A holding element for a device for supporting and/or guiding a machine tool or a workpiece, wherein the device includes a contact body having a contact surface for contact on a work surface of a workpiece or a wall. It is provided that the holding element includes an adhesive means for adhesion to the work surface and a fastening means for a releasable hold on the contact body, wherein the fastening means includes at least one formfitting contour for formfitting hold on a holding element receptacle of the contact body.

Example alignment systems for aligning a drill bit with respect to a gang channel and methods of use are described herein. An example alignment system for use with a drill includes a drill block having a guide portion and an attachment portion. The attachment portion is configured to be removably coupled to a foot of the drill such that the drill block is positioned between the foot and a drill bit of the drill. A longitudinal axis of the drill block is coaxial with a longitudinal axis of the drill bit when the attachment portion is coupled to the foot. The guide portion is configured to at least partially contact an inner surface of opposing legs of a gang channel to thereby center the drill bit between the opposing legs of the gang channel.

A mobile project center system is presented that includes a center track having a pair of center supports and a pair of legs connected to the center support. A pair of benchtops are connected to the center track and move between an extended position and a retracted position. A pair of braces connect to each benchtop and provide support between the benchtop and the legs. These braces are locked and unlocked using a brace lock controlled by a brace control positioned just below the benchtops. A shelf extends between the opposing pairs of legs that transitions from a folded position and an extended position. The benchtop includes a plurality of openings in a grid pattern that facilitate attachment of various devices such as a joinery block. The system is used to perform a number of operations and converts between a plurality of configurations.

A guide apparatus for guiding a woodworking router relative a workpiece, comprising: a base for engaging with a workpiece or worktable carrying the workpiece; a guide frame coupled to the base and having at least one guide defining a linear guide path; a router housing slidably engaged with the guide for movement along the guide path relative the guide frame in an engaging direction towards the base and a disengaging direction away from the base, the router housing being configured to receive a woodworking router so that, in use, a router bit of the router extends from the router housing towards the base; and an actuation mechanism having a pivotable handle for receiving an input force from an operator to move housing along the guide path. The actuation mechanism is configured so that an input force is required to raise the housing and the router received therein against gravity.

A drill guide for a drill bit of a hand-held drill is disclosed. The drill guide includes a mount, a telescoping guard, and a guide foot. The mount is configured to couple to a non-rotating portion of the hand-held drill. The telescoping guard extends from the mount and is configured to telescope into a retracted position from an extended position. The guide foot is coupled to the telescoping guard opposite the mount such that the drill guide enshrouds the drill bit when the telescoping guard is in the extended position, and the drill bit passes through the guide foot as the telescoping guard telescopes into the retracted position from the extended position.

A drill guide for a drill bit of a chucked hand-held drill is disclosed. The drill guide includes a mount, a coupler, a telescoping guard, and a guide foot. The mount is configured to couple to a non-rotating portion of the chucked hand-held drill. The coupler extends from the mount and forms a chuck access window aligned with the chuck when the mount is coupled to the non-rotating portion of the chucked hand-held drill thereby allowing a chuck key to interface with the chuck. The telescoping guard extends from the coupler and is configured to telescope into a retracted position from an extended position. The guide foot is coupled to the telescoping guard such that the drill guide enshrouds the drill bit when the telescoping guard is in the extended position, and the drill bit passes through the guide foot when the telescoping guard is in the retracted position.

A cutting tool guide having a base plate with a top face and bottom face. A first alignment member and a second alignment member are mounted to the top face. The first and second alignment members are positioned at a right angle to each other. At least one connector mounted to said first alignment member. A power tool with a shoe can be positioned upon the base plate top face with the shoe of the power tool engaging the first and second alignment members to accurately, quickly and positively align the power tool on the baseplate.

Provided is a tool adapter mounted on a handle of a tool to be gripped by a robot hand, the tool adapter including: a fixing part including an opening in which the handle of the tool is inserted to be fixed to the fixing part; a grip part including contact surfaces which are installed on left and right sides of the fixing part to be gripped by the robot hand, and configured such that as at least one of the contact surfaces moves in accordance with a gripping force from the robot hand, a distance between the contact surfaces changes; and a power transmission structure connected to the grip part and configured to convert a movement of the at least one of the contact surfaces into a movement of pressing a switch installed at the handle of the tool.

A drive guide connectable to a power tool includes a shank, a barrel, and a sleeve. The shank includes a tool coupling portion and a barrel coupling portion. The barrel is coupled to the barrel coupling portion of the shank. The barrel includes a bit coupling portion configured to couple to a tool bit. The barrel also includes a first depth indicium disposed on a surface of the barrel and a second depth indicium disposed on the surface of the barrel. The second depth indicium is circumferentially spaced about the barrel from the first depth indicium. The sleeve is disposed concentrically about and slidable along the barrel. An edge of the sleeve provides a visual indicator to determine depth based on the first and second depth indicia.
