In one or more arrangements, a stationary cross cut system includes a base having an upper surface configured to receive a workpiece during a cutting operation. The system also includes first and second extendable support wings connected to the base. When extended, the first support wing supports a workpiece that extends past the first side of the base and the second support supports a workpiece that extends past the second side of the base. In some arrangements, the base includes first and second fences and is configured to receive the workpiece between the first and second fences. In some arrangements, the system also includes a first rail extending between the first fence and the second fence and a second rail extending between the first fence and the second fence. The first rail and second rail are configured to receive and guide a cutting tool during the cutting operation.

A wood working jig includes a fixed clamp plate positionable on a first side of a work piece and having a fixed top channel. The wood working jig includes a movable clamp plate positionable on a second side of the work piece opposite to the first side and having a movable top channel. The fixed and the movable clamp plates configured to be clamped to the work piece with wood clamps. The wood working jig includes a first and a second stop each engageable between the fixed and the movable top channels. The wood working jig includes a slide black (plate) having first and second guide blocks that each engage a selected one of the fixed and the movable top channels to guide translation of a router opening in the slide plate between the first and second stops.

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a low profile travelling pipe cutter is provided which is adapted to perform at least one of cutting and beveling a hollow vessel while traveling around the vessel using a cutting tool mounted thereon. The pipe cutter includes inner and outer carriages, a capstan assembly attached to the outer carriage to which a feed cable is attached, and rollers attached to the outer carriage to which a tension cable is attached. The force adjustment assembly changes the vertical position of the outer carriage relative to the inner carriage to compensate for the pipe cutter going inwardly and outwardly as it travels around a hollow vessel in order to maintain constant pressure caused by the lever tension interface. A guard assembly is provided for covering and uncovering the cutting tool during cutting.

Provided is a machining device for machining a rotor arranged in a turbine housing which includes two parts, thereby forming a joint, in situ while the upper housing half is removed. The machining device includes a main part that releasably secures the main part to the lower housing half in the region of the joint, at least one tool holder for receiving at least one machining tool which is secured on the main part directly or indirectly so as to be alignable relative to the main part, multiple telescopic stabilizing elements which can be locked into different longitudinal settings preferably in a continuous manner.

An improved machine tool is provided that is designed to remove material from an object that defines a machining surface, wherein the machine includes a removal device for removing material from the object, the removal device being a cutting and/or drilling tool; handling means designed to be placed in direct contact with the machining surface and to handle the machine tool and, therefore, the removal device, with respect to the object while the removal device removes material from the object, extraction means including at least one extraction duct defining an inlet section positioned close to the machining surface near the removal device when the machine tool is in use and configured so that it can be operated at least while the removal device removes material from the object.

A straight edge guide system is presented that makes clamping of a workpiece faster and easier. The straight edge guide system includes a guide member that extends a length from a first end to a second end. A clamp member is connected to the first end of the guide member and includes a compressible bias member therein. An adjustable stop member is connected to the guide member that moves between a locked position and a free position. When the adjustable stop member is in the free position, the adjustable stop member slides along the length of the guide member. When the straight edge guide system is placed on top of a workpiece, the workpiece is clamped under spring bias force between the clamp member and the stop member.

A portable cross cut system is presented that includes a main body having a reference edge configured to be aligned against an edge of a workpiece and an engagement member configured to be laid on top of the workpiece. A first guide edge extends along an outward edge of the main body and the engagement member and is configured to guide an edge of a baseplate of a cutting tool during a cutting operation. The main body includes a blade offset member having an arm that moves between an extended position and a retracted position. When the arm is extended the outward end of the arm indicates the position of a cut line so that the user can easily align the position of the portable cross cut system to easily and accurately make cuts in a workpiece.

A hand-held tool system comprises a hand-held tool and a positioning device matching the hand-held tool. The hand-held tool comprises an output shaft and a working head coupled to the output shaft. The positioning device comprises a detecting module configured to detect a positional feature and/or a movement feature of the positioning device and output a parameter indicative of the positional feature and/or the movement feature, the detecting module and the working head having a preset distance therebetween; a storage module configured at least to record reference position information about the working head; a control module configured to acquire real-time position information about the working head based on the parameter, the preset distance and the reference position information; and an output module configured to output the real-time position information in a way that can be perceived.

A process for manufacturing wall elements from nailable and/or stapleable materials, in which a wall element frame is positioned on a horizontal worktable. Wall panels are placed on the frame and the wall panels are fastened to the frame by nails and/or staples, which are driven by a compressed air setting device. A mobile robotin particular an autonomous mobile robothas a compressed air setting device and/or at least one milling unit and is movable on the surface formed by the wall panels. The robot motion is automatically controlled along the surface formed by the wall panels. At predetermined positions, the milling unit and/or the compressed air setting device is actuated to process the wall panels and/or to fasten them to the wall element frame.

A chamfering device includes: a main body including, at a proximal end side thereof, a shank to be attached to a main shaft of a machine tool, the main body including, at a distal end side thereof, a shaft portion extending in a rotational axis direction; a movable body whose proximal end portion is mounted to the shaft portion, the movable body being configured to rotate together with the shaft portion and be movable in the rotational axis direction; an urging member configured to urge the movable body in a direction toward the distal end of the main body; a chamfering tool mounted to a distal end portion of the movable body and configured to rotate together with the movable body to perform chamfering on an edge portion of a workpiece; and a following member mounted to the movable body such that a position of the following member relative to the movable body in the rotational axis direction is invariable and the following member is rotatable relative to the movable body, the following member being configured such that a distal end thereof comes into contact with a surface of the workpiece.
