A cutting device for cutting a pipe having a pipe wall includes an elongate carrier having a tool end which is engageable with a power tool, and a free end. The device includes a guide wheel located at the free end of the carrier, which is mounted thereon for rotation relative thereto, having a bearing surface extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of the carrier. The device also includes a cutting element having a peripheral cutting edge which is located adjacent to the guide wheel being positioned intermediate the guide wheel and the tool end. The cutting element is of greater transverse dimension than the guide wheel so that when the bearing surface bears against an internal surface of the pipe the distance between the cutting edge of the cutting element and the bearing surface enables the cutting element to cut through the pipe wall.

A machine tool (1) is provided, in particular an angle grinder, including a spindle (8) that can be driven about a rotational axis (L), a device (9) being provided which can be fixed to the spindle (8) by a rotary connection. A separate securing device (26) is provided which is operatively connected to the spindle (8), which is arranged on the output side of the device (9), at least in some regions, and which, at least during operation of the machine tool (1), has a smaller outer diameter (28), at least in some regions, with respect to the rotational axis (L) than an outer diameter (14) of the spindle (8).

A blade changer unit includes a blade chuck for holding a cutting blade, a moving unit for moving the blade chuck, and a control unit for controlling moving unit. The blade chuck has a plurality of electrically conductive grippers for holding the cutting blade. The controller detects conduction between the grippers and a boss. The control unit includes a calculator for calculating the position of a central axis of the mount from coordinates where the conduction between the holder and the boss is detected when the moving unit is controlled to bring the grippers into contact with the mount at at least three points, and a mounting/dismounting controller for mounting and dismounting the cutting blade while the central axis of the blade chuck is aligned with the central axis of the mount calculated by the calculator.

An electrospindle includes a motor for moving a tool and a motor shaft for transmitting motion from the motor to the tool. The electrospindle has a gripping head of the tool and a coupling of the tool to the motor shaft, and the gripping head includes two flanges, between which a portion of the tool and at least one thrust nut of a first flange can be interposed toward a counterflange, so as to hold the tool in position. The transmission has a free end threaded so as to receive the at least one thrust nut by screwing, the thread of the free end being double with a first right-handed thread and a second left-handed thread.

There is provided a cutting apparatus that cuts a workpiece by a cutting blade. The cutting apparatus includes a chuck table that holds a board in which a groove is formed through cutting of the board by the cutting blade, a cutting unit having a spindle and a mount flange that is fixed to a tip part of the spindle and on which the cutting blade is mounted, and a replacement apparatus that replaces the cutting blade mounted on the mount flange with the cutting blade stored in a blade storing part and replaces the board placed on the chuck table with the board stored in a board storing part. The replacement apparatus includes a holding part that holds the cutting blade and the board under suction.

The present embodiment discloses a hand-held tool and a clamping device thereof. The clamping device of a hand-held tool includes: a mounting base; a clamping unit configured to fasten a working tool in an axial direction; and an operation assembly, including an operating member and a driving member, where the operating member is capable of performing compound motion relative to the mounting base, and the operating member is operable to drive the driving member to selectively mate with and disengage from the clamping unit. In this way, the hand-held tool of the present embodiment has the clamping device. By way of compound motion, not only comfort of operation can be achieved, but also parts can be saved, thereby making the structure simpler and more reliable.

A work tool includes a spindle, a clamp shaft, a holding member, an engagement member and a first biasing member. The holding member has a pass-through part. The engagement member is rotatable around a driving axis relative to the holding member between a first position in which the engagement member is allowed to pass through the pass-through part and a second position in which the engagement member is engaged with the holding member. The engagement member allows the clamp shaft to move in an up-down direction relative to the holding member when located in the first position, and to prevent the clamp shaft from moving downward relative to the holding member when located in the second position. The holding member is configured to fixedly hold the clamp shaft relative to the spindle while being biased upward by the first biasing member, with the engagement member in the second position.

A quick clamping device for a portable machine tool, in particular an angle grinder, includes at least one output shaft, at least one clamping unit, at least one operating unit, and at least one securing unit. The clamping unit, for the purpose of fixing an insert bit to the output shaft without using tools, includes at least one clamping element for applying a clamping force to the bit in a clamping position. The operating unit moves the clamping element into the clamping position and/or into a release position in which the insert bit can be removed from the clamping unit and/or the output shaft. The securing unit is designed to prevent movement of the clamping element from the clamping position into the release position at least under the action of a force decoupled from the operating unit and acting on the clamping element in the direction of the release position.
