A turning device with static bar includes a motor, a driving shaft and a sleeve, which defines a seat for temporarily accommodating at least one portion of the bar being machined. A machining tool is coupled directly or indirectly on the sleeve. A secondary shaft is interposed between the driving shaft and the sleeve and is coupled to the screw of a first assembly constituted by a first recirculating-ball screw and a respective first lead screw integral with the sleeve. The sleeve and first assembly are coaxial and the driving shaft axis is parallel to and separate from the common axis of the sleeve and first assembly.

The device includes an adjustment element coupled to a pusher shaft, which through the secondary shaft.

makes the screw translate and the assembly lead screw rotate, with consequent rotation of the sleeve and a movement in a radial direction of the tool.

A bottomed hole layer including a plurality of bottomed holes is formed on a surface layer of the amorphous structure layer. Each of the bottomed holes has a reverse-tapered shape, which has, between an opening portion and a bottom portion of each of the bottomed holes, a bulged portion having a larger inner circumference than the opening portion. An adhesive is injected into the bottomed holes. An outer circumferential surface of the bonded portion of each of the side brackets and an inner circumferential surface of an end portion of a center beam face toward each other with the adhesive interposed therebetween.

A pipe machining apparatus includes a frame, a tool support, an advancement device, and an advancement member. The tool support is coupled to and movable relative to the frame. The tool support is adapted to support a tool and move the tool in a direction toward a pipe at an increment. The advancement device includes an advancement projection fixedly attached to the frame. The advancement projection includes a contact-surface. The advancement member is coupled to the tool support. Upon the advancement member contacting the contact-surface of the advancement projection the advancement member is adapted to advance the tool towards the pipe at the increment. The contact-surface of the advancement projection is shaped to always be in a non-perpendicular contact position with the advancement member.

Portable lathes, portable lathe assembly kits, and associated methods. A portable lathe comprises two frame members, a plurality of guide bars, a tool assembly supported by the guide bars, and a feed assembly for translating the tool assembly along the guide bars. The feed assembly includes a first fixed linear feed element, a second fixed linear feed element, a driving rotary feed element, and a driven rotary feed element, and is configured such that rotating the driving rotary feed element translates the tool assembly along the guide bars. A portable lathe assembly kit comprises components of the portable lathe configured to be assembled together to install the portable lathe on a cylindrical workpiece. In some examples, a method of utilizing the portable lathe assembly kit comprises operatively receiving the cylindrical workpiece within the frame members by securing the cylindrical workpiece to a first lathe clamshell subassembly and operatively coupling a second lathe clamshell subassembly to the first lathe clamshell subassembly.

Pipe machining apparatuses and bearing assemblies are provided. In one aspect, a pipe machining apparatus includes a frame, a tool carrier, a first roller bearing and a second roller bearing. The tool carrier is coupled to and movable relative to the frame and defines a race therein. The first roller bearing includes a first shaft and a first roller rotatably coupled to the first shaft. The first roller is at least partially positioned in the race and is rotatable about a first roller bearing axis adapted to remain substantially fixed relative to the frame. The second roller bearing includes a second shaft and a second roller rotatably coupled to the second shaft. The second roller is at least partially positioned in the race and is rotatable about a second roller bearing axis. The second roller bearing is adjustable to move the second roller bearing axis relative to the frame.
