ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for manipulating a tool along a spiral path into a circular or orbital path includes a first shaft and a second shaft in end-to-end relationship. The apparatus includes a slide device interconnecting the adjacent ends of the first and second shafts for allowing the second shaft to move tranversely of and in a generally radial direction away from the first shaft as the first shaft rotates about its own longitudinal axis. The tool to be manipulated is attached to the distal end of the second shaft. As the first shaft rotates about its own longitudinal axis, the second shaft moves radially away from the first shaft so that the second shaft, and tool attached thereto, follow an initial spiral path leading into an orbital path centered on the longitudinal axis of the first shaft.
