ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an apparatus that holds and tilts a tool over a tilt range and substantially about a vertex. The apparatus includes a base having pivots defining a base line and a base pivot distance. The apparatus also includes first and second pivot arms coupled to the base pivots, and a tool holder having pivots coupled to the first and second pivot arms. The tool holder pivots defining a tool holder line having a pivot distance different than the base pivot distance. The tool holder is arranged for holding the machine tool. An intersection of the base line and a selected pivot arm defines a control angle, such that changing the control angle changes a tilt of the tool holder with respect to the base line, and correspondingly tilts a longitudinal axis of the tool substantially about a vertex.
