Abstract:

A power tool accessory is adapted to be mounted to a spindle of a power tool having a power tool housing. The power tool accessory includes a hub, a working element, a bolt, and a nut. The hub includes a first surface and a second surface that is opposite to the first surface. The hub further includes an opening extending through the hub. An axis of rotation of the hub is defined through the opening. The working element is connected to the hub. The bolt includes a head having a cross-section that is greater than the opening of the hub. The bolt further includes a shaft adapted to extend through the opening of the hub. The shaft is adapted to be received on the spindle of the power tool. The nut cooperates with the bolt and includes a head and an aperture extending through the head.

International Classification:

B23P13/00

US Classification:

298966

Abstract:

A method for making a builder's tool such as a rafter square includes severing a segment from an elongate strip of material, forming a plurality of holes in the segment and marking the segment with dimensional indicia. The segment is then divided into two semi-finished components which are finish-machined to make two of the tools. In more specific aspects of the method, the forming step includes forming, in sequence, first and second sets of holes. The second set of holes includes a tool-receiving hole and the dividing step includes moving a cutting tool along the tool-receiving hole. Most preferably, the method is carried out using a press having a bed with first, second and third work stations, a movable platen carrying first and second hole-punching tools above the first and second work stations, respectively, and a marking tool above the third work station.
