A control device for a machine tool for machining a workpiece while orbital movement is performed for causing an auto-rotating rotary tool to move in a circular manner, the control device comprising: a reading and interpreting unit for reading a machining program containing input information; and a computing unit for combining a first tool pathway along which a rotary tool travels and which has been set on the basis of input information about the travel of the rotary tool, and a second tool pathway along which the rotary tool orbits and which has been set on the basis of input information about the orbital movement, and for setting a third tool pathway along which the rotary tool travels in a machining shape while moving in an orbital manner.

A processing system includes a drilling tool and a chamfering tool that process a workpiece. The workpiece includes a first plate that includes: a first hole penetrating a first front surface and a first back surface; an opening edge constituting the first hole, a front-side first opening edge being provided in the first front surface; a back-side first opening edge constituting the first hole, the back-side first opening edge being provided in the first back surface; and a first chamfered portion provided on at least one of the front-side first opening edge and the back-side first opening edge, and the workpiece includes a second plate that includes: a second hole including a back-side second opening edge provided in at least a second back surface; and a back-side second chamfered portion provided at the back-side second opening edge, an axis of the first hole and an axis of the second hole are coaxial, and the at least one of the first chamfered portion and the back-side second chamfered portion have a cutting mark.

Described herein is an orbital drilling system that includes an orbital drilling machine and a cutter. The orbital drilling machine includes a spindle and an eccentric rotation mechanism. The spindle is rotatable about a cutter axis. The eccentric rotation mechanism is coupled to the spindle and configured to orbit the spindle about an orbital axis, offset from the cutter axis. The cutter is co-rotatably coupled to the spindle and comprises a plurality of cutting edges, collectively defining a cutting diameter of the cutter. The cutting diameter of the cutter is adjustable.

One aspect of the disclosure relates to a cutting tool for forming a final opening in a stack that includes at least two layers and a pilot opening having a pilot-opening dimension and extending through at least one of the at least two layers. The cutting tool includes a shank. The cutting tool also includes a first portion including at least one of a first coating or the first coating and a second coating, wherein the first coating at least partially covers the first portion. The cutting tool also includes a second portion between the shank and the first portion, wherein the second portion includes the second coating, and wherein the second coating at least partially covers the second portion.

A milling and boring tool with a tool shaft which comprises a center axis, at least one geometrically defined rough cutter and at least one geometrically defined finishing cutter, and the at least one rough cutter and the at least one finishing cutter respectively comprise a chip groove. The milling and boring tool is characterized in that the chip groove of the at least one finish machining cutter has an opposite twist than the chip groove of the at least one rough cutter.

A milling tool is disclosed. The milling tool may include an elongated body having a longitudinal axis and a plurality of cutting inserts. The cutting inserts may each have a cutting edge and a cutting radius and be coupled to the body and spaced along the longitudinal axis. One or more of the plurality of cutting inserts may be adjustable (e.g., mechanically adjustable) between first and second cutting radii. A difference between the first and second cutting radii may be at least 10 m. The milling tool may include cutting inserts having a plurality of different cutting radii. The milling tool may be configured to have a length that spans an entire height of an engine bore. The cutting inserts having different radii may compensate for dimensional errors in an engine bore diameter that occur when milling a deep pocket.

Milling tools configured to increase surface roughness are disclosed. The tool may include an elongated body having a longitudinal axis and a plurality of cutting inserts coupled to the body and spaced along the longitudinal axis, each cutting insert having a cutting edge. In one embodiment, the cutting edges may have an orientation that is oblique to the longitudinal axis of the elongated body. Each cutting edge may have a first end having a greater cutting radius than a second end. The cutting edges may be offset from the longitudinal axis of the elongated body by an offset angle. In another embodiment, the cutting edges may have a textured or rough surface profile. For example, the cutting edges may have a mean roughness (Rz) of at least 7.5 m. The milling tools may increase the surface roughness of a milled engine bore to facilitate a subsequent rough honing process.
