ABSTRACT:
An apparatus can deliver a static cutting tool to a position located inside a workpiece to be machined. The cutting tool can be used for machining at least one surface inside of the workpiece. The cutting tool is operable in combination with an electronic controlled machine tool having at least one axially movable drive/support spindle. A cutting tool body can have at least one cutter and an aperture adapted for receiving the axially movable drive/support spindle of the electronic controlled machine tool. A movable carriage can be used for releasibly supporting the tool body and for transporting the tool body between a home position, where the tool body is spaced from coaxial alignment with the axially movable drive/support spindle of the electronic controlled machine tool, and a ready position, where the aperture of the tool body is in a coaxially aligned position with respect to the axially movable drive/support spindle of the electronic controlled machine tool. The carriage can be used for transferring support of the cutting tool body with respect to the movable drive/support spindle of the electronic controlled machine tool when the carriage is in the ready position.
