An oscillating blade for cutting or shaping sheet materials such as drywall, with a blade, a sharing portion, a depth gauge for determining depth of cut, a caliper portion for premarking sheet materials for a standard dimension cut, and a reverse direction blade.

A manufacturing cell comprises a machine tool that has a tool carrier carrying a tool unit and has two adjacent workpiece paths oriented in a longitudinal direction. The tool unit can be displaced relative to a machine bed of the machine tool in a transverse direction and in a vertical direction. At least one workpiece carriage per workpiece path can be displaced in the longitudinal direction along the machine tool. The tool unit can be displaced in the longitudinal direction relative to the machine bed and/or relative to the workpiece carriages. The tool carrier overhangs or projects beyond the workpiece paths. The individual workpiece carriage can also be displaced in the longitudinal direction along the workpiece supply. Furthermore, the workpiece supply has at least one lowerable or tiltable stop device per workpiece path.

Exemplary accessories for use with woodworking supports of woodworking devices may include a fence for a drill press. The fence may include a plurality of magnetic couplers, a base, and a stop block. An exemplary stop block may include a bearing.

A positioning device includes a support member configured to carry a workpiece, a plurality of pins positioned on the support member, and a plurality of telescoping mechanisms positioned on the support member. Each of the telescoping mechanisms comprises a driving member and a rotating member connected to the driving member. The positioning pins slidably pass through the support member and are pivotably connected to an opposite end of the rotating member. The rotating member rotates relative to the support member via the driving member to adjust an extending length of the positioning pins relative to the support member.

An oscillating blade including a shank having a tool mounting end and a blade end, the shank defining a longitudinal shank axis extending from an oscillation axis of the tool mounting end, the longitudinal shank axis defining a longitudinal direction. The oscillating blade also includes a first shank extension extending from the blade end in a first lateral direction and having a first cutting edge directed in a first cutting direction, and a second shank extension extending from the blade end in a second lateral direction and having a second cutting edge directed in a second cutting direction. The oscillating blade also includes a shaving edge disposed on the blade end. The first shank extension is spaced from the second shank extension in the longitudinal direction, and the shaving edge is at least partially disposed between the first shank extension and the second shank extension in the longitudinal direction.

The invention relates to a clamping arrangement with a clamping device (1) which is able to be fastened on a clamping base, and with a clamping element (26) able to be tightened thereon. The clamping device (1) has a clamping module (2), provided with clamping members (15), which is able to be fixed by means of a fixing element (3) on the clamping base, wherein the fixing element (3) is configured such that the clamping module (2) is thus fixed in the X-Y plane in a floating manner on the clamping base. The clamping module (2) is displaceable in the fixed state of the fixing element (3) with respect to the fixing element (3) in the X-Y plane, but is non-displaceable in Z-direction, wherein the fixing element (3) is provided with Z-support surfaces (24) for the clamping element (26). Such a clamping arrangement is suitable in a particularly advantageous manner as a module for constructing a large clamping system, with which thermally caused dimension changes of the workpiece carrier with respect to the clamping base can be equalized with high repeat accuracy, without the clamping system being overconstrained geometrically/mechanically in the X-Y plane.

A method of monitoring a tool clamping device mounted on a machine spindle, the clamping force of which tool clamping device is generated by a spring assembly which exerts a force in the direction of the clamping position on an actuating element actuating the clamping or the release of a tool or tool holder. In the method, the spring force and the displacement of the actuating element are continuously measured during the release and/or clamping of a tool or tool holder and recorded as functions of the time. These recorded functions are used to identify at least one parameter characteristic for the status of the tool clamping device. Based on the spring force and the displacement over time, a spring characteristic curve is plotted in the form of the spring force as a function of displacement, the analysis of which spring characteristic curve provides information about a number of characteristic parameters.

A working height adjustment device of a processing machine includes a retaining frame, a slide seat, and a lever having a connecting rod pivoted between the retaining frame and the slide seat. An adjustment seat of the slide seat has an accommodation hole. The accommodation hole is provided with an elastic member, a movable member, and an eccentric rod. The movable member has an engaging hole. The engaging hole has a diameter greater than that of a micro adjustment screw rod. The engaging hole has a toothed portion. Thereby, the eccentric rod is turned to push or release the movable member for the toothed portion of the engaging hole to engage with or disengage from a threaded section of the micro adjustment screw rod, such that the micro adjustment screw rod is tuned or the lever is pulled up and down to adjust the cutter seat quickly.

A spindle phase indexing device for a machine tool is equipped with a guide rail detachably or fixedly attached to a table, a phase indexing jig configured to travel on the guide rail and which includes a first fitting part, a cutting tool including a second fitting part configured to be fitted with the first fitting part, and a controller configured to store therein a phase of a spindle at a point in time when the first fitting part and the second fitting part are fitted together. The first fitting part and the second fitting part are formed such that rotation of the cutting tool is constrained when the first fitting part and the second fitting part are fitted together.

A drill limit system includes a holder having drill stops removably coupled thereto and configured to receive a drill bit therethrough, and a platform coupled to the holder and configured to engage a tip end of the drill bits when received through the drill stops, wherein the holder and platform are movable relative to each other so that the position of the drill stops relative to the drill bits may be selectively varied. A method for attaching drill stops to a drill bit includes providing a holder and a platform movable relative to each other, the holder having a plurality of drill stops removably coupled thereto, inserting a plurality of drill bits through respective drill stops, moving the holder and platform relative to each other to select a desired height of the drill stops on the bits, and engaging the drill stops to the drill bits at the selected height.
