Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A rotating tool includes a plurality of elongated members, a cutting edge extending from at least one of the elongated members. A support is attached to each of the elongated members for holding the elongated members at a distance relative to an axis of rotation of the tool. A guiding pad extends radially outwardly from the axis relative to at least one of the elongated members. The tool is particularly useful for reaming operations in which it can be useful to have a tool with a large diameter and/or length.
