A four-hole core drilling machine of the invention includes a vertically reciprocating carriage mounted to a body, a motor coupled to the carriage, a fixing plate coupled to the carriage, to rotatably support a drive shaft of the motor, a pivoting plate fastened to the fixing plate under the condition that a pivot angle of the pivoting plate is changed, a drive pulley coupled to the drive shaft, to be rotatable by the drive shaft, four driven pulleys rotatably mounted to the pivoting plate near corners of the pivoting plate, four driven shafts rotatably mounted to the pivoting plate and coupled to the four driven pulleys, to be rotatable by the driven pulleys, a belt mounted around the drive pulley and the driven pulleys, to transmit rotation force of the drive pulley to the driven pulleys, and four core bits coupled to lower ends of the driven shafts.

In one respect, the invention is a coring machine for removing portions of food item blanks, the coring machine including a plate assembly for holding the food item blanks and a pair of coring assemblies, each having a plurality of coring bits that are aligned with passages in the plate assembly.

A reduction of a bend of a drill during processing is achieved. A drilling device includes: a spindle for rotating a drill so that the drill processes an object; a parallel link mechanism configured to adjust a direction of the spindle; a force sensor configured to detect a moment from the object and about an axis perpendicular to an axial direction of the spindle while the object is processed; and a control section configured to control the parallel link mechanism on the basis of the moment detected by the force sensor so that the parallel link mechanism adjusts a direction of the spindle.

The tool holding device includes: a casing including a first surface, a second surface opposed to the first surface, and a first projection and a second projection projecting opposite to the first surface from the second surface; a first tool holding part disposed on the first surface at a position opposed to the first projection; a second tool holding part disposed on the first surface at a position opposed to the second projection; a driving-force input unit disposed at the end of the first projection and rotated by driving force being inputted; a first shaft extending in an axial direction perpendicular to the first surface and the second surface, the driving-force input unit and the first tool holding part being disposed at one end and the other end of the first shaft, respectively; a second shaft extending in the axial direction and having one end housed in the second projection, the second tool holding part being disposed at the other end of the second shaft; and a rotation transmitting unit rotating the second shaft in response to rotation of the first shaft.

A drill press has variable speed drive via belts on stepped pulleys that transfer rotational force from the motor to the drill press spindle. Three stepped pulleys connected by two belts are provided in the example. A belt tension roller is bears against one of the belts to provide tension for effective power transfer from the motor to the spindle. The belt tension roller is adjustable along an arcuate slot in an anchor plate and is fastenable in position by an adjustment knob on the belt tension roller. The middle pulley is mounted to vary its position so that tension adjustments on one belt by the belt tension roller result in tension adjustments on the second belt as well.
