Patent ID: 8322953

Claim:
A laser weld cutter assembly, comprising: a) a right angle driver, comprising: i. a motor housing having a first portion oriented to define a motor axis and a second portion extending from said first portion and oriented along a handle axis generally perpendicular to said first portion; ii. a motor contained within said motor housing, said motor including a motor output shaft assembly rotatably mounted along said motor axis, the direction of rotation being clockwise as viewed through the motor housing toward the output shaft assembly; and, iii. a handle assembly connected to a distal end of said second portion and extending along said handle axis; b) a cutting guide assembly, comprising: i. a support element securely attached to a distal end of said first portion; ii. a base plate assembly pivotally attached to said support element; iii. a cutting depth adjustment screw engaged with said base plate assembly and said support element for adjusting the cutting depth; and, iv. a guard attached to said base plate assembly; c) a burr securely attached to said output shaft assembly, wherein during use the operator positions said output shaft assembly perpendicular to the direction of the weld to be cut, and moves the laser weld cutter assembly in a forward direction away from the operator, the rotation of said burr in said clockwise direction undercutting the material to be removed and providing ease in guiding the burr along the laser weld to be removed.
