The invention relates to a method for assembling a tool system module, having a main body (G3C), which comprises a standard shank, such as a hollow-shank-taper (HSK) shank, and having a functional section (F5Y), such as a tool holder. In order to produce such tool system modules particularly economically, the functional section (F5Y) is paired with a main body (G3C) that is produced on separate production line, which is independent of the design or the production line of the functional section.

A method for manufacturing a cutting tool according to one embodiment is a method for manufacturing a cutting tool, the cutting tool including a base material and a diamond single crystal material fixed to the base material, the diamond single crystal material having a rake face, a flank face continuous with the rake face, and a cutting edge formed by a ridgeline serving as a boundary between the rake face and the flank face. The method for manufacturing a cutting tool according to one form of the present disclosure includes a flank face irradiation step of applying a laser to the diamond single crystal material along the cutting edge from a side of the flank face. The laser has a pulse width of 110.sup.12 seconds or less and a peak output of less than 1 W in the flank face irradiation step.

A device for ascertaining the orientation of a drill relative to a plane, the device being capable of being connected to the drill, the device having a laser distance measuring unit by which, from a prespecified position relative to the plane, a first distance to a first point in the plane and a second distance to a second point in the plane can be measured, and having an evaluation unit that is configured such that on the basis of the first distance and the second distance the orientation of the device relative to the plane can be ascertained.

A laser-transmitting machining tool is disclosed. The laser-transmitting machining tool has a plurality of faces including an entrance face, a rake face, a flank face connected to the rake face, a rake side face extending between the entrance face and the rake face, and a flank side face extending between the entrance face and the flank face. The connection of the rake face to the flank face defines a cutting edge. The rake face extends away from the rake side face to define a rake angle. The entrance face is configured to receive and refract a laser beam to the rake face, the flank face, and the cutting edge for causing the laser beam to refract into and heat the workpiece at a compression region extending proximate at least the rake face and a tensile region extending proximate the flank face. A system for machining a workpiece is disclosed. A method for machining a workpiece is also disclosed.

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 drill press laser alignment device includes a rigid plate that is attachable to the column of the drill press above the table. A plurality of cylindrical support posts carried by the plate engage the column to fixedly orient the plate relative to the table. A pair of laser modules mounted rotatably to the plate produce respective planar laser beams that are projected perpendicularly against the table such that the beam appears as a laser line on the table. The laser modules are manipulated to produce a laser crosshair alignment marking wherein the projected laser lines intersect at a point operatively aligned with the axis of the drill bit. This forms a target for accurately positioning a workpiece to be drilled on the table below the drill bit.

In one aspect, cutting tools are provided comprising radiation ablation regions defining at least one of refractory surface microstructures and/or nanostructures. For example, a cutting tool described herein comprises at least one cutting edge formed by intersection of a flank face and a rake face, the flank face formed of a refractory material comprising radiation ablation regions defining at least one of surface microstructures and surface nanostructures, wherein surface pore structure of the refractory material is not occluded by the surface microstructures and surface nanostructures.

A laser level including a housing. At least one laser generator supported by the housing and configured to emit at least one laser beam.
