ABSTRACT:
A gang tool assembly for drilling a precise pattern of holes in a workpiece or otherwise cutting surfaces and the like on such workpiece and including a mounting panel of cured settable material having a pattern of holes formed therein to receive supports for powered tool heads to detachably support the same to form a gang pattern of either drills or cutters for simultaneously drilling a pattern of holes in a workpiece or forming a surface thereon. The mounting panel is formed by mounting a pattern of pins upon a base mold plate, surrounding said plate with mold sidewalls, placing sleeves upon said pins, pouring a settable slurry of high fracture strength of uniform thickness around said pins, allowing the material to cure to rigid condition, and removing the molded rigid panel and sleeves in situ therein from said base mold plate and pins to provide a rigid supporting panel for a gang of powered tool heads having supports extending through said sleeves. Detection mechanism to indicate broken drills or cutters and/or malfunctioning power heads are associated with the gang tool system.
