Abstract:
1. A tool module for a portable machining apparatus, the machining apparatus including a clamshell having a stationary portion configured to be supported by the workpiece and rotatably supporting a rotatable portion, the tool module comprising: at least one adjustment clamp supported by the rotatable portion of the clamshell, the at least one adjustment clamp having a clamp locking surface; a module base supported by the at least one adjustment clamp and defining a linear movement track that extends radially relative to the clamshell, the module base having a base locking surface, the base locking surface being configured to translate with respect to the clamp locking surface between a plurality of positions; and a tool slide configured to support a cutting tool and being movable along the linear movement track; wherein the at least one adjustment clamp is movable in an axial direction relative to the clamshell from a release position to a locking position and vice versa, in both the release position and the locking position the at least one adjustment clamp being connected to the rotatable portion of the clamshell, in the release position, the at least one adjustment clamp permitting the base locking surface and the clamp locking surface to translate relative to each other between the plurality of positions, and, in the locking position, the clamp locking surface engaging the base locking surface to inhibit the module base from moving relative to the at least one adjustment clamp.
