(under subclass 305) Apparatus consisting of means for cutting a spiral groove in the inner surface of the barrel of a small arms or ordnance device.
(1) Note. The tool of this subclass normally turns gradually about the axis of the work (usually through less than 360 deg.); however, it is considered to be a planing tool rather than a milling tool because it is driven axially rather than rotatably.
