Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a system comprising a machine tool, a centerable holder, and a drill. The machine tool comprises a spindle and a tool holder. The centerable holder is pointed at the spindle of the machine tool. The centerable holder defining a pair of horizontal adjusters and a pair of vertical adjusters.

A reducing sleeve for fastening a machining tool in a tool holder is described. Said reducing sleeve comprises a reducing sleeve body, which comprises a first tool-side end and a second tool holder-side end. In addition, at least one coolant supply channel is provided in the reducing sleeve body. Furthermore, a multifunctional interface is arranged at the second end and is designed for coupling to a sealing unit and a safety unit. Additionally presented is a modular system for providing a reducing sleeve assembly, which comprises such a reducing sleeve, a sealing unit, and a safety unit. In addition, a machining assembly with a tool holder, a reducing sleeve, and a machining tool is presented.

The present invention relates to a drill head design for powered tools. The drill head includes a coupling portion for securely and mechanically coupling to an air-powered tool, the coupling portion has a female port for receiving the gear drive from the air-powered tool. The drill head has a chuck portion that releasably holds a drill bit for performing assembling, drilling, cutting, and more without using large and bulky drills. The drill is releasably attached to the air-powered tool and comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. The drill head is configured to convert any air-powered tool into a drilling tool and enables the users to drill faster, accommodate smaller angles, and reach into confined spaces.

A rotary cutting tool includes a tool shank, a replaceable cutting head mounted on the tool shank, a coupling pin, and an actuation member. In one embodiment, the coupling pin has a cylindrical portion with a reduced-diameter portion defined by a pair of angled side walls separated by a bottom surface for cooperating with a non-threaded portion at one end of the actuation member. In another embodiment, the coupling pin has a cylindrical portion with a notch with a pair of side walls for cooperating with a frustoconical member at one end of the actuation member. When assembled, a pair of V-shaped contact surfaces on the cutting head engage a pair of oppositely facing V-shaped contact surfaces on the tool shank to provide stability against the momentum created by cutting forces in two different directions and securely hold the cutting head in place during machining operations.

A tool gripping mechanism includes a tool holder and a shaft to which the tool holder is attached. The shaft is fixed to a rotary shaft of a spindle device. A plurality of magnets are disposed in pairs on concentric circles on surfaces of the tool holder and the shaft which face each other. When the tool holder is in a specific phase with respect to the shaft, the magnets of the tool holder and the magnets of the shaft attract each other, and the tool holder is aligned with respect to the shaft in that phase.

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.

Disclosed is an integrated tapping and drill attachment which includes a predetermined tapping configuration or mode which provides the desired flexibility for tapping, and also a predetermined drilling configuration or mode which provides the desired concentric and axial guidance as well as the desired rigidity for drilling operations.

An illuminated tool bit assembly for illuminating a work area for a drill without casting a shadow includes a tool bit that can be inserted into a chuck of a power drill. The tool bit has a well integrated therein for insertably receiving an additional tool bit. A cylinder is provided and the tool bit extends through the cylinder. A lighting unit is integrated into the cylinder to emit light outwardly from the cylinder when the lighting unit is turned on. In this way the lighting unit can illuminate the work area without casting a shadow.
