An electricity supply tool holder for a machining center is provided, and has: a holder body, a stationary coil portion, a rotating coil portion, a lateral fixing portion, and an electrical machinery. The stationary coil portion is provided with a primary coil therein; the rotating coil portion is correspondingly provided with a secondary coil therein; and the lateral fixing portion is fixed on a side of the stationary coil portion used for removably combining with a machining center. When the tool holder is rotated, an external electric power/signal can be transmitted through the lateral fixing portion to the primary coil, then inducing the secondary coil, then the electric power/signal is transmitted to the electrical machinery. Additionally, the lateral fixing portion can be switched into a locked position to temporarily limit rotation, so that it can be used in a machining center of an Automatic Tool Changing (ATC) system.

A position controlling device for a carpenter angle drill/hollow chisel mortiser has a mounting group, a positioning group, and a retaining arm. The mounting group has two crossbars and a bridge bar. The bridge bar is connected to the crossbars. The positioning group is connected to the mounting group, and has two limiting blocks, a holding frame, and a circuit breaker. The limiting blocks are connected to the bridge bar between the crossbars. The holding frame is securely connected to one of the limiting blocks. The circuit breaker is mounted in the holding frame and has a contacting slice and an electric wire. The contacting slice is elastically connected to the circuit breaker, and transversally extends out of the holding frame. The retaining arm selectively abuts the contacting slice of the circuit breaker to enable the circuit breaker at a turn-off condition.
