing Tool For An Automobile Flywheel- A rather peculiar condition is shown in Fig. 4, the work A being an automobile flywheel having a semi-circular recess at B. Attention is called to the fact that this recess is put in at an angle of 45...
Double Recessing Bar For A Rear Axle Housing- The work A shown in Fig. 5 is a bronze rear axle housing for an automobile, and the recessing bar is only one of a group of tools used at the same setting of the work. Previous to this setting the fin...
Recessing Tool For An Automobile Bearing Retainer- The work shown at A in Fig. 6 is a malleable iron bearing retainer for an automobile. The casting is held by the outside in a three-jawed chuck; the machine on which the operations are performed is a ...
