Abstract: An ammunition press for manufacturing or reloading ammunition cartridges. The ammunition press includes an adjustable shell holder for holding ammunition shells (sometimes called cases) of various sizes. A catch tray is provided for collecting spent primers or other debris. According to a user's preference, the ammunition press can be customized to provide an over-center actuated configuration or a non-over-center actuated configuration. A light is integrated with the press for illuminating the shell holder. Components of the press and associated methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: A system is disclosed that accepts portable power feed drilling equipment and enables the mechanical determination of an existing hole vector and duplication of the hole on the same vector in a new production part. The system allows for extremely accurate match drilling of parts with multiple, variable hole vectors. In addition, the system is adjustable in the Z-axis, which allows infinite and precise drill tip positioning prior to drilling to increase accuracy and manage chip exit. Interchangeable drill adaptors internal to the quill sleeve allow for a wide size range of drills to be used.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a tool assembly being capable of reducing considerably an axial length of a working member (tool), in particular, a length of a male spigot to be coupled with a coupling member and transmitting a torque to a working member without generating a loss by means of a secure coupling between a male spigot of a working member (tool) having a short length and a coupling member. A tool assembly according to the present invention comprises a tool including a head to be approached to a work-piece, a male spigot extended from a rear end of the head and a flange formed at a border portion between the head and the male spigot and having a ring shaped flat rear surface; and a coupling member consisting of a first section having a cavity formed on a central portion of a front side thereof for receiving the male spigot and a second section formed at a rear side of the first section and connected to a driving means.

Abstract: A boring bar is disclosed having an elongated body adapted to be rotatably driven around a predetermined axis. A longitudinally extending bore is open to at least one end of the body and has an axis which intersects the body axis at an acute angle. A cutting tool has an elongated shank with a cutting edge at one end while the other end of the shank is slidably received within the bore so that the radial displacement of the cutting edge with respect to the cutting axis is directly proportional to the longitudinal position of the shank within the body bore. A nut threadably secured to the body engages a radially extending pin secured to the shank in order to adjust the longitudinal position of the shank within the bore.

Abstract: The boring head has a tool holder in which the cutting tool is retained by a clamping screw. The tool holder is radially adjustable by an adjustment screw having a fine thread. The adjustment screw has a flange and a pressed-on knob which bears an adjustment scale. Between the knob and the flange, the annular portion of an insert is introduced, free of axial play. The annular portion of the insert is connected to the boring head by a set screw.The insert with the annular portion also is provided with a clamping lip which can be pressed against the tool holder by a locking screw. The tool holder with its fine adjustment can be separately mounted and constitutes an easily replaceable unit.

Abstract: A hand held tool for installing a threaded fastener in which the tool is adapted for use solely as a drill bit, solely as a screwdriver, and as a combination thereof, wherein the threaded fastener has a central bore extending therethrough. Extension of the drill bit beyond the end of the screwdriver blade may be selectively controlled, and the drill bit may be maintained in its entirety within the shaft of the screwdriver when not in use to thereby preserve the sharpness of the drill bit. A unique locking collar is also provided.

Abstract: A tool element (10) provided with a cutting insert (11) is readily attachable to and detachable from an elongated holder body (12), which is secured to a machining tool. The tool element (10) is clamped against the holder body (12) by means of a bar (19) which is longitudinally movable in the holder body. In order to prevent the cutting forces from causing a relative movement between the tool element (10) and the holder body (12) projections (23, 24) on the tool element (10) are forced against opposed abutting surfaces (16, 17) on the holder body (12) by means of complementary cam surfaces on an enlarged portion (21) on the bar and on the projections (23, 24) upon a clamping movement of the bar (19).

Abstract: The head has a transverse groove in its leading face in which two cutting blade holders with interchangeable cutting blades are clamped by means of a set screw. After loosening of the set screw, the cutting blade holders can be radially and axially adjusted by means of adjusting screws. This enables precise positioning of the cutting blades, to eliminate unequal chip formation, and rough operation due to unequal loading of the blades.

Abstract: A tool holding device for holding a cylindrical barrel in a cylindrical chamber which includes a two-part barrel with the parts axially oriented having facing chamfers to form a V-groove which receives a split ring. The retaining barrel has a rearwardly facing shoulder which form an annular abutment for the periphery of the ring when the ring is expanded by drawing the parts of the barrel axially toward each other.
