Several means 71, 72, 73, 74, and 75 are provided for restricting a relative displacement in a separating direction of half-split housings 50L, 50R. At one or more of several screw-connection parts 60 of the left and right half-split housings 50L, 50R, a press-fitting protrusion 71a is provided in an insertion hole 62a of a boss-receiving part 62 into which a screw-boss part 61 is inserted. By press-fitting the screw-boss part 61 to the boss-receiving part 62, a separation resistance may be introduced between the left and right half-split housings 50L, 50R.

Embodiments of this disclosure provide a system and method for cutting composite materials. The system includes a material supporting surface, an oscillating saw suspended from a rotatable head on an arm, a two-axis gimbal coupled to the rotatable head for adjusting a cutting angle of the oscillating saw, and a material clamp for clasping the composite material to prevent the composite material from slipping while being cut with the oscillating saw. An automated embodiment of the system further includes a controller for instructing the oscillating saw to cut the composite material by guiding the saw via coordinated movement of the rotatable head, the arm, and the gimbal. A method of cutting a woven composite material includes feeding the material on a support surface, providing an oscillating saw blade on a guiding mechanism, and cutting the material by moving the saw blade in a direction based on the guiding mechanism.

An accessory for coupling to an attachment mechanism of an oscillating power tool includes a working end, an opposite rear end, and a fitment portion adjacent the rear end portion. The fitment portion includes a central opening having a central portion and a rearward portion open to the rear end, and configured to receive a post of a tool clamping mechanism. The fitment portion further includes a first plurality of openings in communication with and extending radially outward from the central portion, a second plurality of openings not in communication with and positioned radially outward from the central portion. The central portion, the first plurality of openings, and the second plurality of openings are configured to couple the fitment portion to a plurality of different configurations of attachment mechanisms for oscillating power tools.

A power tool has a driving shaft for driving a working element and a clamping device for clamping the working element. The clamping device has a clamping position in which the working element may be fixed relative to the driving shaft and a release position in which the working element can be removed from the driving shaft. An operating member is coupled to the clamping device for moving the clamping device between positions. The clamping device also has a rotating position in which the working element can be rotated by an angle relative to the driving shaft and the operating member has an operating position that corresponds to the rotating position.

An oscillating power tool having a motor, a base flange driven about an output axis by the motor, and an accessory shaft movable relative to the base flange between a clamping position and a release position. A clamping flange is pivotably coupled to the accessory shaft for clamping an accessory in cooperation with the base flange.

An accessory for oscillating power tools includes an attachment portion with a rear end couplable to an oscillating power tool and a working portion coupled to the attachment portion and extending along a tool axis. The working portion includes a cutting edge arranged asymmetrically relative to the tool axis with a leading tooth disposed at one end of the cutting edge at a first distance from the rear end, a trailing tooth disposed on an opposite end of the cutting edge at a second distance from the rear end that is less than the first distance, and a plurality of intermediate teeth between leading tooth and the trailing tooth, each disposed less than or equal to the first distance and greater than or equal to the second distance from the rear end, the cutting edge slanted at an acute angle to a line perpendicular to the tool axis.

An oscillatingly driven machine tool having a housing in which a motor with a motor shaft is received, on which an eccentric element is accommodated, with a spindle head, with a tool spindle that is rotatably mounted about its longitudinal axis in the spindle head, on which a coupling element is non-rotatably received, which cooperates with the eccentric element for generating a movement of the tool spindle which oscillates about its longitudinal axis such that, in addition to the oscillating movement, a differing, superimposed movement is introduced into the coupling element.

A saw gear set comprising a set of saw blades and a saw drive (1), wherein each saw blade of the set is configured to be coupled to the saw drive (1) by means of a coupling mechanism (100), which coupling mechanism (100) is configured to transmit a driving force of the saw drive (1) to the saw blade in a force transmission point, for oscillating the saw blade around a pivot axis (300). Each saw blade of the set is configured to be pivotably borne around the pivot axis (300). In operation, an oscillation angle (α) around the pivot axis (300) is different for each saw blade of the set depending on a pivot distance between the pivot axis (300) and the force transmission point which varies for each saw blade of the set.

A surgical saw includes a body, a coupling assembly, and a motor. The coupling assembly is mounted to the body and adapted to releasably hold a saw blade. The coupling assembly includes an anvil, a press, and a clamping assembly. The anvil has a channel or a press foot. The press has the other of the press foot and the channel. The press foot is receivable by the channel. The clamping assembly selectively moves the press and the anvil towards and away from each other. When the press is brought towards the anvil, the press foot may press a lock tooth of the saw blade into the channel so that the lock tooth is compressed between the anvil and the press to coin the lock tooth. The motor, internal to the body, is connected to the coupling assembly to reciprocate the coupling assembly and the saw blade.

A power tool includes a housing (10), a spindle (4) supported in the housing to be pivotable or rotatable about a driving axis, a clamping shaft (60) that is selectively movable in the up-down direction relative to the spindle, a biasing member (70), a release member (71) and an actuating member (50). The release member is selectively movable in the up-down direction relative to the spindle and is configured to selectively interrupt transmission of upward biasing force from the biasing member to the clamping shaft. The release member is also configured to be locked to the spindle in a locked position while transmission of the biasing force is being interrupted. The actuating member is movable upward in the up-down direction relative to the spindle in response to being pressed upward by a clamping part (64) or by a tool accessory (91) to thereby unlock the release member from the spindle.
