Abstract:

A skiving apparatus for simultaneously skiving the outer and inner surfaces of an end of reinforced hose. The apparatus comprises an outer diameter cutting tool, an internal skiving mandrel and a bracket for holding the outer diameter cutting tool and the internal skiving mandrel in a substantially perpendicular relation. The internal skiving mandrel has a nose for coaxially receiving a hose end thereover, spiral cutting threads and a stop collar. To achieve the desired simultaneous skiving effect, the internal skiving mandrel and the outer diameter cutting tool have a coincident cutting direction. Thus, when the hose is fed over the mandrel and the apparatus is rotated the simultaneous skiving of the inner and outer surfaces of the hose is accomplished.
