A grinding body including a substantially cylindrical outer member for receiving an abrasive material, an inner member for attaching the grinding body to a drive unit, and a connecting structure for mechanical force transmission between the outer member and the inner member. The outer member, the inner member, and/or the connecting structure may be made at least in part of a fiber-plastic composite.

A grinding wheel assembly is disclosed and includes an arbor in which a pull stud may be installed. Further, the arbor can include a head assembly that includes a mounting plate, a cover plate, and an abrasive body disposed there between. The abrasive is removably engaged with the mounting plate and the cover plate.

A machining toolholder including a body, a horn and a piezoelectric actuator is disclosed. The body includes a center through hole extending in the axial direction therein. The center through hole includes a first hole section and a second hole section. The horn includes a first section and a second section which are disposed coaxially and connected with each other. Part of the first section is slidably inserted into the first hole section. The second section is connected to the body and engaged with a tool. Part of the surface of the second section contacts with a wall surface of the second hole section. The piezoelectric actuator fits around the horn and is controllable to drive the tool to vibrate. With this design, the machining toolholder could have good stiffness and connection stability, and could resist to the stress effectively.

The invention relates to a vulcanized fiber grinding tool (1) comprising two vulcanized fiber grinding disks (2, 3) which are adhered to each other over the entire surface by means of an adhesive layer (4) arranged between the vulcanized fiber grinding disks (2, 3) such that the vulcanized fiber grinding disk (2, 3) outer faces provided with the grinding means point away from each other and the use of a support plate is not necessary.

There is described a grinding wheel (1), particularly for grinding operations carried out on sheets of glass (2), ceramic material or similar materials, comprising a disc-shaped support with abrasive material arranged on the circumferential profile of the support, and an opposing central hole (3) for attachment to a drive shaft (4) of the grinding wheel. The disc-shaped support comprises a pair of opposed disc-shaped grinding wheel bodies (5, 6) coupled in a facing position so as to define together the abrasive grinding surface (5c, 6c) along the circumferential profile, and each of the disc-shaped bodies (5, 6) has a predetermined resilience such that the disc-shaped bodies (5, 6) can be flexed away from each other in the zone of contact with the component being ground, for the purpose of consequently applying pressure to the component in the grinding operation.

A grinding device including a grinding wheel, a hub attached to the grinding wheel, the hub movable relative to the grinding wheel in an axial direction of the hub.

A cutting device for cutting a pipe having a pipe wall. The cutting device includes an elongate carrier having a tool end which is engageable with a power tool and an opposed free end. The device includes a guide wheel located at the free end of the carrier which is loosely mounted thereon for rotation relative thereto, having a bearing surface extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of the carrier. The device also includes a cutting element having a peripheral cutting edge which is located adjacent to the guide wheel being positioned intermediate the guide wheel and the tool end. The cutting element is of greater transverse dimension than the guide wheel so that when the bearing surface bears against an internal surface of the pipe the distance between the cutting edge of the cutting element and the bearing surface enables the cutting element to cut through the pipe wall.
