Shave tool and tool holder

摘要

An improved tool holder, such as a shave tool ( 20 ), broadly includes: an adapter plate ( 23 ) adapted to be mounted on the screw machine ( 21 ) for controlled movement toward and away from the workpiece (W); a tool block ( 24 ) slidably mounted on the adapter plate for relative movement relative thereto along a first axis (x-x); a slide body ( 25 ) mounted on the tool block for rotation relative thereto about a second axis (y-y), an adjustment mechanism ( 28 ) acting between the slide body and the tool block for controllably varying the angular position of the slide body relative to the tool block; and a head ( 26 ) slidably mounted on the slide body for movement relative thereto along a third axis (z-z). The head has a roller ( 22 ) and cutting tool (T) spaced from the roller.
