O. K. TOOL CO.'S WHEEL TURNING TOOLS AND HOLDERS
Tool bits and holders designed primarily for the severe service met with in turning car wheels and tires, particularly after these parts have become worn and pounded in use, are being introduced to the trade by the O. K. Tool Co., Inc., Shelton, Conn. These tool bits are shank less, being retained in the holders by a double-taper construction, which is really self-locking in the direction of the feed; however, the usual rear lock arrangement is used in the holders.
The tool bits may be adjusted sidewise for wear in the direction of the feed by merely moving the lock to make the bit project further from the side of the holder. Since holes are not required in the holders for tool-bit shanks, the holders are strengthened considerably. The tool bits may easily be changed and reground in the separate hand-holder seen at the bottom of the illustration.
The tool bits are drop-forged of high-speed steel and heat-treated, while the holders are forged of chrome-nickel steel and also heat-treated. Although these tool bits and holders are primarily designed for wheel truing, they may be furnished in various shapes and sizes for other operations. |
