When we say power tool, an idea comes in our minds about a tool which uses some power to perform some activity. The power is of some form but necessarily not muscle power. It may be electric, pneumatic, natural power such as wind, hydro, etc. Power tools find use in industries, in the garden, in home tasks such as cleaning, around the house for the purpose of drilling, cutting, etc. There is a wide range of 350+ tools including cordless screw drivers, drill machines, impact wrenches, rotary hammers, surveying equipment, and range finders. Power tools are either stationary or movable.…
The parting-off system comprises High Speed Steel blades, Jetstream Tooling® technology and tool blocks with coolant inlets. Together, these elements give high-pressure coolant a straight path to the cutting edge and provide an optimised means for effectively penetrating the friction zone between the cutting edge and workpiece. Thereby, manufacturers benefit from fast heat removal, proper chip evacuation and superior part surface finishes. Plus, the 150.10-JETI system is able to move freely in tight workspaces and operate closer to the spindle thanks to its compact assembly free of external piping and connections. The elimination of these external components also saves users…
