Abstract
A tangential rolling attachment ( ) for a machine tool, broadly includes a body ( ); a pair of arms ( L, R) having their proximal marginal end portions ( L, R) pivotally mounted on the body and having distal marginal end portions ( L, R). The arms are biased to move in opposite angular directions such that the distal marginal end portions thereof will be urged to move away from one another. A roll ( L, R) is mounted on the distal marginal end portion of each arm for imparting an action to a workpiece when the attachment is moved to tangentially engage the workpiece. A wedge ( ) is mounted on the body for movement relative thereto in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the workpiece. An actuator ( ) mounted on the body for selectively moving the wedge relative to the body to vary the spacing between the axes of the rolls. The improved rolling head may also incorporate a quick-release mechanism ( L, R) for mounting a roll on the arm of the machine tool attachment.
