An accessory for use with a rotary power tool having a rotatable spindle and a first mating member. The accessory includes a housing having a body and a plurality of arms extending therefrom, a hub rotatably supported within the housing between the arms and configured to be coupled to the spindle to receive torque therefrom, a ball detent disposed within the hub and selectively engagable with the spindle to axially lock the accessory to the power tool, a sleeve axially slidable along the arms and relative to the hub between a first position in which the sleeve biases the ball detent radially inward and into engagement with the spindle when coupled to the hub to axially secure the accessory to the tool, and a second position in which the ball detent is disengageable from the spindle to release the accessory from the tool, and a second mating member axially fixed to the arms of the housing, wherein the sleeve is slidable between the second mating member and the body of the housing, and wherein the first and second mating members are engaged when the accessory is axially secured to the tool to rotationally fix the accessory to the tool.

A chuck-claw guide structure includes a guide-space delimiting part that delimits a guide space in communication with an attachment groove, and a regulation part provided on the guide-space delimiting part. The guide-space delimiting part has a contact surface configured to regulate the claw in contact therewith at a position along the attachment groove in a first direction. The regulation part is configured to regulate the claw at a position along the attachment groove in a second direction different from the first direction.

A milling machine can include a chuck and at least one tool. The chuck is rotatable about a first rotational axis and has clamping jaws. The at least one tool is movable relative to the first rotational axis. An assembly for the milling machine includes a workpiece and a collet. The collet includes fingers affixing the collet to the workpiece. The collet also includes a chuck mount receivable within the chuck. The chuck is rotatable about a first rotational axis and has clamping jaws. The at least one tool is movable relative to the first rotational axis. An assembly for the milling machine includes a workpiece and a collet. The collet includes fingers affixing the collet to the workpiece. The collet also includes a chuck mount receivable within the chuck.

Reducer sleeves are described herein. Reducer sleeves described herein comprise a reducer sleeve body having an axial forward end and an axial rearward end. The reducer sleeve body defines a longitudinal axis. Reducer sleeves further comprise a flange disposed at the axial forward end of the reducer sleeve body. The flange defines a first nozzle disposed at a first radial distance from the longitudinal axis and a second nozzle disposed at a second distance from the longitudinal axis. The reducer sleeve body defines a first trough extending from the axial rearward end to the axial forward end. The first trough is in communication with the first nozzle and the second nozzle, whereby coolant is able to enter the first trough and flow along the first trough and into the first nozzle and the second nozzle such that the coolant is ejected by the first nozzle and the second nozzle.

A workpiece clamping system for a measuring machine includes a rotary table disposed in a workpiece rotation axis and includes a chuck for the concentric accommodation of a workpiece, a rotary drive for the rotary table, an upper centering tip mountable or mounted on the measuring machine in the workpiece rotation axis vertically opposed to the rotary table, and a lower centering tip mountable or mounted on the rotary table in addition to the chuck for accommodating a workpiece between the centering tips instead of in the chuck, wherein the lower centering tip is provided and formed to be concentrically clamped in the chuck instead of a workpiece, and in that the workpiece clamping system is provided with a conveying device for vertically or vertically and horizontally conveying the lower centering tip into and from its clamping position in the chuck.

A milling machine can include a chuck and at least one tool. The chuck is rotatable about a first rotational axis and has clamping jaws. The at least one tool is movable relative to the first rotational axis. An assembly for the milling machine includes a workpiece and a collet. The collet includes fingers affixing the collet to the workpiece. The collet also includes a chuck mount receivable within the chuck. The chuck is rotatable about a first rotational axis and has clamping jaws. The at least one tool is movable relative to the first rotational axis. An assembly for the milling machine includes a workpiece and a collet. The collet includes fingers affixing the collet to the workpiece. The collet also includes a chuck mount receivable within the chuck.

An adapter for holding a tool in a collet chuck, the adapter containing an external taper to accommodate the adapter in the collet chuck. The adapter has a thread for fastening of the tool, and several shape-mated elements are arranged on an outer surface of the external taper for non-rotational holding of the receptacle body during fastening of the tool.

A reducer sleeve includes a reducer sleeve body that has an axial forward end and an axial rearward end, as well as a flange at the axial forward end thereof. The flange contains a first nozzle. The reducer sleeve body contains a first trough extending from the axial rearward end to the axial forward end. The first trough is in communication with the first nozzle whereby coolant is able to enter the first trough and flow along the first trough and into the first nozzle wherein the coolant is ejected by the first nozzle.

Machine chuck jaws, and a related method of manufacture, are provided. The machine chuck jaws are formed from an additive manufacturing process and include one or more gripping pads per chuck jaw. An axial stop is also formed from an additive manufacturing process and provides a flat surface for workpiece placement. The gripping pads equally distribute the clamping pressure, and the additive manufacturing process provides unique shaping capabilities and a honeycomb internal cross-section, thereby achieving a lightweight design. The reduction in weight allows for a decrease in pneumatic pressure used to actuate the jaws, resulting in a corresponding reduction in the clamping pressure which helps improve the form of the workpiece being machined.

A holding sleeve has a sleeve body having multiple clamping slits, and an outlet portion. The clamping slits are defined longitudinally and radially in the outer surface, are arranged at even angular intervals and communicate with the rotary cutting tool hole. Each clamping slit has a first end and a lateral branch. The lateral branch extends laterally from the first end of the clamping slit and communicates with the clamping slit. The outlet portion is formed in the outer end of the sleeve body and communicates with the lateral branches of the clamping slits.
