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 quick grip pocket hole jig system is presented having a support section having a clamp support, an end stop and a back stop. A clamping assembly is connected to the support section having a clamping rod that extends through the clamp support. A drill guide carrier having a drill guide assembly is connected to the clamping rod on a forward side of the clamp support. A clamp body having a trigger and a release mechanism is connected to the clamping rod on a rearward side of the clamp support. The clamp body is a quick grip clamp body that facilitates quick gripping of a workpiece positioned within the support section. The clamping assembly includes a return spring and a release mechanism such that when the release mechanism is actuated the drill guide carrier and the drill guide assembly are automatically moved to a non-clamping position.

A cutting insert and a cutting tool assembly for cutting a workpiece. The cutting tool assembly includes a cutting insert having an upper surface that has a quadrilateral shape so as to include first to fourth insert corner portions, and a shim configured to support the insert. The insert includes an upper surface and a lower surface on which first to sixth inclined mounting portions are respectively formed. The shim simultaneously supports the first to third inclined mounting portions, or simultaneously supports the fourth to sixth inclined mounting portions.

A technique facilitates performance of an operation on a cylindrical item, such as a tube or shaft. The technique utilizes a split frame device having separable sections to enable mounting of the split frame device about the cylindrical item while, for example, the cylindrical item remains in place in an overall system. The split frame device may comprise first and second non-rotating split frame steady assemblies supported by linear rails. A rotating tool carrier assembly is movably mounted on the linear rails between the first and second non-rotating split frame steady assemblies. The rotating tool carrier assembly may be positioned about the cylindrical item such that a rotatable component may be rotated about the cylindrical item. At least one power source may be used to impart axial movement to the rotating tool carrier assembly and/or rotational movement to the rotatable component for performance of a desired operation.

A tool coupling extends along a longitudinal axis and has a first component, a second component, and a clamp for fastening the first component to the second component. The first component has a male clamping portion, the second component has a female clamping portion, and the clamp is located in an inner cavity of the second component. The male clamping portion has a first abutment region located axially rearward of a first plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the inner cavity has a second abutment region located axially forward of the first plane, and the first and second abutment regions face towards the first plane. In a fastened state, a clamp first engagement region of the clamp makes clamping contact with the male clamping portion's first abutment region, and a clamp second engagement region of the clamp makes clamping contact with the inner cavity's second abutment region.

A tool for chip removing machining includes a tool body having at least one insert seat that accommodates a cutting insert having a top and a bottom surface. The tool body secures the cutting insert in the insert seat by an attachment member, and the insert seat has a bottom surface and at least one side surface. The tool includes at least one assembling aid, which is provided at least at one insert seat and which includes a clamping section and a mounting section. The clamping section extends above the bottom surface of the insert seat for, when the cutting insert is accommodated in the insert seat, engaging the top surface of the cutting insert. The clamping section is biased towards the bottom surface of the insert seat and the mounting section is attached to the tool body. A kit includes the tool, a shim and the assembling aid.

A positioning clamp for spray-coating of a wheel trim ring includes a lower base plate, a circular bracket, an upper base plate, a plurality of guide rods, a plurality of sliding support parts and a distance adjusting mechanism. The distance adjusting mechanism is configured to drive the plurality of sliding support parts to approach a central position along the guide rods and to move away from the central position along the guide rods. According to the positioning clamp for spray-coating of the wheel trim ring, the position of each sliding support part can be adjusted to adapt to wheel trim rings of different sizes. Therefore, the positioning clamp for spray-coating of the wheel trim ring can replace a large number of positioning clamps of different sizes, and has the advantages of being simple in structure, stable and reliable in positioning, low in manufacturing cost and the like.
