Abstract: A bench type milling cutter includes a bearing block assembly which is a bearing block assembly which is carried by a carrier and which is linearly vertically adjustable relative to the carrier by means of a manual actuator. The carrier, in turn, is mounted on a slide for rotation relative to the slide within a vertical plane containing the tool axis, such rotation created by a manual actuator. The slide is movable horizontally relative to the work bench so that the tool may be displaced horizontally in relation to the workpiece.

Abstract: A guide device for a tool such as a manual planing machine or a manual milling machine comprises a compass point connected to the tool by several guide rods. Curving or circular working processes are possible with this guide device. The compass point is preferably supported in a connecting piece connected to the guide rods, with the guide rods passing through the housing of the working tool. A sliding block additionally arranged on the guide rods carries the weight of the working tool and assures a constant, uniform working depth. When processing edges, the guide rods connected with the working tool may be mounted on an angle piece, which by means of further rods is connected with the connecting piece carrying the compass point.

Abstract: A percussion tool such as a hammer head comprises a housing for receiving a tool. A rotary drive mechanism rotates the tool about a longitudinal axis. A strike bolt is arranged for impacting against the tool. A cylinder sleeve is mounted coaxially with the longitudinal axis. A piston is slidable within the sleeve and is arranged to impact against the strike bolt. An impact drive mechanism is provided for imparting sliding movement to the piston toward the strike bolt. The impact drive mechanism comprises a wobble drive member mounted for longitudinal reciprocal movement and for rotary movement about an inclined axis disposed at an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis. The wobble drive member is operably connected to the cylinder sleeve and to the rotary drive means to be driven thereby about the inclined axis so as to be longitudinally reciprocated. Thus, the rotary forces and impacting forces are derived from the same source.

Abstract: A manual planing or milling tool having a rotary driven cutter is displaceable longitudinally along a fixedly arranged guide rail. The tool is connected with a holder which carries a running part sliding on the guide rail. The holder may be guided pivotingly or nonpivotingly with respect to the guide rail. The guide rail may be fastened to a workpiece support bar rotatable by 180.degree. so that the processing tool may be used in two different positions. The workpiece support bar may have two different surfaces, one being smooth for the working of large workpieces, while the other having grooves to receive smaller workpieces.

Abstract: A planing tool has a rotary planer head driven rotatably by an electric motor. The planer head is removably connected to a drive shaft which comprises a plurality of elements which can be axially disengaged to enable the planer head to be easily replaced.

Abstract: A milling fixture with a manual top spindle molder comprises a base plate upon which a drive assembly is adjustably mounted. The drive assembly includes a drive journal for driving a tool shaft. A bearing block is mounted on the drive assembly and includes a U-shaped member which carries a bearing which is aligned with said drive journal to receive the other end of the tool shaft. The base plate, together with the drive assembly and bearing block is pivotable relative to a workpiece guide on which the workpiece is supported. The bearing block includes a pendulum guide having a copying feeler for engaging the workpiece.

Abstract: A hand-held planing tool has a housing with a chamber adapted to receive a rotary driven planer head. The chamber is sized to receive either a small planer head and blade which makes a shallow flat planar cut in a workpiece, or a larger planer head and blade which makes a profiling cut (e.g., an irregular cut) in a workpiece. The housing carries support members which extend downwardly to different depths to contact the portions of the profiling cut which are of corresponding depths, and thereby adapt the tool to travel along the profile.

Abstract: A manual drilling mechanism can optionally be employed for (i) rotary drilling wherein the rotating motion of a drive spindle may be transmitted to a rotary drilling tool, or (ii) hammer drilling wherein an impact bolt guided in the drive spindle is impacted against the end of a hammer drilling tool. The latter tool is axially movably guided in a hammer drill holder. A drill chuck is attached to the spindle. The chuck carries jaws for clamping the rotary drill tool. The jaws are movable between tool-clamping and tool-release positions. The chuck has a passage for the impact bolt. The passage has a diameter slightly smaller than the space between the jaws when the latter are in the tool-clamping position. The chuck forms a receiving sleeve for the drill hammer holder.

Abstract: A plurality of planer cutters are mounted on a center piece of a planer tool. A clamping flap and mounting bolts connect the cutter to the center piece. The cutter has a groove adapted to receive the collars of adjusting screws to radially adjust the cutter. The flap is connected to the center piece at two circumferentially spaced locations so that a long flap can be employed which is shaped complementarily to the shape of the cutter profile.

Abstract: A saw mechanism comprises a work support, a round table rotatably carried on said work support, and a pivot support carried by the table. A guide is mounted on the pivot support for pivotal movement and includes a pair of parallel rods. A saw includes a saw housing and a motor driven blade on the housing. The housing has a pair of passages which slidably receive the rods so that the housing can be adjusted relative to and along the rods.

Abstract: A combination table and miter saw is provided which has a slotted strip attached directly to a rotatable work supporting base plate. The slotted strip is part circular and forms a bearing connection for a saw assembly which accommodates pivoting of the saw assembly about an axis through a working surface of the bottom of the base plate. A threaded adjusting spindle for locking the saw in position during table sawing is connected to a bearing block which also is attached to the slotted strip.

Abstract: A blade holding arrangement for cutter spindles or cutter heads which are adapted to be equipped with reversible blades. The arrangement including radially adjustable blade holders in the form of drawn profile sections, with the blades adapted to be pressed against guide shoulders of the cutter spindles or cutter heads. The blade holders are provided with a reinforcing elevation or projection that slopes downward in a direction of the guide shoulders. A groove, extending in parallel to the reinforcing elevation or projection, is provided in the blade holder adjacent the reinforcing elevation or projection on a radially inner side of the blade holder.

Abstract: A keyhole type saw is provided which includes transverse stroke control apparatus for controlling the movement of the saw blade in a direction transverse to the linear stroke path. According to preferred embodiments, the transverse stroke control apparatus includes a rotatable blade guide roll engageable directly with the saw blade, which guide roll is in turn carried at a guide lever arm. A rotary plate is supported in the housing of the saw and includes a pivot connection for a swing arm which has the other end engageable at the guide lever arm by way of cam surfaces, whereby the position of the swing arm directly controls the presenting transverse stroke of the blade guide roll and saw blades.

Abstract: An angular guide for hand routing millers formed of two legs forming an angle of 90.degree. with one another, one of the legs being fashioned as a stop plate with a smooth guiding surface and the other of the legs being constructed as a mounting plate with holding members arranged on its outside for accommodating the routing miller. Both of the legs are provided in the zone of the apex of the angle with apertures to pass the milling tool therethrough. The mounting plate is extended beyong the apex and is likewise formed as a guiding surface at least on the side facing the smooth guiding surface of the stop plate. Various mounting apertures and other members are provided on the stop and mounting plates to accommodate utilization of the angle guide in a plurality of different positions, including use of the mounting plate alone.
