A tool for roughening a borehole surface. The tool includes a coupling portion for clamping the tool; a tool head for machining the borehole surface; and an extraction duct. The coupling portion is disposed at a first end of a tool shank and the tool head at an opposite, second end of the tool shank. The tool head has a cutter disposed circumferentially on the tool head. The tool head has a slit, which passes through from one side to the other and which, starting from an end face of the tool head, extends axially along a longitudinal axis of the tool. The extraction duct extends at least partly axially along the longitudinal axis of the tool for extraction of drilling dust. The extraction duct, starting from the end face of the tool head, extends inside the tool shank and discharges circumferentially into a connecting opening in the tool shank.

This device is provided with: a main shaft (20) onto which a tool (100) is detachably mounted; a rod (30) slidably supported by the main shaft (20) and configured to attach or detach the tool (100) to or from the main shaft (20) through a sliding action; a fluid channel (32) formed in the rod (30); fluid feed device (51, 70) configured to feed a fluid into the fluid channel (32); a plurality of fluid channels for seating detection (24) for detecting when the main shaft (20) and the tool (100) are in a seated state, the fluid channels for seating detection (24) being formed in the main shaft (20) so as to communicate with the fluid channel (32) when the rod (30) is positioned at a first position; and a plurality of fluid channels for cleaning (25) for cleaning seating portions of the main shaft (20) and the tool (100), the fluid channel for cleaning (25) being formed in the main shaft (20) so as to communicate with the fluid channel (32) when the rod (30) is positioned at a second position different from the first position.

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 swarf handling apparatus installed in a machining tool that performs machining operation accompanied with production of stringy swarf includes a swarf catching device. The swarf catching device includes a holder unit that holds the stringy swarf when the stringy swarf makes contact with the holder unit. The swarf catching device causes the holder unit to be floated in a region around a machining point in such a manner that the position of the holder unit is varied relative to the machining point, for catching the stringy swarf in the holder unit.

A cutting tool for cutting a hole into a fluid transportation pipe and for retaining a cutting chip is provided. The tool (1) comprises a main body (2) having an end which is prolonged by a tapered part (3), the tool (1) further comprising an accommodation space (11), the tool being configured to receive a cutting chip in the accommodation space (11) via an opening (10) which extends at least from a geometrical apex (5) of the tapered part (3) to the periphery of the main body (61), and the tool (1) further has a cutting edge (4) extending at least from the geometrical apex (5) of the tapered part (3) to the periphery of the main body (2) of the cutting tool (1). The main body (2) is made of a material that differs from a material of which the cutting edge (4) is made.

A tool for machining an outer circumferential surface of a workpiece, with an interface adapted for fastening the tool to a counter interface, and a base body which is cylindrical at least in sections. The base body has a circumferential wall encompassing a mounting space and is configured to be open at the frontal side in such a way that the workpiece can be at least partially accommodated in the mounting space. At least one cutting edge engaging in the mounting space is arranged on the base body for the machining of the outer circumferential surface of the workpiece. The circumferential wall has at least one chip passing recess which is arranged relative to the at least one cutting edge in such a way that chips removed by the at least one cutting edge during the machining of the workpiece can exit through the at least one chip passing recess from the mounting space into an outer surrounding area of the base body.

The invention provides a machine tool capable of facilitating a process of mounting a fluid supplying unit to a spindle supporting unit. The machine tool comprisies a rotating unit including a spindle provided with a workpiece chucking unit, a supporting unit which rotatably supports the spindle around a spindle axis, and a fluid supplying unit removably mounted on the supporting unit to supply fluid to the chucking unit via the spindle. The fluid supplying unit has an insert to be received in the rotating unit in the direction of the spindle axis. A labyrinth clearance is formed between the outer circumferential surface of the insert and the inner circumferential surface of the rotating unit when the fluid supplying unit is mounted on the supporting unit. The labyrinth clearance allows rotation of the rotating unit and restricts leak of fluid from the spindle when the rotating unit is rotated.

An apparatus for the collection, gathering, and disposal of the debris that is created when drilling a hole into a vertical surface. The Disposable Drill Debris Eliminator (DDDE) is designed and constructed in a very simple manner and is thus very inexpensive to manufacturer; the DDDE is designed and constructed so that it is foldable, stackable, and thus very compact; the DDDE it is disposable; the DDDE contains in its design, a method of alignment, which enables the user to align the drill more easily to the intended hole position in a more perpendicular manner; the DDDE contains in it's design and construction, a device that enables the user to control the depth of the hole being drilled; and the DDDE is re-positionable for many uses because the adhesive strength is of the strength of re-positionable sticker notes.

A dust collection system includes a drill that includes an arbor and a hole saw. A vacuum is provided that includes a hose. A bellows is provided and the bellows may be positioned against a surface. The drill is extended into the bellows to cut a hole in the surface. The bellows surrounds the hole saw to contain dust created when the hole saw cuts the hole. The hose of the vacuum is fluidly coupled to the bellows. Thus, the vacuum sucks the dust out of the bellows.
