A lightweight cutting tool, such as a reamer, includes a front cutting body, a front cutting ring, a center tube, a rear cutting ring and a rear machine connection member. An arm assembly of the front and rear cutting heads includes one or more leading arms, one or more trailing arms and a cutting head supported by the leading and trailing arms. The leading arms and the trailing arms curve in opposite directions. To reduce weight and moment of inertia of the reamer, a cross-sectional area of the leading arms and the trailing arms is largest proximate the sleeve member and is smallest proximate the cutting head. In addition, the front cutting body, the front and rear cutting rings and the center tube may be made by additive manufacturing. Fluid can be transported entirely through the reamer to the cutting insert/workpiece interface and the guide pad/workpiece interface.

A wall magnet anchor system is used to install magnetic anchors in wall material that can be used to magnetically hold an object to the wall, thereby avoiding the need to a conventional hook that is protrudes from the surface of the wall. The anchor can include a helical thread to hold the anchor in the wall. An installation tool includes a cutting features at one end for cutting a hole in a wall to receive an anchor, and an installation feature that engages the anchor an allows a user to drive the anchor, through rotation, into the hole cut by the cutting features.

A multifunction drill bit includes an outer shank including an outer lock head, an outer shank body, and an axial hole wherein spiral grooves are on the outer shank body; from a joining portion of the outer shank body and the outer lock head to the outer lock head, a threaded section, a deformable section, and a guide section are provided; each of the threaded and deformable sections include first external threads; the deformable section has outer curved grooves; a deformable concave surface is on an inner surface of the deformable section; and first internal threads are on the guide section; and an inner shank in the axial hole and including a top socket, an inner lock head, and an inner shank body. Second external threads are on an inner surface of the guide section corresponding to the first internal threads. A tip of the drill bit is replaceable.

A kind of sawtooth structure with reversed cutting function and its drill series are presented in this invention. This invention is suitable for drilling low-damage holes on carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP). The sawtooth structure is comprised of sawteeth and grooves located on the cutting edges of drill. And the sawtooth structure is helically arranged with a specific helix angle around the axis of the drill. It can be classified as the left-hand helix sawtooth structure and the right-hand helix sawtooth structure based on the helix angle value. The bottom edges of the left-hand helix sawtooth structure are the cutting edges, and the rake angles are positive; while the top edges of the right-hand helix sawtooth are the cutting edge with the positive rake angles. The sawtooth structure can be applied to various drilling tools, which proves to be universal. And it can effectively reduce delamination at both hole entrance and hole exit as well as burrs defects. The series of drilling tools include the double point angle drill, the twist drill and the stepped drill all of which have the sawtooth structure on the cutting edges. These series of drilling tools can achieve the CFRP holes with minimum drilling defects. The drilling performance of the tools is improved to a great extent, the tool life is extended and the costs are reduced.

A self-aligning counter bore cutting tool and method detachably attaches to a drill, and is rotatably driven by the drill, so as to cut a counter bore into a subfloor. The cutting tool includes an annular frame that has unique arm slots for retaining a plurality of cutting blades in a fixed position while rotating and cutting. A plurality of fastening blocks work to securely retain the blades in the arm slots. At least one oversized depth restriction frame extends beyond the blades to restrict the blades from cutting the counter bore beyond a predetermined depth. The frame includes a protruding shaft bushing that securely receives a drill chuck from the drill to create a secure, aligned coupling to the drill. The shaft bushing also aligns the blades with a mudsill fastening plate in the subfloor, so as to create a concentric counter bore at the appropriate depth in subfloor.

The setting tool (1) has a first part (2) for driving in a drop-in anchor and a second part (3), placeable on the first part along an axis (8), for drilling a drill hole for the drop-in anchor. The first part (2) has an insertion end (5) for a percussive portable power tool, a plunger (6) having an impact surface (12) and a piece (16) of a rotary coupling. The second part (3) has a slip-on sleeve (20), which coaxially surrounds the plunger (6) and bears against the impact surface (12) of the plunger (6), a counterpart (33) for the rotary coupling and a drill bit (23) permanently connected to the slip-on sleeve (20).
