.~ Having tool-opposing, work-engaging surface {8}
88
.~.~ Tool having shiftable tool-axis
DEFINITION
Classification: 408/88
(under subclass 87) Device including a base for supporting the device and structure for allowing the device to be modified in such a way that the axis about which the tool turns during the cutting operation is relocated relative to the base.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
35, for means to carry a plurality of tools and to selectively present one or another of the tools to the work.
46, for means to reposition one of a plurality of simultaneously operational tools.
89+, for structure including means for shifting the work-contacting structure about an axis relative to the tool-axis where it is not clear if the tool-axis or the work-engaging structure is shifted.
91, for structure including means for shifting the work-contacting structure laterally relative to the tool-axis where it is not clear if the tool-axis or the work-engaging structure is shifted.
99+, for an axially moving tool loosely mounted and freely positionable in a work-contacting structure, the work-contacting structure serving to merely counteract the thrust of the tool against the work and support only that part of the tool-supporting structure transmitting thrust thereto.
