  • Patent number: 9387566
    Abstract: A handheld abrading machine is provided, including a holding device which includes a substantially tubular bar having a proximal end and a distal end and having a drive motor arranged at the proximal end and a tool head arranged at the distal end, and a transmission shaft connecting the drive motor to a tool holder of the tool head and running within at least sections of the tubular bar. The tool head includes a hood device which includes a hood element having a substantially cylindrical hood chamber, wherein the tool holder together with a tool arranged thereon is arrangeable in at least sections of the hood chamber. The hood element includes a recess in the form of a segment of a cylinder so that a tangent touching an edge of the tool runs substantially in a plane delimiting the recess in the form of a segment of a cylinder.
