Shave tool holder roller work support with quick-release pin and adjustments

摘要

The body section of the holder carries at one side a shaving tool bit and worm supporting roller, and is removably mounted at its opposite side on the slide section of the holder by a quick release pin, which is reciprocable in a bore in the slide section. A spring normally urges the inner end of the pin into an opening in the body section to prevent its removal from the slide section, but to permit limited floating movement of the body section relative to the slide section. The pin may be retracted manually to allow removal of the body section. The work supporting roller is also removably and adjustably mounted on the body section; and the slide section is adjustably supported on an adapter to be mounted thereby on a machine cross slide. Two sets of ball bearings are interposed between the body and slide sections to facilitate floating movement of the former on the latter.
