Abstract: A fly-cutter milling machine for the simultaneous milling of a plurality of grooves (12) in rotating workpieces (2) by means of a fly cutter (3) which protrudes radially outwards on a rotating tool holder, the speed of revolution of the tool holder and the speed of revolution of the workpiece being in a ratio which is determined by the number of grooves of the workpiece. In order to obtain optimum operation with the groove profile precisely adapted to the tool cutting edge, the rotation of the workpiece (2) is briefly interrupted at the moment of the maximum depth of plunge of the fly cutter (3) by a phase of reduced speed of the workpiece (2).

Abstract: A handle for tools, specifically for screwdrivers, is disclosed. The handle consists of two materials of different hardness, of which the harder material supporting the tool is incompressible under the forces occurring at operational load, whereas the other material permits slight elastic deformations under forces of load. In order to obtain a hand-sympathetic design which nevertheless transmits high torques, the two gripping zones of softer material are situated adjacent to a gripping zone of harder material located between them.

Abstract: A method of milling, with at least one milling cutter, teeth surfaces at an axial free end of a continuously rotatably driven workpiece comprising the steps of cutting the teeth on the continuously driven workpiece with axial relative movement between the workpiece and the milling cutter by rotating the milling cutter with constant speed relative to the rpm pf the workpiece and in the direction of an axial face of the free end of the workpiece, by the rotating milling cutter milling a roof-like surface on one side of the teeth of the workpiece always starting from an axially inwardly located basde of the teeth in a direction toward a ridge of the teeth in every milling, the roof-like surfaces of each tooth tapering toward each other away from the base of said each tooth toward the ridge adjacent the axial face of the free end of the workpiece.

Abstract: A chuck for non-circular ends of tool shanks having a bushing forming a chamber corresponding in cross-section to the tool shank and a ball which acts on the shank and is clamped by a spring biased sleeve which forms a wedge against the ball. The ball is mounted in a separate wing which is engaged by the sleeve and is displaceable relative to the bushing so that the ball engages a clamping surface formed by an end ring and the tool shank in a clamping position.
