A clamping device for clamping a workpiece or a tool or, more specifically, a tool holding fixture in a machine part of a machine tool includes a tension rod slidably mounted within the machine part; a clamping set movable by the tension rod between clamped and released positions; a tension spring dedicated to the tension rod so as to generate the pull-in force of the clamping set; and a release mechanism, by which the clamping set can be moved against the force of the tension spring into the released position by the tension rod. To make possible effective clamping at optimum force, the tension spring is clamped between first and second rod parts of the tension rod. The second rod part can move relative to the first rod part, and, as the clamping set moves into the released position, is compressed on both ends by the release mechanism by moving the two rod parts in opposite directions.

A rotating-tool main shaft includes a hollow ram, a hollow main shaft, a collet, a draw bar that moves the collet in the axial direction, a hydraulic cylinder that moves forwardly the draw bar, and a disc spring that moves backwardly the draw bar. The draw bar includes a spring catch which is retained in the hollow main shaft so as to be movable, and which catches the disc spring. The disc spring is placed in the hollow main shaft, and is placed within a distance that is at least a half of a distance from a tip of the draw bar to the spring catch in the axial direction.

A novel drill jig includes an edge alignment guide, a hole-spacing assembly, a second guide, a biasing member, and an actuator. The edge alignment guide is configured to abut an edge of a workpiece to facilitate movement of the workpiece along a first straight line. The hole-spacing assembly includes a protrusion disposed to engage a preexisting hole in a workpiece positioned by the edge alignment guide. The second guide is coupled to the hole-spacing assembly and is configured to facilitate movement of the hole-spacing assembly along a second straight line perpendicular to the first straight line. The first biasing member is coupled to the hole-spacing assembly and is operative to exert a force on the hole-spacing assembly in a direction parallel to the second straight line. An actuator moves the hole-spacing assembly along the second straight line via the first biasing member.

A cutting tool includes a hole saw, a pilot bit, and an arbor assembly. The arbor assembly includes a shank, a sleeve, a first ball bearing moveable relative to the shank, the first ball bearing engaging the hole saw to releasably secure the hole saw to the shank, and a second ball bearing moveable relative to the shank, the second ball bearing engaging the pilot bit to releasably secure the pilot bit to the shank. The sleeve is moveable to a first position where the hole saw and the pilot bit are secured to the arbor assembly, to a second position where the first ball bearing disengages the hole saw, allowing removal of the hole saw from the shank, and to a third position where the second ball bearing disengages the pilot bit, allowing removal of the pilot bit from the shank.

A spindle of a drilling tool includes a socket portion having a first axial length (a1) of a first diameter (d1) for receiving and attaching a drill bit to the spindle. The spindle includes a fluid conduit having a second diameter (d2) narrower than (d1) for conveying a fluid to the socket portion. An interface space with diameter (d1) is formed between the fluid conduit and the drill bit when the drill bit is installed in the socket portion. A fluid conveyor, having a third diameter (d3) narrower than (d1), connects the fluid conduit to the drill bit to avoid fluid gathering in a periphery of the interface space. The fluid conveyor includes a first O-ring abutting a mouth of the fluid conduit, a second O-ring abutting a mouth of a fluid channel of the drill bit, and a spring between the first and second O-rings.

Devices, systems and methods for holding devices, including tool holders and/or associated apparatus, that can be attached to various driving mechanisms. Various embodiments can include one or more canted, or slanted, coil springs that are capable of forming to various shapes by the application of a controlled force.

A cutting tool includes a hole saw, a pilot bit, and an arbor assembly. The assembly includes a shank having a first end and a second end. The first end of the shank is removably coupled to the hole saw and to the pilot bit, and the second end of the shank is configured to be coupled to a power tool. The assembly also includes a sleeve moveable along the shank and a first ball bearing disposed on the sleeve. The first ball bearing engages the hole saw to releasably secure the hole saw to the shank. The assembly includes a second ball bearing disposed on the shank. The second ball bearing engages the pilot bit to releasably secure the pilot bit to the shank. When the sleeve moves toward the second end of the shank, the first and second ball bearings disengage the hole saw and the pilot bit.

A rotary cutting tool with a shank and an interchangeable cutting tip, wherein the shank includes a pocket which receives the interchangeable cutting tip via an interference fit. The pocket includes two centering wall portions which, when viewed along a central longitudinal axis, are oriented at a first angle with respect to one another, the first angle being greater than zero. The interchangeable cutting tip is axially displaceable between: an initial position, assumed upon being received in the pocket of the shank; a clamped position, wherein the interchangeable cutting tip is fixedly held with respect to the shank; and a bump-off position, wherein the interchangeable cutting tip is not fixedly held. A holding element holds the interchangeable cutting tip in the clamped position, and a spring assembly which displaces the interchangeable cutting tip between the clamped position and the bump-off position. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein.

An apparatus for punching an anchor bolt insertion hole is disclosed. The apparatus enables punching work for forming the anchor bolt insertion hole, of which the bottom side is wider than an inlet, on a panel surface for constructing a concrete structure to be performed regardless of the skill of a worker. During operation, the apparatus provides the movement direction of a hammer drill into the vertical direction and the inclination direction so as to enable precise punching work, and doubly arranges springs, which are elastic devices for adjusting the movement range of the hammer drill, so as to uniformly maintain the angle and size for cutting a wall such that a cross-sectional diameter is large at a portion adjacent to the bottom of the anchor bolt insertion hole.

Deburring tool for deburring bores with a paired arrangement of cutting blades and a rotationally driven tool holder, wherein in a blade recess of a blade housing, the cutting blades are driven opposite one another with radially outwardly pointing conical cutting edges, so as to be radially displaceable relative to one another by means of a rotatable rocker arranged in a base body of the tool holder, and the rocker is mounted rotatably about an axial longitudinal axis in the tool holder and is resiliently biased in the axial direction, wherein in order to change the cutting blades, the blade housing is mounted axially displaceable and fixable on the rocker and the base body.
