TOOL ASSEMBLY WITH A HYDRAULIC CHIP-BREAKING FLUID SYSTEM

摘要

A tool assembly having a tool block (50) and a tool holder (12). The tool block has a fluid passage (92) having an outlet (93). A fluid passage (104) in the tool holder shank (14) has an inlet (102) including a shallow recess (99) configured to maintain fluid communication through a range of relative movement of the block and holder. The fluid passage terminates in a discharge orifice (114) to direct a fluid jet at the chip being removed from the workpiece.
