A multifunction cutting tool guide which includes a base plate having a top surface and a bottom surface, with the base plate top surface including connection points for connecting a power tool to the base plate top surface. A track extends longitudinally along the bottom surface of the base plate for use in guided cuts. The track is defined by first and second spaced walls with at least one of the walls being movable with respect to the other wall to accommodate various sized straight edges. The base also includes a laterally extending channel adapted to mount on a straight edge for rip cuts.

A machining system includes a machining unit and a moving apparatus configured to move the machining unit. The machining unit includes a rotating tool for rotating about an axis in a vertical direction, an upper surface abutting member configured to be abutted against an upper surface of a work, an end face abutting member configured to be abutted against an end face of the work between an upper edge and an lower edge of the work, and a vertical moving unit configured to change a position of the upper surface abutting member in the vertical direction with respect to the rotating tool. The rotating tool includes a machining portion main body, a first machining portion provided on a lower side of the machining portion main body, and a second machining portion provided on an upper side of the machining portion main body.

A mortise and tenon jig includes a base plate, a router support plate attached to an upper surface of the base plate such that the router support plate includes an opening, and a guide attached to the router support plate. The guide may include a first end and a second end. The first end includes a mortise guide surface, and the second end includes a tenon guide surface. The mortise and tenon jig also includes a first configuration where the mortise guide surface is aligned with the opening and a second configuration where the tenon guide surface is aligned with the opening.

A method and apparatus for the refurbishment and repowering of wind turbines through the extension of existing installed blades so that they can catch more wind energy and therefore enable an increase in the overall average power output of the wind turbine.

Various embodiments include a structure for positioning a tool on an elongated recess of a workpiece, wherein the elongated recess extends along a first longitudinal axis and has end surfaces on two end faces. The structure may include a plate having a cutout extending along an axis; a centering device; and a clamping device fixedly connected to the plate and the centering device. The cutout, when the second longitudinal axis is aligned parallel to the first longitudinal axis, enframes the elongated recess. The centering device includes a centering jaw movable within the cutout along the second longitudinal axis and also movable into and out of the elongated recess. The clamping device, on the side of the plate facing the elongated recess, includes clamping jaws movable along the second longitudinal axis to come into mechanical contact with one of the end surfaces of the end faces of the elongated recess.

A device for recontouring a gas turbine blade includes: a holding device having at least one cutting tool; and a guide configured to guide the cutting tool along a leading edge of the gas turbine blade. The cutting tool is configured to remove material from the gas turbine blade using a rotational movement about an axis of rotation. The axis of rotation forms an angle together with a chord of the gas turbine blade in a profile section plane, which extends perpendicularly to a radial extent of the gas turbine blade, and the angle is less than 45?.

A drill press includes a main housing, a drill unit supported by the main housing for relative movement therewith, and a magnetic base for coupling the drill press to a ferromagnetic workpiece. The magnetic base includes a ferromagnetic body having spaced, substantially parallel first and second rails. Each of the first and second rails includes a flat bottom surface engageable with the ferromagnetic workpiece. A coil is positioned between the first and second rails for generating a holding force on the ferromagnetic workpiece. The coil defines a central axis that is parallel with the bottom surface of each of the first and second rails.

A method for mounting an endpiece for securing a tubular pipe and apparatus for implementing same. The method includes the steps of: a) providing an endpiece and a ring (36) having an outer rotationally symmetrical cylindrical surface (40), and a sheath having a sheath end (32) and an outer circular edge (46); b) inserting the ring (36) into the sheath end (32); c) leveling off the outer circular edge (46); and d) covering the leveled edge with the endpiece. In step b) the ring (36, 36, 36) is inserted leaving one of the ends (44) thereof extending out of the sheath end (32), and in step c) the outer circular edge (46) is leveled off, by engaging the one of the two ring ends (44).

A cutting guide includes a first guide structure having a base, a first saw support, and a second saw support. The first saw support is attached to the base and defines a first saw contact surface. The second saw support is attached to the base and defines a second saw contact surface that is spaced apart from the first saw contact surface so as to define an elongated cutting slot therebetween. The elongate cutting slot defines (i) a first slot portion, (ii) a second slot portion that is contiguous with the first slot portion, and (iii) a third slot portion that is contiguous with the second slot portion. The second slot portion is interposed between the first slot portion and the third slot portion.

A mortise and tenon jig includes a base plate, a router support plate attached to an upper surface of the base plate such that the router support plate includes an opening, and a guide attached to the router support plate. The guide may include a first end and a second end. The first end includes a mortise guide surface, and the second end includes a tenon guide surface. The mortise and tenon jig also includes a first configuration where the mortise guide surface is aligned with the opening and a second configuration where the tenon guide surface is aligned with the opening.
