Abstract
A ball lock assembly having a cutting head and a locking component including a lock rod carrying at least one locking member. A positioning assembly operatively connects to the lock rod so that one can move the lock rod between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position the locking member engages the cutting head to hold the cutting head to the locking component. In the unlocked position the locking member does not engage the cutting head so that the cutting head is not held to the locking component.
