A cutting tool holding mechanism for detachably holding a cutting tool includes: a collet chuck configured to clamp and unclamp the cutting tool; a piston disposed deeper on the proximal side of the spindle than the collet chuck and configured to urge the collet chuck by the pressure of a fluid supplied from the proximal side of the spindle in the direction from the proximal side toward the distal end side of the spindle so that the collet chuck unclamps the cutting tool; a spool valve provided in the piston and configured to open thanks to centrifugal force at the time when the spindle is turned, so as to supply the fluid fed from the spindle side to the cutting tool.

A device for mechanically processing a workpiece is provided. The device includes a rotating device and a holding adapter which are mechanically intercoupled such that the rotating device generates a rotation of the holding adapter about a rotation axis, while the holding adapter holds a clamping part for the mechanical treatment of the workpiece such that the holding adapter rotation axis and a longitudinal axis of the clamping part enclose an angle of more than zero degrees.

A power tool includes a housing, a motor supported by the housing, and an output spindle rotatably supported relative to the housing about an axis. The motor is operable to drive the output spindle about the axis. The power tool includes a spindle lock assembly between the motor and the output spindle. The spindle lock assembly is adjustable between an unlocked state in which the output spindle is rotatable relative to the housing about the axis and a locked state in which the output spindle is rotationally fixed relative to the housing. The spindle lock assembly includes a first resilient member, positioned between the housing and the output spindle. The first resilient member is configured to at least partially absorb a torque impulse from the output spindle when rotating in a first direction and when the spindle lock assembly transitions from the unlocked state to the locked state.

A machine tool for machining a piece has an axis of rotation A, and includes a no-force precision machining unit to machine the piece, a first spindle, a first clamping device clamping the piece and mounting it on the first spindle, and a machine parameters guidance system. The guidance system guides a controller for the machining unit to control a first machining phase of the piece on the first spindle programmed to obtain a blank mounted on the first spindle, with target dimensions are 0.5% to 20% greater than the final dimensions, then to modify the machining parameters to control, starting from the blank on the first spindle, a second machining phase to remove a quantity of material to obtain the finished piece, with the final dimensions and a roughness of less than 40 nm. A method for machining a piece using such a machine tool is also described.

The present invention provides a lathe that is provided with an eccentricity adjustment mechanism that makes it possible for electrical components that are readily affected by the environment to be eliminated from the turntable; for slip rings in particular, which exhibit problems in terms of the durability of signal transmission during high-speed rotation, to be eliminated as well, and for safe and stable adjustment of workpiece eccentricity to be easily achieved. A lathe provided with an eccentricity adjustment mechanism, in which a linear motion guide unit (6) is provided in an inclined state in an engaging part of the center part of a turntable (1) and an axial-direction-movement part (5A) of a center shaft (5); and, due to the center shaft (5) being moved, the turntable (1) moves in the radial direction by the radial pressing force generated by the linear motion guide unit (6) being inclined, and the eccentricity of the workpiece (3) is adjusted.
