Pipe end truing apparatus and method
10556271 · 2020-02-11 ·

A jig and tool are provided for rotating the tool around a pipe or pipeline, for truing the pipe end. An operator can easily installation the jig into the pipe end, with or without the cutting tool installed thereto. The tool can be manually or motor driven for rotation about the jig and the pipe end. The attachment of the tool to the jig enables alignment of the tool's cutting face with the pipe end, with angular and axial adjustment available for obtaining a profile suitable for welding to like pipe ends. In an embodiment, the tool can track the pipe diameter to retain alignment despite out-of-round dimensional variation. The tool is operated and rotated about the pipe end to remove material and, as necessary, the tool is adjusted into the pipe end and the rotation about the pipe end is repeated for incremental removal of material therefrom.

PIPE EDGE PREPARATION TOOL

A tool for performing work on a workpiece, such as a pipe, includes a mandrel assembly configured to secure to an interior portion of the pipe. The mandrel assembly includes an arm assembly configured to retain a cutting apparatus so as to be positioned at an outside portion of the pipe and to allow the cutting apparatus to revolve around the circumference of the pipe to perform work on the pipe. The mandrel assembly includes a hub and a plurality of jaws that allow it to secure to the interior of the pipe while the arm assembly props the cutting apparatus in a position to facilitate performing work on the pipe around the entire circumference of a section of the pipe. The engagement between the mandrel assembly and the pipe supports the weight of the tool, providing ease of use and improved control for pipe cutting operations.

APPARATUS FOR METAL-CUTTING MACHINING OF WEAR-AFFECTED BIT HOLDERS OF ROAD MILLING MACHINES, AND USE OF AN APPARATUS FOR OVERHAULING SUCH WEAR-AFFECTED BIT HOLDERS

An apparatus for metal-cutting machining of wear-affected bit-head-proximal end regions of bit holders of road milling machines encompasses: a rotary actuator having an output member rotating around an actuator rotation axis; at least one material-removing tool, rotatable around a tool rotation axis, which is coupled or couplable to the output member so as to rotate together; a positioning arbor, extending along an arbor axis, which is embodied for introduction into a bit receptacle opening of a bit holder and which comprises an abutment segment, located radially remotely from the arbor axis and facing away from the arbor axis in a direction having a radial component, which is embodied for abutment against an inner wall of the bit receptacle opening.

A material-removing region, populated with cutting edges, of the material-removing tool is arranged between the positioning arbor and the output member.

Transportable beveling tool

Beveling tools having a variety of features are described. The tools can utilize a combination of handles, a protective external frame, guide rollers that are positionally adjusted by swing arms with timing lobes, or by an alternative guide bar mounting system, a helical knurled drive roller, guide rollers that have a convex or crowned face, skewed guide rollers, a positive clutch assembly for governing force applied to the guide rollers, a hand crank assembly for moving the tool when mounted on a workpiece, position adjustment provisions for varying the position of a milling head, and indicators providing visual feedback to an operator.

MULTIFUNCTION PRIMER POCKET CORRECTION TOOL AND METHOD OF USING SAME
20240393092 · 2024-11-28 ·

A multifunction primer pocket correction tool that combines three cutting features in a single hand tool for use in ammunition reloading. The tool operates to cut the primer pocket depth, removes the military crimp and chamfers the leading edge of the flash hole in a single process. This combined tool includes a new technology in an external flash hole chamfer. This adds another level of safety and consistency with each casing, while still chamfering, and end milling the primer pocket, all while using the base of the casing as a backstop for consistent depth of cut.
