A cutting tool insert includes a cutting tip mounted into a first recess of an injection molded hard refractory compound insert having a second recess of preselected size and shape for locating the insert to a cutting tool. A preferred cutting tip is a diamond and a preferred hard refractory compound is a tungsten carbide with a cobalt binder.

Combined miter fence and box joint fixture

In order to enable both miters and box joints to be fabricated using the same piece of apparatus, a miter fence is provided with multiple slidable portions or segments which enable a ledge to be projected from a lower edge of one of the fence faces and for a gap, which is consistent with the spacing required between the male pins of a box joint, to be opened up. A tab is provided to enable a work piece to be placed in abutment therewith. This tab can be used as each slot is cut using a dado blade to set the appropriate spacing for the next slot. The ends of the fence are provided with end caps which have a 45.degree. angle. These caps can be removed and switched about so that the fence can be used on either the left and the right hand sides of the saw table.

A hole saw comprises a cup with two cutting teeth positioned on the open end of the cup. The two cutting teeth are substantially diametrically opposed to one another to provide a balanced cutting engagement of the media and are spaced apart by a chord length of between about 45 to about 180 degrees. A pair of secondary gullets are positioned in the cup proximate to a forward cutting edge of the two cutting teeth. The secondary gullets have a predetermined depth and shape along a longitudinal axis of the cup to suitably remove debris from the cup during a portion of the duration of the hole cut. A plurality of raker teeth may be positioned on the chords defining the spacing between the cutting teeth. The raker teeth are disposed below the cutting teeth, approximately 0.030 inches to engage and move cutting debris formed by the cutting teeth.

A drill bit is provided with a pair of spiral cutting blades having opposed cutting edges which come together at an angle to form a starting tip. Each of the spiral cutting blades includes a spiral flute which extends longitudinally thereof and is provided with a cutting face thereon. Each cutting edge is provided with an inner edge segment and an outer edge segment wherein the inner edge segment extends outwardly from the starting tip a preselected distance and terminates at an inwardly extending inner wall portion of a gullet. The inner wall portion of the gullet is arcuate in structure and terminates at a preselected inward position with an outer wall of the gullet. The outer wall of the gullet extends angularly outwardly terminating at the intersection with an outer segment of the cutting edge. The outer edge segment of the cutting edge is defined by the outward terminating end of the outer wall of the gullet and the outer most extremity of the cutting edge.

A template used in installing door locks. A side bracket is slidably received by a front bracket and the two brackets are aligned for the door width or thickness of the door to be drilled. The template permits properly related pilot holes to be drilled into the door edge using the side bracket and the door face using the front bracket.

A multiple saw blade adjustable dado cutter assembly. The cutter can be used with a table saw or a radial arm saw, for example, to make dado cuts in board lumber. A pair of cooperating cams, each connected to a saw blade, can be adjusted to make a dado cut of a desired width. If the desired dado width is wider than the two blade configuration can cut, a center cam attached to another blade can be inserted between the pair of cooperating cams. With the three blade configuration, the three cams cooperate to allow the three blades to be spaced for the desired width of cut. In both configurations and at any spacing width, the two or three blades employed remain in a generally parallel alignment and transverse to the axis of the arbor on which the assembly is secured. To permit the blades to function with this geometrical relationship and to be adjustable, not all of the blade teeth lie in the same plane. The sequentially operating three or more cam assembly has uses beyond dado cutting. Also, the blades can be made to mount directly onto a saw arbor with spacer washers taking the place of the cam assembly. For industrial applications, more than three blade configurations are envisioned.
