A method and rivet apparatus to rivet a workpiece comprises an upper riveting portion and a lower riveting portion. The lower riveting portion comprising a fixed base, support member, and a pin assembly. The pin assembly comprises a center pin, a forming pin, a first biasing member, an outer shroud, and a second biasing member. The center pin pushes against a tail of a rivet to deform the tail of the rivet. The forming pin, fixedly coupled to the support member, pushes against the tail of the rivet to deform the tail of the rivet. The first biasing member, disposed below the center pin, biases the center pin through the forming pin and away from the support member. The outer shroud encircles the forming pin and the center pin. The second biasing member, disposed below the outer shroud, biases the outer shroud away from the support member.

A deburring mechanism with a rotatable countersink, a cylindrical shaft, a conical cutting contour and a cylindrical cutting edge configured to mount to a driven workstation shaft so that when a workpiece comes in contact with the cutting edge, burrs are removed from the workpiece. The deburring mechanism has a safety device attached to the shaft and adjacent the countersink. The safety device has a rotationally symmetric body with openings through which removed burrs move, a circular outer guard, a mounting portion with legs and a hexagonal mounting contour corresponding with an interior bore of the driven shaft and configured such that a driving connection of the countersink only occurs when the safety device is assembled and overlaps the transition area with a protective contour.

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.

A deburring tool includes: a body; and a cutting unit provided on an end portion of the body and including a blade part, where a first channel is provided inside the body, and when a fluid supplied from outside of the deburring tool through the first channel is injected into the cutting unit and presses the cutting unit, the cutting unit moves and a degree to which the blade part protrudes outwardly increases.

A method for machining a workpiece is provided, wherein drilling of the workpiece and subsequent countersinking of the bore, obtained by the drilling, in the workpiece are performed by means of a drilling/countersinking tool in a machining process, wherein the drilling/countersinking tool in the machining process while being axially rotated is subjected to an axial feed movement relative to the workpiece that reaches a counterbore terminal position, and wherein the axial feed movement is superimposed by an axial vibration, wherein, when reaching a predefined frequency lowering position of the axial feed movement by the drilling/countersinking tool, the frequency of the axial vibration is lowered to a final machining frequency, and the machining process is continued at the final machining frequency as the maximum frequency of the axial vibration until the counterbore terminal position is reached.

A tool and method are provided for forming a plurality of aligned full-sized holes from a plurality of preformed holes that are near full-size in respective stacked components of a stack-up overlapped in relation to each other. The tool includes a hole cutter having a hole cutter outer diameter, a countersink cutter with a hole widening section, and a pilot member having a pilot diameter smaller than the hole cutter outer diameter and substantially equal to the preformed hole diameter minus the maximum allowable offset distance, so that the hole cutter outer diameter is greater than or equal to the preformed hole diameter plus the maximum allowable offset distance. Other tools and methods for forming countersinks are also provided.

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of hole machining equipment, and provides a hole chamfering device including blades in bilateral symmetry and a blade posture adjusting assembly. The hole chamfering device not only can be fed from the front face of a hole to complete chamfering work on the front face of the hole, but also can solve the problem of chamfering the back face of the hole under the condition that a chamfering tool cannot be directly fed from the back face of the hole. The hole chamfering device can be fed from the front face of the hole to complete chamfering work on the front face and the back face of the hole, and meanwhile, can remove burrs in the hole, thereby meeting the machining requirement of conventional chamfering of the hole.

Disclosed is a deburring tool holder that may be used in combination with a computer controlled machine with a rotating spindle allowing for the provision of biasing forces on the deburring tool in both compression and tension, including a preset or predetermined amount of biasing force independent for compression versus tension.

A drill bit has a tool shank, a center axis, a first cutting region with at least one geometrically defined first cutting edge, the same having a cutting face arranged at a radial distance from the center axis of the drill bit. The first cutting edge forms a countersink angle with the center axis. The drill bit having a chip shaping stage functionally assigned to the first cutting edge formed by the cutting face of the first cutting edge and by a shoulder surface adjoining the cutting face and forming a shoulder angle with the same, wherein the shoulder angle is greater than 90°, and preferably greater than 100°. The cutting face runs at a radial rake angle with respect to an imaginary radial line which cuts the first cutting edge, the same functionally assigned to the cutting face. The radial rake angle is positive.
