Title: Improvements in Cutting Bevelled Teeth.
Inventor: BOISARD LOUIS
Filed: 1904-08-12
Granted: 1905-02-16
Abstract: 17,609. Boisard, L. March 29, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Milling.-Teeth are cut on bevel or other wheels by means of a revolving cutter of the type shown in Figs. 6 and 7. If it be required to cut n teeth on the cone f, Fig. 3, the helical cutter makes n revolutions while the cone makes one revolution. During the process, the cone receives a longitudinal motion which has the effect of increasing the pitch of the teeth towards the base. Towards the end of the operation, the teeth are rounded, by inclining the cutter, which is formed of less than one convolution to prevent the cutting away of the teeth.
