METHOD FOR FOLLOW-UP WORKING OF CURVILINEAR ELLIPTICAL SURFACES AND FOLLOW-UP CUTTER DEVICE FOR PERFORMING THE SAME Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B23B35/00 B23B29/00 

FIELD: working metals by cutting.

SUBSTANCE: lateral surfaces of shells are worked by means of two changeable cutting tools. Second tool is mounted in movable head of follow-up cutter device together with first tool but before supporting member in direction of working feed. Cutting edge is placed on level of supporting surface of follow-up device. Follow-up cutter device is mounted in cutter holder of machine tool rest in order to move said device, approach and force it to worked surface. After follow-up device is approached to opposite end of shell and it is spaced from it by given distance, working of shell is interrupted by turning off drive units; changeable cutting tool is removed and follow-up cutter device is returned to surface portion worked by removed tool. After drive units are turned on again, working of remaining portion of shell surface is completed by means of tool mounted before supporting member in direction of working feed.
