Abstract

An apparatus configured to convert a rotary machine to a non-rotary machine is provided. The apparatus may include a tool body that engages a rotary head of a CNC mill and a rotation restraint member that is fixed at a stationary position relative to a rotational axis of the rotary head. An arm of the tool body may engage the rotation restraint member to prevent rotation of the tool body. A cutting tool may be coupled to the tool body such that rotation thereof is also fixed. The arm of the tool body may include an elongated aperture that allows for slight pivoting of the tool body and the cutting tool to facilitate chip removal and cutting in opposing directions. Related methods are also provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to cutting tools, and more particularly to an apparatus configured to convert a rotating machine to a non-rotating machine, and related non-rotating tools. Background technique [0002] The components used to form various devices, such as computing devices, typically go through a number of manufacturing processes during their production. Additive manufacturing processes add materials to form components. For example, injection molding may be used to form the part. In contrast, a subtractive manufacturing process removes material from a workpiece or substrate to form a part. For example, a material may be machined from a substrate to form a component. In some embodiments, both additive and subtractive processes may be employed to form the part, depending on the particular desire for the final configuration of the part. [0003] Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining is one example of the type of subtractiv...
