A drilling tool, in particular a reamer, for drilling out a workpiece core bore to a nominal diameter by means of a main blade formed on a drill body is disclosed. The main blade has a radially external cutting edge which extends along a drill-body longitudinal axis as far as a blade corner arranged at the drill tip, wherein during the drilling-out operation, the drilling tool is drivable into the workpiece core bore with a rotary movement and a feed movement. The drilling tool has at least one groove blade which is arranged so as to precede the blade corner of the main blade in the direction of rotation of the tool. During the drilling-out operation, the groove blade produces a groove in the inner wall of the core bore drilling, the blade corner of the main blade being guided in the groove with an at least reduced cutting load.

The invention relates to a tool for forming a drilled hole (B), comprising a shank that is rotatable or rotates about a tool axis (A), at least one first portion, which is rotatable or rotates about the tool axis (A), for producing and/or widening a drilled hole (B) by chip cutting, and a second portion, which rotates about the tool axis (A), for widening a drilled hole (B) without chip cutting, wherein the second portion is arranged behind the first portion in a direction of advance (V) of the tool. The invention additionally relates to a method for producing a drilled hole (B).

Apparatus, systems, and methods for forming a plurality of aligned holes from a plurality of misaligned holes. The apparatus includes a reamer with a constant diameter a first portion and a tapered second portion. A constant diameter pilot member is connected to the reamer. The taper may be configured to center the reamer and reduce an offset between the apparatus and a centerline of a virtual hole created by the misaligned holes. The constant diameter of the pilot member corresponds to the virtual hole and the constant diameter of the first portion of the reamer correspond to a cleanup hole configured to accept an oversize fastener and fully encompass the misaligned holes. If the pilot member cannot pass through the misaligned holes, an apparatus with a smaller diameter pilot member and a larger diameter reamer is needed to create a cleanup hole that fully encompasses the misaligned holes.

One aspect of the invention provides an injection-molded reamer including: an injection-molding parting line; and one or more shafts having a maximum cross-sectional dimension and a length-to-maximum-cross-sectional-dimension aspect ratio of 1:1 or greater. Each of the one or more shafts includes either: (A) one or more axial cross profiles including: a first bar having the maximum cross-sectional dimension; and a second bar having a cross-sectional dimension less than the maximum cross-section dimension, wherein the second bar is parallel to the injection-molding parting line; or (B) one or more axial elliptical profiles including: a major axis having the maximum cross-sectional dimension; and a minor axis having a cross-sectional dimension less than the maximum cross-section dimension, wherein the minor axis is parallel to the injection-molding parting line.

A machining tool forms a first relief surface, a valve seat surface, and a second relief surface by cutting the inner periphery of a valve seat blank having an opening. The machining tool is provided with: a tool body rotationally driven about an axis; a plurality of cutting tools rotating with the tool body; a cartridge mounted to the tool body so as to be capable of moving forward and backward along the axis; and a cam in contact with the base end surface of the cartridge and moving the cartridge forward and backward. At least one of the plurality of cutting tools is mounted to the cartridge.

A precision ammunition cartridge reaming device employs a body die having an interior cavity into which an ammunition cartridge is insertable through a first end. A reaming tool rotationally powered is insertable into the interior cavity through a second end. Rotation of the reaming tool trims the interior of a neck area of the ammunition to form a concentric surface with the exterior thereof. The distal edge of the cartridge may also be trimmed by the reaming tool to form each sequentially inserted cartridge to an equal length.
