A hole cutter assembly is operable to cut a plurality of different sized diameter holes in a work piece. The hole cutter assembly includes an arbor configured to connect to a power tool for rotation about an axis, and a body coupled to the arbor for rotation with the arbor. The body defines an aperture. The hole cutter assembly includes a drill bit removably received in the aperture of the body for rotation with the arbor, an arm moveably coupled to the body, and a cutting blade coupled to the arm and moveable with the arm relative to the body. The arm is moveable relative to the body to adjust a cutting diameter of the hole cutter assembly when the drill bit is not received within the aperture. The arm is fixed relative to the body when the drill bit is received within the aperture.

Apparatus and methods for performing and controlling the sequence of steps in a multi-step machining process utilizing a plurality of drilling units, where each drilling unit is configured to perform at least one step of the multi-step machining process. Air pressure sensors in each drilling unit measure air pressures at the surface of a workpiece where the cutting tool of the drilling unit is engaged, which measured air pressures indicate air flow at the surface. These air flows in turn indicate the state of the machining at the surface of the workpiece, and based on the state of the machining, a machine control system will determine whether a drilling unit can perform its particular machining operation in the proper sequence on the workpiece.

A machine tool includes a spindle equipped with a workpiece gripping portion arranged so as to face an operator side, the spindle being configured to rotatably drive a workpiece gripped by the workpiece gripping portion, and a tool mount equipped with a rotary member supporting a plurality of tools in a rotatably indexable manner about an axis parallel to an axis of the spindle. The tool mount is arranged at a tool mount installation portion formed to be positioned on the operator side in a manner such that the rotary member faces a workpiece gripping portion side.

A power tool includes a drilling tool and a dust collector configured to be removably attached to the drilling tool. The dust collector includes a dust collector body, a passage part provided in the dust collector body and having elasticity, and a storing part configured to be removably attached to the dust collector body and to store dust. The passage part includes a drilling tool mounting port part configured to be connected to the drilling tool while pressing a specified region of the drilling tool, and a storing part mounting port part configured to be connected to the storing part while pressing a specified region of the storing part. Air containing the dust is led through the dust collector body to the storing part, and the air from which the dust has been separated in the storing part is led through the passage part into the drilling tool.

A hole cutter assembly is operable to cut a plurality of different sized diameter holes in a work piece. The hole cutter assembly includes an arbor configured to connect to a power tool for rotation about an axis, and a body coupled to the arbor for rotation with the arbor. The body defines an aperture. The hole cutter assembly includes a drill bit removably received in the aperture of the body for rotation with the arbor, an arm moveably coupled to the body, and a cutting blade coupled to the arm and moveable with the arm relative to the body. The arm is moveable relative to the body to adjust a cutting diameter of the hole cutter assembly when the drill bit is not received within the aperture. The arm is fixed relative to the body when the drill bit is received within the aperture.

A hole expansion, forming device includes a cutting portion main, body formed to have a diameter for the cutting portion, main body to be housed within a joint hole and including a cutting blade tool movable in a range from a housed position at which a blade is housed within a diameter for the cutting portion main body to an extended position at which the blade projects out of the diameter, an advancing and retracting member that is constructed to move in an axial direction by an external force and rotate about an axis of the advancing and retracting member, and a link mechanism that converts an advancing and retracting movement of the advancing and retracting member into a rotational movement of the cutting blade tool, a tip portion bearing that is provided on a tip end of the cutting portion main body, and serves as a tip end side bearing when being housed in an inner side of the joint hole.

A cutting element for use in a cutting operation, comprising a cutting edge (CE) capable of cutting out material from a workpiece during the operation, to form therein a workpiece corner of angle alpha. There exists at least one view of the cutting edge in which a portion of the cutting edge is delimitable by a first (L1) and a second (L2) line oriented tangentially to the portion of the cutting edge portion at respective tangency points A and B. The lines form therebetween a cutting angle corresponding to the workpiece corner angle alpha and have a vertex 0. For a bisector of the cutting angle intersecting the portion of the cutting edge at the point C, the projection C of the point C of the portion of the cutting edge on a line OL passing through the vertex 0 perpendicularly to the plane of the one view is located between projections A1 and B of the respective points A and B of the portion of the cutting edge on the line OL.

A suctioning cover for a core drill bit of a core drilling device is attachable to a rear side of the core drill bit in order that material for suctioning can be suctioned out of an interior of the core drill bit. The suctioning cover has a valve for setting a pressure in the interior of the core drill bit. The pressure regulating valve allows automatic setting of the pressure in the interior of the core drill bit, such that work can be performed using the core drill bit in an optimum pressure range. Material for suctioning can thus be suctioned out of the interior of the core drill bit particularly effectively. The suctioning cover can be used in particular when performing dry drilling using the core drill bit. A method of operating the suctioning cover, wherein the valve for setting the pressure can be used to set a pressure in the interior of the core drill bit or in a cavity of the suctioning cover.

A miniature internal boring tool including two to four shank flat surfaces and two to four integrally formed teeth. The outermost points of cutting edges of the teeth define an outer cutting diameter (OD) fulfilling the condition: 2 mm<OD<9 mm.
