The problem of penetrating through nets and other objects is solved by cutting the object using various cutter systems, which include, for example a track and a moving carriage containing a cutter, a stationary carriage with a fixed or rotating arm, and/or abrasive cutters. The object is cut by a severing, slicing, or wearing action caused by a moveable blade or abrasive surface. An underwater vehicle incorporating an embodiment of the cutter system can cut a sufficiently large opening in the object to allow the vehicle to pass through.

An angle grinder includes a motor including a rotor and windings, a power supply for supplying power to the motor, a main switch for turning on/off an electrical connection between the windings of the motor and the power supply, an output shaft driven by the rotor to rotate, a rotor brake circuit for slowing down the rotor of the motor when the windings are short circuited or reverse connected, an output shaft brake circuit for producing a magnetic field to slow down the output shaft and a controller for detecting whether the rotor brake circuit short circuits or reverse connects with the windings. When the windings are short circuited or reverse connected for a time which reaches a preset value, the output shaft brake circuit produces the magnetic field to slow down the output shaft.

A cutting tool mechanism 11 for providing a cutting, abrading or grinding action is disclosed. The mechanism 11 has an inner circular part 17 having teeth 19 extending radially outwardly, a surrounding circular part 25 having inner teeth 27 extending radially inwardly. The circular parts 17 and 25 co-operate by engagement their teeth 19 and 27. Rotation of one circular part causes the other to move constrained by the engagement of the teeth in an orbital, oscillatory or impact motion. An input coupling 81 is provided for transmission of rotary motion, and an output coupling 37 is provided to transmit said orbital, oscillatory or impact motion to a blade 13. In further embodiments, the surrounding circular part 25 can be provided with outwardly extending teeth and surrounded by a further outer circular part with inwardly extending teeth, to cooperate with the outwardly extending teeth, to provide more complex orbital, oscillatory or impact motion.
