A core drill includes a housing, a first handle extending from the housing and defining a gap between the handle and the housing, a motor supported within the housing, and a battery removably coupled to the housing and configured to provide power to the motor. The battery has an output voltage greater than 40 volts. The core drill further includes a spindle configured to rotate about a rotational axis in response to torque received from the motor and a fluid delivery system configured to supply fluid to the spindle. The fluid delivery system includes a valve operable to regulate a flow of fluid to the spindle and an auxiliary handle removably coupleable to the housing at each of a first mounting point and a second mounting point.

Indexable plenum

An indexable plenum and a method of using the plenum to collect dust and/or debris during a cutting or milling process are disclosed. The plenum, when attached to the spindle nose of a conventional machine, enables the conventional machine that does not have a hollow spindle nose to be used with a hollow or conventional solid cutter to remove dust and/or debris generated during the cutting process. The indexable plenum comprises a hollow body and a base plate. Hollow bodies of different shape and size that are able to fit differently shaped and sized cutters are disclosed. The hollow bodies can be designed to releasably engage with the same base plate such that when the base plate is attached to the machine spindle nose, hollow bodies can be exchanged during a milling or cutting process to accommodate correspondingly shaped/sized cutters. In various embodiments, the object that is cut or milled is low density foam.

QUICK-CHANGE CLAMPING UNIT FOR TOOLHOLDER AND METHOD OF USING SAME
20190009381 · 2019-01-10 ·

A clamping unit includes a drawbar having an interior surface defining a fluid transport channel. A fluid transport pipe is at least partially disposed within the interior of the drawbar and is in fluid communication with a fluid transport adapter and a fluid transport channel to enable high pressure fluid to be provided directly to a toolholder. The clamping unit further comprises at least one spring-like member positioned around the outer surface of the drawbar to provide a biasing force against an end plate. The drawbar is movable along a longitudinal axis between a locked position and a tool release position by applying and not applying hydraulic pressure against the end plate, thereby providing a quick-change feature of the invention.

Miniaturized deburring and/or chamfering tool with internal cooling
10137508 · 2018-11-27 · ·

Miniaturized deburring and/or chamfering tool with a cylindrical guide sleeve (2) in which a blade holder base body (5) is arranged in an exchangeable manner, which has at least one receiving slot (20) for receiving and guiding a blade (6) arranged there, which is leaf-shaped and designed so that it can bend along its longitudinal axis, and which, at its free front end, has a cutting head (7) with a deburring or chamfering blade arranged there, wherein an internal cooling of the blade (6) and removal of shavings from the blade (6) are achieved by the fact that the coolant flows around the blade (6) in the receiving slot (20) on at least two facing sides.

Air cooled spindle exhaust air redirection system for enhanced machining byproduct recovery

A drilling byproduct recovery system employs a vacuum shroud positioned adjacent a workpiece. A spindle extends from a base and engages a tool. The spindle vertically reciprocates the tool upwardly through an aperture in the vacuum shroud to engage the workpiece. A circumferential air jet is emitted proximate a base of the spindle and directed toward the vacuum shroud.

Rotary power tool

A power tool includes a housing with a motor housing portion and a drive housing portion, a handle extending from the housing and defining a gap between the handle and the housing, a motor located within the motor housing portion having a motor output shaft, a fan coupled to the motor output shaft, a battery to provide power to the motor, a trigger coupled to the handle and manipulable to energize the motor, a spindle extending within the drive housing portion and driven by the motor output shaft to rotate about an axis, and a fluid delivery system configured to supply a fluid to the spindle. The housing includes an air intake opening and a deflector to inhibit the fluid from entering the housing through the air intake opening, and rotation of the fan draws an airflow into the housing through the air intake opening.
