Another implement is configured with a plurality of threaded arbor coupling arrangements configured to enable mounting of the implement to rotary power tools equipped with arbors having different diameters with one of the arbor coupling arrangements being a removable arbor coupling insert that threads into another one of the arbor coupling arrangements fixed to the implement. One implement includes the adapter, removable arbor coupling insert, and fixed arbor coupling arrangement.

A quick clamping device for a portable machine tool includes at least one drive shaft, at least one clamping unit, and at least one operating unit. The clamping unit has, for tool-less fastening of an insertion tool on the drive shaft, at least one clamping element for exerting a clamping force on the insertion tool in a clamping position. The operating unit is configured to move the clamping element into a release position, and includes at least one operating element, in particular an operating lever. The operating element has at least one activation surface for movement of the clamping element into the release position. The activation surface is arranged such that at least one force initiation point of the operating element is movable, upon interaction with a contact surface of an actuating element of the operating unit, as a factor of movement of the operating element on the contact surface.

An electric power tool disclosed herein may include a motor; a power transmission mechanism connected to the motor; a housing that houses the motor and the power transmission mechanism; a tool holder projecting from the housing; a cover covering at least a part of a tool attached to the tool holder; and a mask member. The cover may include an engaging portion that engages with the housing. The mask member may have a shape that blocks visibility of at least a part of the engaging portion.

A power tool, in particular a hand-held power tool, includes a tool-holding device that rotates about an output axis. The tool-holding device is configured to hold a tool device on the power tool such that the output axis and a tool rotation axis substantially coincide. The tool-holding device has at least a driver device and a clamping device that is movable relative to the driver device. To transfer a driving force to the tool device, the driver device has at least one torque transfer region that is arranged at a distance from the output axis. The driver device and the clamping device are configured to reach through a cut-out of the tool device, which cut-out extends through the entire material thickness of the tool device, and to clamp the tool device via the clamping device, which is movable substantially in a direction radial to the output axis.

The present invention relates to a sander, a method for operating the sander, and a method for assembling and disassembling a working baseplate. The sander includes: a main body, including a housing, a motor disposed in the housing, a switch mechanism for controlling the motor includes a switch, and a drive component driven by the motor to rotate; and a working baseplate adapted to the drive component. The main body further includes an interlocking mechanism, the interlocking mechanism includes an operation member movably disposed relative to the housing, the operation member is operably shifted between a first state and a second state, when the operation member is in the first state, the interlocking mechanism allows the switch to be triggered, when the switch is in a triggered state, the operation member is prevented from being shifted from the first state to the second state; and when the operation member is in the second state, the interlocking mechanism prevents the switch from being triggered. The sanding machine of the present invention has high security and can be operated conveniently.

The subject of the present invention is a rotationally drivable rotary tool device and in particular a rotary brush tool. The invention is equipped, in its basic construction, with a tool holder (1, 2) having at least one drive-side clamping element (1) and a tool-side clamping element (2). The two clamping elements (1, 2) are connected releasably together and receive a rotary tool (5, 6). Furthermore, the two clamping elements (1, 2) ensure that the rotary tool (5, 6) is held. According to the invention, the tool-side clamping element (2) and the rotary tool (5, 6) define a structural unit (2, 5, 6). To this end, the clamping element (2) in question is configured as a holding cage (2) that encloses the rotary tool (5, 6) radially and axially at least in part.

A power tool, in particular a hand-held power tool, includes a tool-holding device that rotates about an output axis. The tool-holding device is configured to hold a tool device on the power tool such that the output axis and a tool rotation axis substantially coincide. The tool-holding device has at least a driver device and a clamping device that is movable relative to the driver device. To transfer a driving force to the tool device, the driver device has at least one torque transfer region that is arranged at a distance from the output axis. The driver device and the clamping device are configured to reach through a cut-out of the tool device, which cut-out extends through the entire material thickness of the tool device, and to clamp the tool device via the clamping device, which is movable substantially in a direction radial to the output axis.

It is an object of the invention to increase the degree of freedom in designing a power tool. A representative power tool has a spindle that transmits a driving force of a motor to a tool accessory, a tool accessory holding member that is configured to be movable in a direction of a spindle rotation axis direction between a holding position for holding the tool accessory and a releasing position for releasing the tool accessory, a lock mechanism that locks the tool accessory holding member in the holding position, and a body housing. The lock mechanism is disposed between a second end of the spindle and a wall of the body housing in the spindle rotation axis direction.

A quick tensioning device for a portable machine tool, in particular for an angle grinding machine, includes at least one output shaft which can be rotated, at least one clamping unit that is at least partly arranged in the output shaft and has at least one clamping element, which is movably mounted at least about and/or along a movement axis of the clamping unit, for fixing an insert tool unit to the output shaft without tools, and at least one torque transmission unit for transmitting a torque to the insert tool unit when the insert tool unit is arranged on the output shaft, said torque transmission unit having at least one torque transmission element which is formed separately from the output shaft. The quick tensioning device includes at least one securing unit at least for securing the torque transmission element to the output shaft in a rotationally fixed manner.

Embodiments of a rotary polisher with a spindle lock to allow quick removal of the backplate are provided. In preferred embodiments, the rotary polisher comprises: a body including a neck; a spindle extending down from the body through the neck and coaxial with the neck wherein the spindle has a threaded end extending down below the neck and wherein the spindle has a cavity; a backplate coupled to the threaded end of the spindle; and a button coupled to a pin wherein the button and pin are aligned with the cavity and pass through an outside wall of the neck and wherein the pin is moveable in and out of the cavity.
