  • Publication number: 20140193218
    Abstract: A tool for machining work pieces includes a base body and at least first and second operating slides, slidable with respect to the base body. The first operating slide carries a machining element. At least one balancing pendulum can be pivoted with respect to the base body. A first coupling device connects the first operating slide and the second operating slide and is pivotably hinged to the first operating slide and the second operating slide. A second coupling device connects the first coupling device and the balancing pendulum. The second coupling device is pivotably hinged to the first coupling device at a hinge point. The second coupling device is pivotably mounted around a rotation axis of the tool. Displacement of the first operating slide resultantly displaces the second operating slide in an opposite direction relative to the rotation axis of the tool.

  • Patent number: 8628278
    Abstract: A drill having end-face major surfaces, contiguous faces descending from the major cutting edges and flanks contiguous to the major cutting edges. Center cutting edges are formed by end-face taperings. A chisel cutting edge is between the center cutting edges. Shapes of the cutting edges are disclosed. First ones of the flanks are angled to create an outward apex angle so that the major cutting edges and the center cutting edges run at a constant taper angle.

  • Publication number: 20130307178
    Abstract: A drilling tool for producing drill holes includes a tip and a shaft arranged opposite the tip in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the drilling tool. The drilling tool has at least one geometrically defined cutting edge in the tip area, and has an expanded diameter trailing the tip in a longitudinal direction from the tip. The drilling tool has a first area with a first diameter that precedes the expanded diameter, and a second area with a second diameter, larger than the first diameter, that trails the expanded diameter. The drilling tool is distinguished in that the expanded diameter and/or the second area is/are embodied such that chips are produced in the area of the expanded diameter and/or in the second area when a workpiece is machined, chips consistent with those produced when a workpiece is machined with a geometrically undefined cutting edge.

  • Patent number: 8430004
    Abstract: A tool holder includes a hollow taper shank chucking device having a center axis, a chucking device, a tension rod which cooperates with the chucking device and an actuating unit by means of which the tension rod may be actuated, i.e., displaced. The actuating unit has an actuating element which is movable at an angle relative to the center axis and which includes at least one actuating part. The angle may be 90°. The tension rod is provided with at least one engagement part.
