A hole saw comprising a cylindrical unit with an expanse in a longitudinal direction, the cylindrical unit being rotation-symmetrical about a center axis, which has an expanse in the longitudinal direction. The cylindrical unit is attached to a mounting device at one end and has a processing edge at the opposite end. The cylindrical unit is made of a homogeneous material provided to process the material to be holed by means of grinding via the processing edge.

A control method for using a core drilling system is disclosed. In an embodiment the method includes detecting a predetermined drilling situation on the basis of the attainment of a predetermined threshold value for at least one predetermined corresponding drilling parameter and ending the core drilling operation by selecting a reverse-travel mode for removing the drilling tool from the borehole if the advancing device does not reach a predetermined threshold value for a predetermined corresponding distance value in a direction and the core drilling machine does not reach a predetermined threshold value for at least one predetermined corresponding drilling parameter or continuing the core drilling operation by selecting a predetermined operating mode if the advancing device reaches a predetermined threshold value for a predetermined corresponding distance value in a direction and the core drilling machine reaches a predetermined threshold value for at least one predetermined corresponding drilling parameter.

A cutting section (11) which is connectable to a drill shaft section via a releasable connecting device. The cutting section includes a first open tubular element (14) which is in the form of a first hollow cylinder having a first waved, trapezoidal or zigzag-shaped cross-sectional area, a second closed tubular element (15) which is in the form of a second hollow cylinder having a circular ring-shaped cross-sectional area, and one or more drill segments (16) which are connected to the first open tubular element (14) and to the second closed tubular element (15).

A tool head capable of introducing deep recesses into hard and brittle material such as glass and glass ceramics is provided. The tool head includes a hollow cylindrical abrasive body merging into a hollow shank. The hollow cylindrical abrasive body has an end face with a central abrasive area at the location of a cylinder axis. The central abrasive area is connected with the inner wall surface of the hollow cylindrical abrasive body by at least one web. The end face of the abrasive body, the web, and at least a portion of the outer wall surface of the abrasive body are covered with abrasive. The hollow shank has at least one opening to the interior between the at least one web and the inner wall surface of the abrasive body.

A method for producing a cutting section from a closed tubular element (14) which is in the form of a hollow cylinder and from one or more drill segments (16) which are connected to the closed tubular element (14).

A wall magnet anchor system is used to install magnetic anchors in wall material that can be used to magnetically hold an object to the wall, thereby avoiding the need to a conventional hook that is protrudes from the surface of the wall. The anchor can include a helical thread to hold the anchor in the wall. An installation tool includes a cutting features at one end for cutting a hole in a wall to receive an anchor, and an installation feature that engages the anchor an allows a user to drive the anchor, through rotation, into the hole cut by the cutting features.

Methods and apparatus for forming an aperture in a composite component are provided. For example, a method for forming an aperture in a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) component comprises, based on a final dimension of the aperture, selecting a tool having a tool size and a cutting surface; selecting an angle at which to cut the component with the tool; cutting a back surface of the component with the tool, the cutting surface positioned at the angle; repositioning the tool relative to the component; and cutting the aperture through to its final dimension. The tool may be a core drill with a diameter within a range of 60% to 90% of the aperture final dimension. The angle may be within a range of 10 to 60 with respect to the back surface. The aperture may be cut through to its final dimension from a front surface of the component.
