A positioner positions a guide ruler relative to a workpiece that is adjacent to the guide ruler while more stably retaining the guide ruler at the locked position without causing interference with a cutting operation. A positioner that positions a ruler body relative to a workpiece includes a contact member to be in contact with an edge of the workpiece and extendable along the edge of the workpiece, a support supporting the contact member in a manner rotatable on a lower surface of the ruler body, and a position retainer that retains the contact member at a rotational position.

A position correcting system, method and tool for guiding a tool during its use based on its location relative to the material being worked on. Provided is a system and tool which uses its auto correcting technology to precisely rout or cut material. The invention provides a camera which is used to track the visual features of the surface of the material being cut to build a map and locate an image on that map used to reference the location of the tool for auto-correction of the cutting path.

The present disclosure relates generally to a tool that facilitates machining of inserts mounted in a primary component. More specifically, tools according to the present disclosure may be designed to support removal of recessed inserts in primary components without damaging the underlying primary components.

A portable jig and fixture having at least one base plate, a column assembly removably coupled to the at least one base plate, a slide assembly removably coupled to the column assembly, a power feed head removably coupled to the slide assembly, and a spindle unit removably coupled with the slide assembly having a motor removably engaged it. At least one cutter assembly is removably engaged with the spindle unit and at least one drill jig is also removably engaged with the spindle unit. Also, a turbomachine having complementary structure on the compressor discharge casing can engage with the at least one base plate alignment mounting structure on the portable jig and fixture.

A clamp on straight edge device for guiding for a tool includes a slot that is positioned longitudinally through a bar. A pair of coupling assemblies is slidably positioned in the slot. The coupling assemblies are selectively couplable to the bar so that each coupling assembly is fixedly positionable within the slot. Each coupling assembly is configured to position in abutment to a respective edge of a workpiece. The coupling assembles then are coupled to the bar to couple the bar to the workpiece with the bar extending linearly between the pair of coupling assemblies across a respective face of the workpiece. A user is positioned to selectively mark, score, perforate, cut, or otherwise alter the workpiece along a respective opposing side of the bar using a tool, such as a hand held powered cutting tool or the like.

Methods comprise machining each of an annular planar surface and a linear planar surface of a workpiece using a combination flange facer and milling machine. Methods comprise using a machine frame of a flange facer and a rotating ring of the flange facer to mount a milling machine to a workpiece, and machining the workpiece using the milling machine when it is coupled to the rotating ring of the flange facer. Portable machining kits comprise a flange facer and a milling machine that is configured to be operatively mounted to the rotating ring of the flange facer. Portable machine tools comprise a machine frame, a rotating ring, a bridge coupled to the rotating ring, a facing tool head assembly configured to be selectively coupled to and decoupled from the bridge, and a milling tool head assembly configured to be selectively coupled to and decoupled from the bridge.

A piling guide tool for forming a cutout for seating a brace plate on a post. The piling guide tool has a body with first and second surfaces, first and second side edges, first and second end edges, and a router guide area adjacent to an opening in the body. A pivotally mounting bolt guide mounting plate is used to cover and uncover the opening. A bolt hole guiding assembly supported on the guide mounting plate has two cylindrical hollow guides. Width adjusting assemblies are slidably mounted on the lower surface of the tool and has a movable guide rail and an adjusting screw assembly with a threaded bolt connected to the guide rail for movement thereof toward and away from the opening. Slots receive bolts to allow movement of the guide rail on the lower surface of the tool. Method for using the tool is also disclosed.

A position correcting system, method and tool for guiding a tool during its use based on its location relative to the material being worked on. Provided is a system and tool which uses its auto correcting technology to precisely rout or cut material. The invention provides a camera which is used to track the visual features of the surface of the material being cut to build a map and locate an image on that map used to reference the location of the tool for auto-correction of the cutting path.

A mortise and tenon joint tooling guide includes a base seat, two templates, an adjusting plate and a clamping structure. The base seat has a platform and an opening through the platform. Each of the templates can be arranged on the platform at intervals in a movable form. Each of the templates is formed with a guiding edge on one side. The guiding edges face each other and are used to guide the machining tool going through the opening to process a workpiece to form a mortise or tenon. The adjusting plate is configured on the base seat, capable of moving back and forth, and is used to abut against the workpiece, and to correct the distance between the template and the surface. The clamping structure is configured on the base seat, and is used to clamp the workpiece, so as to relatively position the platform and the workpiece.
