ABSTRACT:
A tube-squaring tool and a clamping mechanism for clamping a workpiece by only a partial revolution of a cam ring to provide quick and easy clamping and unclamping of a workpiece with respect to the body of the tube-squaring tool to which the clamping mechanism is connected. The tube-squaring tool body mounts a motor centrally thereof to facilitate handling of the tube-squaring tool and the cutting action is performed by advancing a tool shaft relative to the body by operation of a handle pivotally mounted adjacent an end of the body of the tube-squaring tool.
The clamping mechanism has a cam ring movable between a first position to permit endwise insertion and removal of a tubular member and a second position to bind the tubular member in associated structure. A spring provides a certain amount of tolerance and yieldability to the clamping force applied by the cam ring.
