A rotary cutter for cutting damaged threads of a bolt includes a body rotatable about a rotating axis. The body includes a connecting end and an operative end. The body includes an inner periphery delimiting a cutting space extending along the rotating axis from the operative end towards but spaced from the connecting end. A width of the cutting space in a diametric direction perpendicular to the rotating axis gradually reduces from the operative end toward the connecting end to form a conic space. The body further includes at least one cutting blade disposed on the inner periphery. The at least one cutting blade includes a first cutting blade section and a second cutting blade section. The first cutting blade section is arcuate or rectilinear. The second cutting blade section is arcuate or rectilinear. The first and second cutting blade sections are not identical.

A rotary cutter for cutting damaged threads of a bolt includes a body rotatable about a rotating axis. The body includes an inner periphery delimiting a conic cutting space. The body further includes at least one cutting blade, an evasive groove, an evasive portion, a scrap discharge groove, a scrap guide groove and a scrap discharge orifice on the inner periphery delimiting the cutting space. The at least one cutting blade forms a ridge. The evasive groove and the scrap discharge groove are respectively located on a rear side and a front side of the at least one cutting blade along a circumferential direction of the inner periphery of the body. The scrap guide groove extends between the evasive groove and the scrap discharge orifice.

This disclosure provides a tube shaping tool for a torque mechanism to modify a tube end. The tube shaping tool can include a cup and an internal assembly. The internal tube assembly can include a stem and an internal body. The stem can be received by the torque mechanism and transmit torque generated from the torque mechanism to the components of the tube shaping tool. The tube shaping tool can roll form the outside diameter of the tube end using standard bearings and a flange bearing attached to the internal body. The flange bearing can also include a flange that can provide facing of the tube end.

An apparatus for selectively removing material from both an inner and outer circumference of an end of a tubular workpiece includes a cylindrical outer frame. A blade holder is affixed to the outer frame. The blade holder has a conical configuration with a base located adjacent a first rim of the outer frame and an apex located adjacent a second rim of the outer frame. At least one ID blade is carried by the blade holder and has an ID cutting edge oriented radially outward. At least one OD blade is carried by the blade holder and has an OD cutting edge oriented radially inward. A motive cap has a rim-coupling feature configured for selective engagement sequentially with the first and second rims of the outer frame, to selectively provide rotational motion to the outer frame and thus indirectly to the blade holder.

A rotary cutter for cutting damaged threads of a bolt includes a body rotatable about a rotating axis. The body includes a connecting end and an operative end. The body includes an inner periphery delimiting a cutting space extending along the rotating axis from the operative end towards but spaced from the connecting end. A width of the cutting space in a diametric direction perpendicular to the rotating axis gradually reduces from the operative end toward the connecting end to form a conic space. The body further includes at least one cutting blade and an evasive groove on the inner periphery. The evasive groove includes a first evasive face connected to the at least one cutting blade and extending in a direction parallel to the at least one cutting blade. Thus, portions of the rotary cutter other than the at least one cutting blade does not rub against the bolt.

A rotational cutting tool includes a connecting end for engaging with a driving tool and a cutting end for engaging with the work piece. The connecting end and the cutting end rotate about the rotation axis upon rotation of the rotational cutting tool. An inner periphery of the cutting end defines a receiving space for receiving the work piece. The receiving space has a conic surface which extends radially and obliquely with respect to the rotation axis. The receiving space includes a first ridge forming at least one cutting edge for trimming the workpiece and at least one slot allowing trimmed pieces from the workpiece to exit from the receiving space. The first cutting edge extends radially and obliquely with respect to the rotation axis. The first cutting edge extends curvedly and has a curved contour.

A rotary cutter for cutting damaged threads of a bolt includes a body rotatable about a rotating axis and having a connecting end and an operative end. A first cutting blade is disposed on an inner periphery of the body facing a cutting space extending along the rotating axis from the operative end towards but spaced from the connecting end. The body further includes a virtual projection plane perpendicular to the rotating axis. A first virtual plane passes through the first cutting blade and extends perpendicularly to the virtual projection plane. A virtual circle and a first virtual reference line are located on the virtual projection plane. The first virtual reference line intersects the rotating axis and passes through an intersection of the first virtual plane and the virtual circle. An angle between the first virtual reference line and the first virtual plane is between 5 and 40.
