Abstract
Adjustable feed mechanisms, machining assemblies including the same, and associated methods. An adjustable feed mechanism includes a plurality of cam segments and a cam lifter configured to pivot each cam segment about a corresponding cam pivot point. An adjustable feed mechanism additionally includes a cam follower and a feed output assembly. The cam follower moves along the cam segments sequentially and is pivotally coupled to the feed output assembly. The cam follower pivots through a cam activation angle when moving along a given cam segment to produce the feed output. A machining assembly includes a mount assembly, a rotary element, and an adjustable feed mechanism. A method of utilizing a machining assembly to machine a work piece includes engaging the work piece with a machining assembly, positioning the tool head with respect to the work surface of the work piece, and machining the work surface.
