A hole cutting tool (10) configured for cutting an accurately located and precisely shaped hole in a surface, such as a wall (W) of a finished residential or commercial building is disclosed. The tool (10) provides a frame assembly (12) which is self-adhering to the surface (W) and carries removable templates (14, 146-152) for handsfree use in cutting an accurately located and precisely shaped hole. The unique frame assembly (12) provides multiple selectable, pneumatically isolated suction chambers (50,52) that enable the self-adhesion function even when the frame assembly (12) is placed over existing holes in the surface (W). The suction chambers (50,52) are formed in part by a unique corrugated gasket (56) that enables the frame assembly (12) to self-adhere to porous surfaces. The removable template (14) enables dust particles created during the cutting process to be simultaneously vacuumed away regardless of the orientation of the template (14) relative to the frame assembly (12).

A surface of a workpiece, from which the burr is removed, is traced when a machining tool is pressed onto the surface of the workpiece under force control so as to find the positional data of the surface shape (S1). This positional data is corrected by an error caused by a bend of a robot (S2). The thus obtained positional data is compared with the target shape of the surface, from which the burr is removed, obtained from CAD data (S6, S10). A shift of the surface shape in the normal line direction is found (S7, S11). The burr generation start position, the burr generation end position and the height of the burr are found by the shift start position (S8), the shift end position and the shift size (S14). A machining program is made which is composed of a pass connecting the burr end position with the burr start position and also composed of a cutting pass for removing the burr, and the thus made machining program is executed (S16, S17). As the burr position is found and the burr is removed when the machining tool is moved to the burr position, the burr can be effectively removed. Due to the foregoing, it is possible to provide a finishing machine characterized in that useless burr removing actions can be reduced and, further, that the overcutting of a workpiece can be prevented.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for shaving the inside of barrels. In particular, the present invention relates to reconditioning used wine barrels by shaving the inside surface to a predetermined depth, ready for re-crozering, toasting, and re-use. Conventional shaving methods typically involve routing the internal surface by hand, but this technique is problematic in that it is a very slow process, the quality of the wood is often adversely affected, and there is no way of ensuring that the surface will be shaved to the same depth across the entire surface. Therefore, the resultant internal dimensions of the barrel are not reflective, relatively, of the original barrel surface. The apparatus of the present invention includes a scanning means adapted to scan the internal dimensions of the barrel, and a cutting means adapted to shave the internal surface to a predetermined depth relative to the scanned internal dimensions.
