ABRASIVE ROTARY TOOL WITH EXPANDABLE COLLET
The disclosure is generally directed to abrasive rotary tools capable of expanding into a substrate. Exemplary abrasive rotary tools include an expandable collet configured to expand an abrasive surface of the abrasive rotary tool. The expandable collet may be positioned proximate to a multi-planar edge of a substrate, such as a hole, and expanded into the edge to more fully and/or evenly contact the edge of the substrate. In this way, an abrasive rotary tool may more quickly and/or consistently abrade the edge.
Method and apparatus for retaining a tool in a tool holder
Tool holder has a first section adapted to be connected to a machining center and a tool holding section comprising a bore with a surface defining an inner diameter of the bore. Dispersed around the surface of the bore and at least partially embedded in the surface of the bore is a joining compound having a Young's modulus greater than a Young's modulus of the surface of the bore.

Clamping system and base, collet chuck and rotary tool therefor and method for mounting the rotary tool in the clamping system
The invention provides a clamping system (1) for a rotary tool (70), for example a milling cutter or drill. The clamping system (1) includes a base element (10), a collet (30) and a clamping nut (50), said clamping nut (50) friction-locking the rotary tool (70) within the base element (10) with the collet (30). In order to avoid a relative rotation of the base element (10) and the collet (30), the clamping system (1) has a form locking anti-twist protection which blocks a rotation of the collet (30) relative to the base element (10).
