Claims
- 1. A method for machining the edges of a work piece of sheet or sheet-like configuration, using cutting elements disposed on rotating milling tools, comprising the steps of
- using a conical cutting tool having a jacket,
- disposing cutting elements on the conical jacket of said cutting tool,
- locating the cutting element which is closest to work piece in the plane of machining at a conical angle and in the range of about 150.degree. to about 180.degree.,
- and inclining the axis of said conical tool by a relatively small angle .delta. about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the work piece.
- 2. A method as defined by claim 1, and further comprising the step of providing the rotational movement of the conical tool and the feed movement of the work piece in the same direction.
- 3. A method as defined by claim 1, and further comprising the step of providing the rotational movement of the conical tool and the feed movement of the work piece in opposite directions.
- 4. An apparatus for machining a work piece of sheet or sheet-like configuration by means of cutting elements disposed on rotating milling tools, comprising a conical tool having a conical angle .alpha. in the range of about 150.degree. to about 180.degree. and including a jacket, cutting elements disposed on said jacket of said conical tool such that each cutting element engaging said work piece is located in the plane of machining, and the axis of said conial tool is inclined by a relatively small angle .delta. about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the work piece.
- 5. An apparatus as defined by claim 4, wherein two cone millers are disposed symmetrically with respect to the center of the work piece and are driven by a motor via a gear mechanism, means for pivoting the cone miller axes about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the work piece, and means for adjusting the distance between the two cone millers in accordance with the width of the work piece being machined.
- 6. An apparatus as defined by claim 5, and at least one slide which carries a cone miller with its drive means for adjusting the strip width.
