A tool holder (100) comprising: an outside section (10) connected and fixed to a main shaft housing; a rotation input section (20) that is gripped by the main shaft and caused to rotate at a first rotation speed r1; a rotation output section (40) that has the rotational force from the rotation input section (20) transmitted thereto and rotates at a second rotation speed r2 that is different from the first rotation speed r1; a slider (60) that is moved in a first direction that intersects the rotational axis (Os) of the main shaft, as a result of the force from the rotation output section (40); a cutting edge (70) that is moved in the first direction by the slider (60) and is rotated by the rotation input section (20); and a detection mechanism (90) for detecting that the cutting edge (70) is at the origin position.

A cutting insert is provided, comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, a plurality of side surfaces spanning therebetween, and a cutting edge formed at an intersection of the side surface and a forwardly-disposed portion of the top the surface. It further comprises a cooling cavity projecting into the insert, a top end thereof being disposed further forwardly than an open bottom end thereof. The cooling cavity defines at least one molding axis such that a solid element having the shape of the cooling cavity and completely inserted therein may be retracted intact therefrom along a linear path parallel to the molding axis. A circumscribing portion is formed on the side surfaces encircling the cutting insert. The circumscribing portion is formed parallel to the molding axis and has a non-zero height along its entire extent. The cutting insert does not extend beyond the circumscribing portion.

A support assembly for a core drill uses an improved reinforcement. The reinforcement can include an extension extending between a center of the tool and a perimeter of the tool the extension can be a non-planar structure having a channel along a portion of the structure. The reinforcement can include a slanted element that can be associated with the extension, that can be formed monolithic with the extension, or otherwise combined with an extension. Multiple slanted elements can be used to form an extension. A top plate can be included for strengthening the reinforcement.

A rotating chuck includes a coolant groove arrangement integrally along a shank-receiving bore of the rotating chuck. The groove arrangement defines a flow path in fluid communication with front and rear bore ends. The groove arrangement includes one or more slanted groove portions opening out to, and being inwardly inclined towards, a front chuck end of the rotating chuck.

An applicator for applying cutting fluid is mounted in a CNC machine for pre-programmed, computer controlled use as a tool.

The invention relates to a core drill with an end portion (3) and a drill bit portion (1-2). The end portion and the drill bit portion are joinable in a watertight fashion with a sealing element (11). The sealing element (11) is provided in a space between the end portion and the drill bit portion, such that it is being compressed in a sealing fashion when the end portion and the drill bit portion are joined. The end portion and the drill bit portion are locked together with a joining element (8, 10) which achieves this locking effect when moves in the radial direction of the core drill. When the joining element moves in this direction, the end portion and the drill bit portion move towards each other. Thus the sealing element is being compressed while concurrently the end portion and the drill bit portion are joined together. This is further achieved without the joining element having to extend in the axial direction of the core drill. Typically, the joining element (8, 10) is constituted by a set screw.

A toolholder includes a pocket assembly having a nest section and a clamp section. An inverted nest is mounted in the nest section and includes an insert-receiving pocket for accommodating a cutting insert mounted therein. A clamping wedge is mounted in the clamp section in such a way that the cutting insert engages the clamping wedge. The inverted nest includes one or more coolant grooves that cooperate with the cutting insert for directing super critical carbon dioxide to a cutting tool/workpiece interface.

A drilling tool with: a shaft; a seat at one end of the shaft; a drill bit, which is arranged on the seat; and a clamping section, which is provided on the shaft and can interact with the drill bit. Also provided is a tensioning screw, which is screwed into the shaft and comprises an expanding section as well as a contact section. The expanding section interacts with the clamping section, and the contact section interacts with the drill bit.

The present invention concerns a sealing system for a tool holder of a fluid-assisted axial machining or milling machine, including:—at least first and second seals contributing to define a space for the flow of fluid to at least one inner channel of the tool, one of the seals being applied to the tool or an optional adapter carrying the tool and the other seal a) being applied to the tool or to the adapter carrying the tool or b) being applied to a surface spaced apart from the tool and rotating with same, with 0.3≦Do/Dj.sub.max for Do in the interval [1; 3] in mm and 0.5≦Do/Djmax for Do in the interval [3; 20] in mm, where Do is the diameter of the tool facing this other seal and Djmax is the internal diameter of this seal.

A high pressure coolant tube for receipt by a tool body that includes a coolant tube body with an annular flange adjacent to the exit body end. There is a threaded collar that has an exterior threaded surface. The threaded collar contains an interior collar bore comprising an enlarged diameter interior collar bore surface portion and a reduced diameter interior collar bore surface portion. There is an exit seal pocket defined by an exit-facing flange surface of the annular flange and a reduced diameter body section and the enlarged diameter interior collar bore surface portion. There is an entrance seal assembly pocket defined by an entrance-facing flange surface of the annular flange and a reduced diameter body section and the enlarged diameter interior collar bore surface portion. An exit seal is in the exit seal pocket. An entrance seal assembly is in the entrance seal assembly pocket wherein the entrance seal assembly comprises an entrance seal sandwiched by a pair of thermoplastic polyester elastomeric rings.
