An end milling apparatus has an end mill and a support member. The end mill has a cutting portion and a non-cutting portion. The support member supports the non-cutting portion in at least one direction toward the periphery of the end mill. The width of the support member as measured in the direction orthogonal to the direction of the center axis of the end mill and to the direction in which the support member is located as viewed from the end mill is smaller than the outer diameter of the end mill.

A tool for removing burrs/flash from a work piece includes a linear body having a cutter/abrasive end and an opposite shank end. The shank end is adapted for attachment to a rotary power source. At least one bushing is secured to the linear body, the bushing allowing rotation of the tool there within while an outer portion of the bushing remains stationary.

A guide 2 for a burr cutter 34, the guide 2 comprising: a body portion 4 having first and second guide surfaces 12a, 12b which are spaced from one another to define a slot 14 between the first and second guide surfaces 12a, 12b; a bearing 32a, 32b for rotatably mounting the body portion 4 to a shank 38 of the burr cutter 34 with a cutting head 36 of the burr cutter 34 adjacent the slot 14; wherein the first and second guide surfaces 12a, 12b and the bearing 32a, 32b are positioned relative to one another such that the first and second guide surfaces 12a, 12b are tangential to the cutting head 36 of the burr cutter 34.

The invention relates to a cutting tool, in particular for cutting, drilling and/or milling a workpiece, with a base body having a central axis, a front end and a rear end, wherein the cutting tool comprises at least one functional element for guiding and/or machining the workpiece, wherein the cutting tool comprises a channel system for supplying the at least one functional element with a cooling lubricant, wherein the channel system comprises a distributor element configured separately from the base body, and wherein the channel system comprises at least one distributor channel aligned transversely to the central axis.

A cutting tool and cutter body assembly, including a disk-shaped cutter body and a plurality of support pads removably retained therein, the cutter body having an axis of rotation, two opposing end surfaces and a body peripheral surface extending therebetween. Each support pad intersects one of two annular-shaped planes equidistantly offset from opposite sides of a median plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation, and the cutter body intersects neither of the two annular-shaped planes. Each support pad is configured to make operative contact with a machined surface of a workpiece perpendicular to the axis of rotation. Each support pad has opposing upper and lower surfaces and a pad peripheral surface extending therebetween, the pad peripheral surface having an upper portion intersecting the upper surface, and the upper portion exhibiting N-fold rotational symmetry about a pad axis non-perpendicular to the lower surface.

End mill cutter having a plurality of cutting edges distributed over the circumference of the mill cutter, having a flank which is adjacent to the respective cutting edge in the circumferential direction and a supporting surface which adjoins the flank on that side which faces away from the cutting edge in the circumferential direction.
