A clamping device includes a clamping chuck and a clamping element, which can be clamped thereto. The clamping chuck has a receiving opening for the clamping element and clamping members for clamping the clamping element in the receiving opening. The clamping element is elongated, while the clamping chuck is provided with an elongated receiving opening for the clamping element. A resiliently flexible centering element, which aligns the clamping element in response to the insertion into the receiving opening at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the receiving opening, is arranged on the clamping chuck in the insertion area of the receiving opening. Such a clamping device is suitable in clamping systems by means of which large to very large workpiece carriers can be clamped in the work area of a machine tool in a repeatably accurate manner.

A tap holder having a simple structure and high runout accuracy is provided. A tap holder includes: a body having a collet holder hole having an opening toward distal end; a tap collet received in the collet holder hole, the tap collet having a tap mounting hole located at a distal end portion, and a sleeve hole located at a basal end portion; a torque transmission mechanism that transmits rotation of the body to the tap collet; a first elastic body disposed between the body and the tap collet to urge the tap collet toward distal end; a sleeve disposed to the body by received in the sleeve hole to prevent the tap collet from slipping off toward distal end; and a second elastic body disposed between the sleeve and the tap collet to urge the tap collet toward basal end.

A cutting system for removing an excess material along a length of a channel constructed using an additive manufacturing process is disclosed. In various embodiments, the cutting system includes a cutter head; a cutter blade attached to the cutter head; a drive cable configured to rotate the cutter head; and a cutter base attached to the cutter head and having a cutter base outer surface configured to contact an internal surface within the channel to guide the cutter blade against the excess material.

An extension assembly configured to permit a user to drill a hole through inaccessible areas in a wall is disclosed. The extension assembly includes a flexible, solid core rod having first and second ends and a holding means. The rod is configured to extend through a hole in a wall cavity and flex therein to position a tool bit at an inaccessible location in the wall cavity and permit a user to drill a hole through a substrate at the inaccessible location. The holding means is secured to the second end of the rod for releasably holding a tool bit for rotation with the rod and includes a sleeve adapted to slide axially along a body of the holding means between a secured position where a tool bit is securely held within the holding means and a release position where the tool bit is released from the holding means.

A flexible coupling for attaching a collet to a draw bar includes a draw bar having a first longitudinal axis and a first coupling portion. The first coupling portion includes two or more legs spaced apart from one another with each of the legs having first coupling surface formed thereon. The flexible coupling includes a collet having a second longitudinal axis and a clamping portion proximate one end of the collet. The collet includes a second coupling portion proximate a second end of the collet. The second coupling portion has a second coupling surface formed thereon and configured in a shape complementary to the first coupling surface so that the first coupling surfaces moveably engage the second coupling surface such that the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis are coaxial when an axial force is applied to the draw bar and the collet.

A drill bit stabilizer and a method of drilling holes through work surfaces. The drill bit stabilizer includes an adhesive strip with a drill guide hole portion extending outwardly therefrom. The adhesive strip with the drill guide hole portion is preferably transparent and portable for placement on a surface through which a hole is to be drilled. The method includes the steps of providing an adhesive strip with a drill guide hole portion extending therefrom; positioning the adhesive strip on a surface; releasably mounting the adhesive strip to the surface; inserting a drill bit attached to a drill motor into the drill guide hole portion; drilling a hole through the drill guide hole portion and into the surface beneath it; and removing the adhesive strip from the surface after the hole has been drilled.

The present invention relates to the technical field of hand-held tools. Disclosed is a hand-held power tool, comprising: a housing; a motor; a chuck assembly; and a transmission mechanism having a drive shaft. The chuck assembly comprises a main body, a jaw, and an adjustment member threadedly connected to the jaw. The power tool has a drilling mode in which the main body, the jaw and the adjustment member rotate together, and an auto chuck mode in which the adjustment member and the main body can rotate relative to each other to realize opening and closing of the jaw. The power tool further comprises a first supporting member and a second supporting member used to rotatably support the main body at the housing. The first supporting member and the second supporting member are at least partially overlapped with the jaw in an axial direction of the drive shaft, such that the power tool is structurally compact in the axial direction. The main body is provided with an accommodation cavity therein. The first supporting member is positioned in the accommodation cavity, such that the tool is also structurally compact in a radial direction.

A machining tool for deburring boreholes, which lead laterally into a recess, comprising: a shaft; a cutting head with at least one circumferential cutting blade associated with a chip groove and having a cutting edge extending, at least in sections, in an axial direction, and which can perform a cutting process by virtue of relative movement between the tool and a workpiece, and which lies on a virtual cylindrical rotation surface; and at least one cutting-blade-free and chip-groove-free surface area; at least one fluid channel closed on the cutting head side, extending through the shaft into the cutting head; and at least one branch channel with an outlet opening. The outlet opening is in a dynamic pressure active surface radially set back relative to the virtual rotation surface, and is larger than a flow cross-sectional area of the at least one branch channel at the outlet opening.

Apparatus for machining a component of a gas turbine engine, the apparatus including: a flexible pipe having a first end and a second end and defining a conduit for receiving a fluid; one or more first actuators arranged to enable the first end of the flexible pipe to be re-positioned relative to the second end of the flexible pipe; a turbine positioned adjacent to the first end of the flexible pipe, the turbine being arranged to receive fluid from the conduit of the flexible pipe; and a tool head coupled to the first end of the flexible pipe, the tool head including: a fastener arranged to fasten to a tool and to receive torque from the turbine.
