    摘要: A radial grinding tool for a machining center utilizing through-spindle coolant is disclosed and includes a main body having a central longitudinal axis, a spindle extending along the central longitudinal axis, a disc-shaped wheel member located at an end of the spindle and including a working surface at a periphery of the wheel member, and a passageway extending through the main body configured to accommodate a flow of coolant. The tool includes an impeller attached at a lower side of the wheel member and having a plurality of blades that are configured to impart a force against the coolant to reshape the flow of coolant into a generally flat stream and redirect and drive the coolant radially outward from the central longitudinal axis to the working surface.

    摘要: A forming tool for forming leading edges of turbine blades is disclosed. In various embodiments, a forming tool may comprise a cylindrically-shaped body having a notch around the circumference of the cylindrically-shaped body. The notch may be positioned perpendicularly to a center axis of the cylindrically-shaped body. Further, the notch may have a notch contour with an upper notch contour and a lower notch contour, and where the notch contour is a relief of a selected turbine blade leading edge. The forming tool may be a grinding tool or a cutting tool. Moreover, a forming process may comprise forming, by a forming tool, a first portion of a turbine blade leading edge with a rough edge result, and forming, by a milling cutter, a second portion of the turbine blade leading edge with a rough edge result.
