ABSTRACT:
A tool deployment apparatus for guarding the cutting regions of a plurality of rotary cutting tools against damage and wear, and to further enable the simultaneous release and retransmission of the rotary cutting tools into and from a conventional rotary cutting tool pallet. An apparatus housing includes individual tool isolation areas which serve to align and protect the rotary cutting tools housed therewithin, which cutting tools are distally spaced in corresponding relationship to the receiving portions of the conventional tool pallet. A reciprocating bar, which includes elliptically shaped apertures, alternatively releases and obstructs the shaft portions of the rotary cutting tools. The deployment apparatus enables simultaneous release and retransmission of a plurality of rotary cutting tools from their inverted positions within the housing, without exposure to inadvertent contact with retraction elements that facilitate the alternative insertion of the tool shafts into and out of the pallet apertures.
