A pocket hole jig that provides a vacuum attachment for waste debris removal is provided. A pocket hole jig that allows for adjustably positioning a clamp assembly is provided. Methods of operating pocket hole jigs are provided as well.

The present disclosure relates to a fixing device arranged to be fastened to a machining head such as a drill head. A machine tool for machining workpieces such as metal sheets at a machining point is also disclosed. The workpieces may be machined from a machining side. A fastening device is included and adapted for fastening the fixing device to the machining head. A fixing head is included and adapted for releasably, locally fixing the workpiece on its machining side and adjacent to the machining point. A controller is included and configured to control the fixing and releasing of the fixing head on a workpiece.

A suction-extraction attachment for an insertion tool includes a housing, a bearing unit, and a suction-extraction opening. The housing has an end-side opening that is configured to accommodate the insertion tool. The bearing unit is configured to mount the suction-extraction attachment on the insertion tool. The suction-extraction opening is configured to couple the suction-extraction attachment to a suction-extraction device. The end-side opening and the suction-extraction opening form a transporting channel. The suction-extraction attachment is configured to be mounted on the insertion tool via the bearing unit in an axially movable and rotatable manner such that a position of the suction-extraction attachment relative to the insertion tool alters as a drill-hole depth increases.

A cyclone pre-separator for positioning on a particle collecting container, the cyclone pre-separator including a box-shaped housing and a cyclone unit arranged in the housing. The cyclone unit includes an air inlet, an air outlet, and a particle outlet arranged on a underside of the cyclone pre-separator, where the housing has an air inlet hose port connected to the air inlet and an air outlet hose port connected to the air outlet, and has lower housing couplers, adapted to provide a releasable, vertically tension-proof coupling to the particle collecting container, when the cyclone pre-separator is positioned on the particle collecting container.

A handheld power tool 10 includes a detection signal acquisition unit 31, a determination unit 32, a display unit 24, a display control unit 34, a motor 14, and a drive control unit 13. The detection signal acquisition unit 31 acquires a detection signal that changes according to the detection strength of rebar W1 in concrete W. The determination unit 32 determines the presence or absence of the rebar W1 based on the acquisition result acquired by the detection signal acquisition unit 31. The display unit 24 displays the presence or absence of the rebar W1 by turning on different lights. The display control unit 34 controls so as to switch the color of the light displayed on the display unit 24 on the basis of the determination result by the determination unit 32. The motor 14 rotationally drives a tip tool 18a that works the concrete W. The drive control unit 13 controls the drive of the motor 14.

A robotic forming system and method for forming a tapered hole in a workpiece include a housing and a nose extending from the housing. The housing defines an internal chamber. A vacuum gate is in fluid communication with an internal cavity of the nose. A seal is within the nose. A first spindle includes a first operative head. The first spindle is retained within the internal chamber. The first spindle is configured to be moved between a first stowed position within the housing and a first operating position in which the first operative head extends into the nose. The first operative head is configured to form an initial hole within the workpiece. A second spindle includes a second operative head. The second spindle is retained within the internal chamber. The second spindle is configured to be moved between a second stowed position within the housing and a second operating position in which the second operative head extends into the nose. The second operative head is configured to modify the initial hole to form a tapered hole.

Methods and systems are provided for a power tool in control of a vacuum. In response to activation input, the power tool controls a motor for driving power tool operation and wirelessly transmits a control signal to a vacuum. In response to receiving the control signal, the vacuum controls a motor for driving operation of the vacuum. The power tool, the vacuum, or both include a wireless communication pairing butting for paring the power tool and the vacuum. The power tool and/or the vacuum may be cordless and powered by a battery pack.

A device for extracting drilling sludge for use at difficult to access locations on a building site includes a main body. The main body has a cavity on a lower side of the main body and a drilling sludge that is disposed in the cavity during a use of the device is extractable from the cavity by a suction device. The main body also has an extraction opening which opens into the cavity.

A self-adjusting pocket hole jig system is presented having a base, an upright assembly operably connected to the base, a clamping assembly, operably connected to the upright assembly, a handle operably connected to the clamping assembly, and a drill guide assembly operably connected to the clamping assembly. The drill guide assembly is configured and arranged to move along the upright assembly between an unclamped position and a clamped position in response to movement of the handle. Movement of the handle simultaneously adjusts the height of the drill guide assembly as well as facilitates clamping of the drill guide assembly for workpieces of various thicknesses.

A vacuum tool configured to be removably coupled to hose or wand of a vacuum includes a body including a first end, a second end, and a first longitudinal axis extending between the first end and the second end. The vacuum tool also includes a head coupled to the first end of the body, a connection portion coupled to the second end of the body and configured to couple the body to a hose or wand of a vacuum cleaner, and a brush coupled to the head. The brush includes an elongate support defining a second axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body and configured to couple the brush to the head, and a plurality of bristles positioned on the elongate support.
