An apparatus for a drilling operation. In one advantageous embodiment, the drilling operation includes a motor, a rotary sensor, and a controller connected to the rotary sensor. The rotary sensor may be capable of generating a signal in response to rotary movement of the drill motor. The controller may be capable of monitoring a speed of the air motor from the signal generated by the rotary sensor and may be capable of identifying a change from a current layer in a stackup to a new layer in the stackup using the signal.

An electric drill apparatus having a low profile is provided which comprises an annular cutter, a motor for rotating the annular cutter, a rotary shaft assembly for rotating the annular cutter attached to its leading end about a rotating, a rotation reduction mechanism disposed between the motor and rotary shaft assembly for transmitting a driving force of the motor to the annular cutter through the rotary shaft assembly, a feed mechanism responsive to an operation of a manual handle, for moving the rotary shaft assembly along with a straight line to advance or retract the annular cutter attached to the rotary shaft assembly with respect to a workpiece, and an adhesion base for securing the electric drill apparatus to the workpiece. The annular cutter has a plurality of cutting blades comprised of cemented carbide tips fixed on its lower end, thereby it is capable of rotating at a high speed. The rotary shaft assembly has a rotating shaft which rotates in a direction different from that of a rotating shaft of the motor, thereby the drill apparatus has a low profile.

A hand-held power tool having a multi-speed transmission and a clutch. The multi-speed transmission and the clutch are coupled to one another via a set of interconnecting tabs that are slidingly engaged to one another and secured with pins to inhibit the withdrawal of the tabs from one another. The clutch may include a clutch member, a unitarily formed clutch plate and a plurality of engagement members. The clutch plate includes an annular plate member and a plurality of leg members that extend generally perpendicularly from the annular plate member and which bias the engagement members into engagement with the clutch member. The clutch member may be coupled to an element of the multi-speed transmission, such as to the ring gear of a planetary gear set, so as to reduce the overall size of the power tool.

A variable speed transmission having a plurality of tilting balls and opposing input and output discs is illustrated and described that provides an infinite number of speed combinations over its transmission ratio range. The use of a planetary gear set allows minimum speeds to be in reverse and the unique geometry of the transmission allows all of the power paths to be coaxial, thereby reducing overall size and complexity of the transmission in comparison to transmissions achieving similar transmission ratio ranges.

A right angle drill (1) includes a motor housing (6) which defines therein a hole (18) for accommodating a motor field system (3), a cut-out (15) formed in the underside of the motor housing (6) from the front end toward the rear of the tool (1), and a light unit (16) slidably fitted in the cut-out (15). The light unit (16) is a plate member having an arcuate cross section so as to define an inwardly curved rear (i.e., inner) surface (16a) along its entire length. The unit's inner surface (16a) conforms to the inner surface of the accommodating hole (18) of the motor housing (6). The light unit (16) additionally includes a protrusion (17) at the front outer surface thereof. Furthermore, the protrusion (17) contains a pair of LEDs (21) for illuminating objects below an output spindle (12) to which a bit can be attached.

An electric drill (10) has a drive assembly (31, 70), and a pivot head (32) having first and second bit gripping assemblies (14, 22) disposed at 90 degrees to each other. The electric drill (10) also includes means for adjusting the position of the bit gripping assemblies (14, 22) relative to the drive assembly (31, 70) by pivoting the head (32) through 90 degrees, whereby a selected one of the bit gripping assemblies is operatively engaged to the drive assembly. The position adjusting means may include a movable locking sleeve (36) which, in a first position, allows the drive assembly to operatively engage the selected bit gripping assembly and, in a second position, allows the drive assembly to disengage the selected bit gripping assembly.

A milling head has a body, a holding device, a driving axle, a spraying device and a tool adaptor. The body has a base, a rear cover, a front cover, a bearing seat and a middle liner ring. The holding device is connected to the body and has a linking arm, a mounting jacket, a bottom cap, a positioning shaft and a locating spring. The driving axle is rotatably mounted in the body and has a transmission shaft and a driving bevel gear. The spraying device is mounted on the base and has a mounting cover and an spraying ball. The tool adaptor is rotatably mounted in the base below the spraying device and has a transmitting bevel gear, a holding head and a connecting segment.

A power tool including a pistol grip handle containing a chamber connected to external opening to permit easy installation of batteries; a drive head provided at its end a rotation chuck to adapted to a bit of a hand tool, and multiple projection lights to project light to the bit; a control switch to control the on and off of the projection lights, a cover pivoted to the handle to cover up the opening; the cover swings on one side of the opening of the pistol grip handle; and multiple channels provided on the inner side of the cover for storage of bits.

A method and system design and manufacture of the monogrammed faceted and stone adorned eyeglass lenses via a computer program allowing a design, intricate facet cuts and stone placement on a computer lens model. Software may utilize a touch probe or laser scanner to gather point data from a previously designed lens, converting the data to a computer model. The data is then used to send signals to an articulated robotic arm holding a lens shape. The robotic arm receives the commands from the computer, moving and rotating the lens shape against an abrasive wheel, rotating cutter blade or rotating drill thereby duplicating the facet cuts, slots notches or depressions or other designs contained in the computer lens model. Varying pressure is applied by the articulated arm and various degrees of abrasiveness of the abrasive wheel.

A tool adapter includes a housing, which comprises a passage with two end openings and two locating portions respectively located adjacent the two end openings, two connecting members respectively rotatably positioned in the locating portions of the housing, the connecting members each having a shaft respectively extended out of the end openings and an engagement portion respectively engaged with each other, and two locating devices respectively mounted in the housing to secure the connecting members to the housing.

The invention discloses a tool setting method for repairing thread by using a numerically controlled lathe. The method comprises the following steps of: measuring the error of a thread track line of thread to be repaired and a reference track line by taking the thread track line of firstly processed thread as a reference; and adjusting an initial position of a tool nose to enable a processed thread track to be overlapped with the thread track to be repaired by changing the pulse phase of a zero phase of a main shaft encoder or changing a Z coordinate of the initial position of the tool nose. The method is specially designed for repairing the thread of a drilling tool by using the numerically controlled lathe, and has the characteristics of easiness in operation, accuracy in tool setting, high efficiency, quickness, light labor intensity of operating personnel, high practicability and the like; large-scale repair processing is facilitated; the thread of the drilling tool repaired through tool setting by using the method has higher quality; the repair frequency of a drilling tool joint is increased; and the service life of the drilling tool is prolonged. The method can be used for repairing the thread of the drilling tool joint under numerical control, and can also be applied to thread repair of all other parts of which the thread repair track is required to be overlapped with the original thread track in numerical control.

A hand-held power tool is provided with a housing, an attachment member, and an object sensor that is removable from the attachment member. The attachment member may be removable from the tool. The object sensor, which can be used to detect studs hidden behind walls, electrical lines, and other materials, is readily accessible to tradesmen.
