Apparatus for cutting an internal bore

摘要

A trans-axial cuffing apparatus used for cutting an inner surface of an opening formed within an object and accessible from outside the object. The apparatus comprises an elongate portable frame (128). The frame (128) supports a cutting member (136) on the first side and a stabilizing member (144) on the second side. The stabilizing member (144) is adapted to secure the apparatus during operation of the cutting member (136). The apparatus may be used to cut a counter bore (76, fog.5), a longitudinal slot or groove at a desired depth, a helical slot or groove at a desired depth, a helical slot or groove at a desired depth and along a desired path within tire opening. Additionally, the apparatus is adapted to make any of the preceding cuts in a tapered or stepped manner within the opening of the object.
