Described herein is a first method of forming a hole in a workpiece, having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The method includes forming a first hole, having a first diameter, in the workpiece by passing a first cutter through the workpiece from the first surface to the second surface. Additionally, the method includes forming a chamfer in the second surface of the workpiece concentric with the first hole using a second cutter. The chamfer has a second diameter larger than the first diameter. The method further includes forming a second hole, having a third diameter larger than the first diameter, in the workpiece concentric with the first hole by passing a third cutter through the workpiece from the first surface to the second surface.

Apparatus, systems, and methods for forming a plurality of aligned holes from a plurality of misaligned holes. The apparatus includes a reamer with a constant diameter a first portion and a tapered second portion. A constant diameter pilot member is connected to the reamer. The taper may be configured to center the reamer and reduce an offset between the apparatus and a centerline of a virtual hole created by the misaligned holes. The constant diameter of the pilot member corresponds to the virtual hole and the constant diameter of the first portion of the reamer correspond to a cleanup hole configured to accept an oversize fastener and fully encompass the misaligned holes. If the pilot member cannot pass through the misaligned holes, an apparatus with a smaller diameter pilot member and a larger diameter reamer is needed to create a cleanup hole that fully encompasses the misaligned holes.

A tool alignment device for mounting on a tool having a stop, especially on a drilling and/or countersinking tool having a single-piece tool shaft and a stop, for alignment of a drill hole and/or countersink to be introduced or for alignment of a finishing step in relation to a normal to the surface of a workpiece, comprising a main part and a through hole. Upon mechanical contact between the tool alignment device and the surface of the workpiece, a signaling device is actuated and emits alignment signal(s) during alignment in an alignment direction, and the stop of the tool can be accommodated in the main part, which comprises a guide device which establishes a connection between a stop sleeve of the stop and the tool alignment device such that the stop can be aligned in the alignment direction. Also, a drilling, milling and/or countersinking tool having a stop.

A method for enlarging each one of an initial pair of holes, which includes a first hole, extending through a first component, and a second hole, extending through a second component, includes inserting a pilot member, corresponding to a tolerance of misalignment of the first hole and the second hole of the initial pair of holes, such that pilot member passes through a clearance gap, defined by at least a portion of a boundary of first hole and at least a portion of a boundary of second hole with pilot member having a first central axis. The method also includes cutting a second pair of aligned holes through first and second components, respectively, with a cutter section, which has a second central axis.

A countersinking tool, comprising a tool shank and a tool head with multiple deburring or countersinking edges and an insertion pin. In some embodiments, the insertion pin features at least one reaming edge, on a radially outer side and extends over less than 33% of the overall length of the insertion pin, wherein the reaming edge can be inserted into an unfinished bore with a diameter, smaller than a nominal diameter of the bore, in a cutting fashion, wherein the reaming edge acts as a drill bit and is arranged on the insertion pin at a radius that corresponds to the radius of a nominal diameter of the bore, and wherein the insertion pin has the nominal diameter of the bore and can be guided in the bore without play. Also, a tool arrangement with a countersinking tool and to a method for producing a countersunk and/or deburred bore.

A cutter assembly for increasing a diameter of an initial pair of holes that includes a first hole defined through a first component and a second hole defined through a second component. The cutter assembly includes a pilot member having a pilot diameter corresponding to a tolerance of misalignment of the first hole and the second hole. Further included is a cutter section associated with the pilot member wherein the cutter section has a cutting diameter larger than the pilot diameter and the cutter section is configured to produce a second pair of aligned holes in the first and second components having a diameter dimension of that of the cutting diameter.
