Abstract: A tile cutter includes a base, and a cutting head assembly including a supporting arm having one end pivotally connected to the base and an opposite end connected to the saw base for enabling the cutting head assembly to be biased relative to the base and selectively positioned in a standby position, a cutting position or a received position. When shifting the cutting head assembly from the standby position to the cutting position, the supporting arm is received by a stopper to limit the cutting depth of the cutting head assembly. When shifting the cutting head assembly from the cutting position to the received position, the stopper is moved to release the supporting arm. When the cutting head assembly is shifted to the received position, a part of the saw base and the saw blade are received in a sink in the base.

Abstract: A milling device is provided, having a milling tool that rotates about a tool rotation axis, wherein the milling device has a slide, and in that the milling tool is held on a pivot axis that extends transversely, in particular perpendicular, to the tool rotation axis and through the slide, wherein the slide is designed and the position of the milling tool is selected such that, during milling, a traversing movement is effected by manually moving the slide and advance is effected by pivoting the milling tool about the pivot axis. Also provided is a method for milling within a slot of a component, in particular within a blade root receiving slot of a turbomachine, using a milling device.

Abstract: Manufacturing a collapse resistant hose arrangement includes fabricating a hose around a flexible conduit having a spiral-wound interlock configuration. Fabricating the hose includes extruding a first polymer layer over the flexible conduit; cooling the first polymer layer; extruding a second polymer layer over the first polymer layer after the first polymer layer has cooled to form a core tube around the flexible conduit; and extruding an outer sheath around the core tube. In certain examples, the first polymer layer is sufficiently thin as to not flow into an interfering relationship with the spiral-wound interlock configuration of the flexible conduit during cooling.

Abstract: The invention relates to a motor-driven hand tool for machining of workpieces, in particular planar workpieces, having a guide surface which can be placed on the workpiece to be treated, and a face milling cutter for processing which projects past the guide surface, and which has an axis of rotation extending perpendicularly to the guide surface.
