A tool holder includes a main body, a deformable receptacle for clamping a tool, and at least one blocking element which, in order to prevent axial migration of the tool out of the tool holder, is configured to engage in a corresponding counterpart element on the tool and is arranged at the receptacle. In order to allow particularly high concentricity of the tool holder and stable fastening of the clamped-in tool, and at the same time to ensure easy production, the receptacle has two spaced-apart clamping portions, between which the at least one blocking element is arranged.

A sensor module for a tool holder for a cutting tool, such that when the sensor module is arranged to the tool holder having a cutting tool connected thereto, an axial portion of the cutting tool is positionable in a predefined rest position with respect to the sensor module. The sensor module includes at least one position sensor, wherein, when the sensor module is arranged to the tool holder having a cutting tool connected thereto, the position sensor is located radially spaced from the axial portion of the cutting tool for measuring deflection of the cutting tool with respect to the rest position. The disclosure further relates to a tool holder, a cutting tool, a cutting assembly, and a method for measuring deflection of a cutting tool.

A chuck assembly for a rotary power tool includes a chuck body rotatable about a central axis. The chuck body has a plurality of slots, each oriented at an oblique angle relative to the central axis. The chuck assembly also includes a plurality of jaws, each movable along a respective one of the slots. The chuck assembly also includes a collar coupled to the plurality of jaws. The collar is selectively engageable with the chuck body such that, when engaged, the plurality of jaws are movable along the plurality of slots in response to rotation of the collar.

Adapters are configured to couple a driver with a threaded bit, such as a threaded aerospace bit. The adapter includes an elongate body having a threaded adapter portion and a shank portion formed in the body. The threaded adapter portion includes an annular shroud with a plurality of threads formed in an inward-facing surface of a wall thereof.

An accessory tool includes an adapter end, and a shank coupled to the adapter end and including a first length. The shank includes a tool engagement portion, and a first reduced portion disposed between the tool engagement portion and the adapter end. The first reduced portion has a second length. The shank additionally includes a second reduced portion formed in the tool engagement portion between the first reduced portion and an end of the shank. The second length is 2.5% to 15% of a total length of the accessory tool.

A rotary cutting tool comprises a tool body having an axis of rotation (L) and a cylindrical shank, which comprises at least one locking groove via which the cutting tool can be axially locked in a tool holder. The locking groove has an axial groove, which extends from an axial end on the receiving side in axial direction (A) to an axial stop, and a circumferential groove, which is laterally adjacent to the axial groove and extends away from the axial stop and the axial groove in circumferential direction (U) toward a rotation stop. The circumferential groove comprises a first end face and a second end face opposite to said first end face, both of which extend in a plane that is perpendicular to the axis of rotation (L). A tool assembly having such a rotary cutting tool and a tool holder having a cylindrical tool receptacle for the cutting tool is provided as well.

This disclosure relates to a cutting tool, having a main body, a cutting head, which is joined to the free end of the main body and is formed, by primary shaping, as a sintered piece provided with at least one cutting edge, and a cooling lubricant feed, which is led through the main body axially and which has a cooling lubricant distributor inserted into the cutting head for redirecting cooling lubricant into the region of the at least one cutting edge. According to this disclosure, a plurality of protruding spacers for keeping a gap clear with respect to the cooling lubricant distributor and/or the main body are sintered on a supporting surface of the cutting head as primary shaped elements.

A surgical cutting tool includes an elongated shaft and a cutting head. The shaft defines a coupling portion terminating at a proximal end of the shaft, a stem portion, and a distal portion. The stem portion defines a central axis. The coupling portion optionally defines a deflection surface positioned oblique with respect to the central axis and connected with a first driven surface and a second driven surface. Upon insertion into a drive chuck, the deflection surface promotes self-alignment of the cutting tool and the drive chuck.

A tool holder with a main part, a deformable receiving portion for clamping a tool, and at least one blocking element which is designed to engage into a corresponding counter element on the tool in order to prevent the tool from moving axially out of the tool holder. The at least one blocking element is integrally formed with the receiving portion. A clamping system having such a tool holder and a method for producing a receiving portion for such a tool holder are also described.

An improved adapter sleeve is submitted which has a shank for insertion into a toolholder for a machine tool, wherein a tool socket for holding a tool is formed in the shank, wherein a number of slots are disposed along the shank so that the shank can be compressed during clamping, wherein a cutting head is formed which is arranged on a front side (F) of the shank. In one embodiment, the cutting head has an insert seat for a cutting insert.
