An accessory for coupling to an attachment mechanism of an oscillating power tool includes a working end, an opposite rear end, and a fitment portion adjacent the rear end portion. The fitment portion includes a central opening having a central portion and a rearward portion open to the rear end, and configured to receive a post of a tool clamping mechanism. The fitment portion further includes a first plurality of openings in communication with and extending radially outward from the central portion, a second plurality of openings not in communication with and positioned radially outward from the central portion. The central portion, the first plurality of openings, and the second plurality of openings are configured to couple the fitment portion to a plurality of different configurations of attachment mechanisms for oscillating power tools.

An accessory for coupling to an oscillating power tool includes a working end portion and an attachment portion. The working end portion defines and extends along a working axis. The attachment portion is coupled to the working end portion and includes a top wall, a bottom wall spaced apart from the top wall, and a peripheral wall extending from the top wall to the bottom wall at least partially around the top wall to form at least a portion of a polygonal shape. A generally U-shaped opening is defined in the top wall, extends along an attachment axis at an angle to the working axis, has a central portion at a center of the attachment portion, and is open to a gap in the peripheral wall. A plurality of radial openings is defined in the top wall and arranged between the U-shaped opening and the peripheral wall. The peripheral wall, the U-shaped opening, and the plurality of radial openings are configured to couple the attachment portion to at least two different configurations of accessory attachment mechanisms on different oscillating power tools.

A work tool includes a spindle and a clamp shaft. The spindle is supported to be rotatable around a driving axis defining an up-down direction of the work tool. The clamp shaft includes a shaft part and a fixing part. The shaft part extends coaxially with the spindle. The fixing part is coupled to the shaft part on a lower side of the spindle. The clamp shaft is supported to be movable in the up-down direction relative to the spindle. The clamp shaft is configured to be biased upward and to fix the tool accessory to a lower end portion of the spindle by the fixing par. The fixing part is configured to be removable from the shaft part and to be integrally coupled to the shaft part only by moving upward relative to the shaft part.

The invention relates to a rotary tool (1; 101; 201) for cutting large inside diameters at the outer circumference (2) of which at least one cutting edge (4) is arranged, comprising a support structure (10; 110; 210) which indirectly or directly supports the at least one cutting edge (4), and comprising a chucking portion (24) for coupling to a tool holder, wherein the support structure (10; 110; 210) widens in an umbrella-type manner starting from a coupling portion (11) adjacent to the chucking portion (24) and is radially stiffened by a stiffening structure (12).

The invention relates to a rotary tool (1; 101; 201; 301; 401) for cutting large inside diameters at the outer circumference (2) of which at least one cutting edge (4; 104; 204) is arranged, comprising a support structure (10; 110; 210; 310; 410) which includes a supporting area (14; 114; 214) which indirectly or directly supports the cutting edge (4; 104; 204), and comprising a chucking portion (24; 124; 224; 324; 424) for coupling to a tool holder, wherein the support structure (10; 110; 210; 310; 410) is designed in light-weight construction and the area (14; 114; 214) of the support structure (10; 110; 210; 310; 410) indirectly or directly supporting the cutting edge (4; 104; 204) is limited regarding thermal expansion by a corset structure (12; 112; 212; 312; 412).
