Abstract
A skiving tool is disclosed for removing a layer of hose or the like to prepare the hose for receipt of a fitting. The tool includes a mandrel which is proportioned to project into the end of a hose to laterally support the hose with respect to the tool while permitting relative rotation between the tool and the hose. The tool includes an adjustable tool post which supports a disc cutter and a chisel-type cutter which cooperate to cut away a layer of the hose as the tool is rotated around the axis of the hose. The adjustment of the cutting depth of the two cutters is accomplished by rotating the tool post with respect to a support arm. A torsion spring is connected between the support arm and tool post to bias the tool posts in one direction and to maintain engagement between the end of an adjusting screw and the surface on the tool post. Adjustment is obtained by loosening a lock nut to allow adjusting rotation of the tool post and then adjusting the screw in or out to the desired position. The spring maintains the contact with the surface and the screw so that a single adjustment of a single screw completes the adjusting operation. After the adjustment is completed, the nut is tightened to lock the tool in its adjusted position.
