In the first position the annulus holes are aligned with the bores and shafts allowing the shafts to be freely insertable and removable and in the second position the holes are misaligned to lock the shafts to the annulus. The mandrel further includes a pair of driving pins adapted to engage driving apertures found in hole-saws especially larger ones.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2010Publication date: September 30, 2010Inventor: Kym John KEIGHTLEY

Publication number: 20100239381Abstract: A holesaw mandrel assembly has a mandrel with a first shanking end, a body, and a second extending end that includes a threaded spud to receive a holesaw. A first member is secured on the second end. The first member is axially slidable on the second end. The first member also includes a friction surface to contact the holesaw. The friction surface moves between a first engaging position and a second disengaging position. A mechanism on the mandrel moves the friction surface between its engaged and disengaged positions. The mechanism includes a biased collar and a bearing race. A mating connection enables rotation of the collar which, in turn, enables the friction surface to move between its engaged and disengaged positions.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2009Publication date: September 23, 2010Applicant: Black & Decker Inc.Inventor: Joseph Kelleher

Publication number: 20100226728Abstract: A core cutter includes a body portion 1 and a plurality of cutting blades 2 arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction. At least one of the cutting blades serves as an inner cutting blade, and the remaining cutting blades 2 serve as outer cutting blades. The thickness of the body portion maintains distortion resistance of the body portion. Through grooves penetrating a tip end of the body portion are formed toward a tip end side. The cutting blades are attached to the through grooves 3, and have the same size as the through groove 3. Gallets discharge the chips, with each of the gallets formed by an outer peripheral surface. The cutting blades are welded to the grooves such that a tip end portion coincides with a peripheral surface of an axial-direction tip end of the gallet.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2007Publication date: September 9, 2010Applicant: Kabushiki Kaisha MiyanagaInventor: Masaaki Miyanaga

Patent number: 7785047Abstract: The invention relates to a cutting element for a hollow drill comprising a cutting area and an essentially cylindrical area. The essentially cylindrical area has recesses, which are arranged on the inside at regular intervals and open toward the cutting area. In one embodiment of the invention, the recesses extend in an axial direction while being arranged in an interspaced manner preferably in the peripheral direction. The recesses arranged at regular intervals in the peripheral direction produce a geometric shape that is generally described as a polygon. The invention also relates to a cutter support and to a hollow drill. The cutting element is connected to the cutter support via a clamping connection preferably in a manner that enables the cutting element to be detached.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2005Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Inventor: Achim Jauch

Publication number: 20100215451Abstract: A cutting tip is coupled with a rotor, which operates in response to actuation of a motor, in order to cut or process a workpiece. The cutting tip includes a plurality of first cutting recesses formed in upper and lower edges of one face of the cutting tip, which comes in contact with the workpiece; and a plurality of second cutting recesses, alternating with the first cutting recesses in a plan view, the second cutting recesses having a conical shape. The first and second cutting recesses in the cutting tip can minimize the abrasion of the cutting tip when cutting workpiece, enhance cutting power, and increase lifetime.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2008Publication date: August 26, 2010Inventor: Sung Haeng Jo

Patent number: 7766583Abstract: One embodiment relates to a workpiece removal device for a plug cutter. This combination comprises a housing having a longitudinally extending surface, a first closed end and a second open end opposite the first closed end. A boss is coupled (removably coupled for example) to the first closed end and extends toward the second open end, and a biasing member (a spring for example) is attached to a distal end of the boss. The combination further comprises means for contacting a predetermined portion of the biasing member with a workpiece, whereby a preselected portion of the workpiece is ultimately severed from the workpiece. The biasing member ejects the preselected portion from the plug cutter, forming a plug.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2006Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Eazypower CorporationInventor: Burton Kozak

Publication number: 20100124466Abstract: A trepanning drill having a drill axis of rotation (A) and comprising a drill bore extending rearwardly from a front portion thereof. The drill body has at least two cutting edges formed in the front portion thereof. Each of the cutting edges has a cutting external edge and a cutting internal edge. A circle passing through the cutting external edge of each of the cutting edges forms an external circle having a first diameter (D1) and a first center (A1). A circle passing through the cutting internal edge of each of the cutting edges forms an internal circle having a second diameter (D2) and a second center (A2). In an end view of the trepanning drill, the first center (A1) coincides with the drill axis of rotation (A), and, the second center (A2) is offset from the drill axis of rotation (A).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2009Publication date: May 20, 2010Applicant: Iscar, Ltd.Inventor: Daniel Men

Publication number: 20100092256Abstract: A cutting tool includes a tool body having a first end engageable with a workpiece and a second end engageable with a spindle of a power tool. A blade extends outwardly from the first end of the tool body and including a cutting edge, the cutting edge being engageable with a workpiece to cut the workpiece. A bit, including a drive shaft and a cutting end extends along an axis of the tool body. The drive shaft extends axially outwardly beyond the first end of the tool body and terminates at the cutting end. The cutting end has a maximum cross-sectional width greater than a maximum cross-sectional width of the drive shaft, and an axial distance from the first end of the tool body to the cutting end is greater than a maximum cutting depth of the cutting tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2009Publication date: April 15, 2010Inventors: Abhijeet Khangar, Jeffrey M.
