Filed:

Dec 2, 1985

Appl. No.:

6/803176

Inventors:

Patrick J. Riley - Columbus OH

Assignee:

Rockwell International Corporation - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

B23B 4700

US Classification:

408 14

Abstract:

A power tool motor housing rotates a spindle assembly which moves axially within limits of adjusting nuts. A sensing sleeve maintains an axially fixed position with respect to the drive housing and thus with respect to a depth adjustment for controlling axial movement of the spindle. A foot piece moves along the sleeve as an adjusting nut is rotated on the sleeve to adjust stand off without changing preset depth of cut. A swivel assembly connects the sensing sleeve to the power housing so that the power housing may be rotated or indexed without changing the distance between the sensing sleeve and the depth adjustment.

Abstract:

A power drill system is disclosed which is hand held and manually operable. The drill system includes a drill and a positive feed unit for the drill connected thereto. A clamping member is connected at a lower portion thereof to a housing for the drill and feed unit. The clamp member is pneumatically powered to move it against a workpiece and clamp it against the housing at the location of the drill. A four way toggle switch controls the air pressure to the clamp member allowing the operator to control the clamping operation with one hand while the other hand holds the housing in the desired position.
