Abstract: A cutting tool lubrication system, suitable for use with portable, hand-held machine tools, automatically delivers single, pre-measured shots of oil to the cutting tool each time the operator powers up the machine tool. The lubrication system is carried on or with the tool and is operated by the same power source that drives the machine tool, such as compressed air. The lubrication system includes a lubricating fluid reservoir, a fluid pump, and a series of check valves for controlling the flow of fluid between the reservoir, the pump and a nozzle from which the fluid is dispensed.

Abstract: A vacuum-mounted clamp for clamping a first component to a second component. The clamp includes a substantially rigid body having an application face, a back face opposite the application face, a side, and a vacuum port extending between the application face and the back face. The application face has a step adjacent the side for engaging the first component. The clamp includes a flexible seal connected to the rigid body adjacent the application face. The seal has a vacuum port in fluid communication with the vacuum port in the primary body and a periphery for contacting the second component to create a vacuum area between the clamp and the second component. The vacuum port of the body and the seal are in fluid communication with a vacuum generator for generating a vacuum in the vacuum area.
