Tool bracket, deburring tool with tool bracket, and deburring method
Provided is a tool bracket capable of tilting a spindle body even when a moment load acting on the spindle body is relatively small. A tool bracket includes: a housing including a cylinder chamber extending along a cylinder axis; a piston urged by compressible fluid toward distal end to reciprocate in the cylinder chamber and having an action portion disposed at distal end; and a tilting body having a tilt axis and disposed in the cylinder chamber in a tiltable manner with respect to the cylinder axis, and includes a centering portion disposed at basal end to abut the action portion, the centering portion presses the piston with the cylinder axis as an action line when the tilt axis is tilted from the cylinder axis.
