- the switch 140 is pulled away from the housing 110 to activate the motor.
- the motor may be configured to operate at a single speed (e.g., a speed between approximately 15,000 and 30,000 rpm) or a number of speeds (e.g., speeds of 15,000 rpm, 20,000 rpm, and 30,000 rpm).
- the switch may include multiple positions corresponding to the desired motor speed.
- an adjustable depth guide assembly 160 may be provided.
- the depth guide 160 is attached to the housing 110 adjacent the location where the motor shaft emerges from the housing 110.
- a depth guide bracket 162 is selectively attachable to the housing 110, and may be attached to the housing 110 in any conventional manner.
- the depth guide bracket 162 may be formed to have a split collar structure and a' cam closing mechanism 164 (e.g., an over-center latch) which is operated to close the collar tight around the end of the tool housing 110, and which may be operated to loosen the collar to remove the bracket 162 from the housing 110.
- a cam closing mechanism 164 e.g., an over-center latch
- the depth of cut of the power tool 100 may be set by moving an extending portion 166 of the depth guide 160 in a direction along the longitudinal axis of the tool bit 154.
- a locking mechanism may then be used to lock the extending portion 166 in a fixed position relative to the bracket 162 to securely fix the depth guide 160 in place.
- the locking mechanism may be implemented as a cam lever, as a threaded nut or a screw, or as any other suitable type of device or mechanism.
- the motor of the tool 100 drives a motor shaft to which a device or mechanism 150 is coupled for securing a cutting accessory (e.g., a helical cutting tool bit or other accessory) to the motor shaft.
- a cutting accessory e.g., a helical cutting tool bit or other accessory
- the device 150 includes a collet (not shown) and a collet nut 152 for securing a tool bit 154 to the motor shaft of the tool 100.
- the tool bit 154 includes a cutting edge wrapped around the axis of the bit in a helix or spiral. This cutting edge is designed such that the tool bit 154, when rotated at high speed, will cut through a workpiece in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis of the bit.
- a shaft lock button or cap 156 is provided as part of a shaft lock mechanism (described in greater detail below with reference to FIGURES 3-11) to restrict or prevent rotation of the motor shaft when the coliet nut 152 is being loosened and tightened.
- the collet nut 152 is tightened down on the threaded end of the shaft, the collet is compressed within the collet nut 152 between a partially closed end of the collet nut 152 and the shaft.
- the collet is slotted and has tapered ends such that when the collet is compressed between the collet nut 152 and the shaft, the collet is compressed radially, causing the central aperture of the collet to close tightly around the shank of the tool bit.
- the collet nut 152 is loosened until the bit can be removed easily from the central aperture of the collet.
- FIGURES 3-7 illustrate features of the a shaft lock mechanism 200 according to an exemplary embodiment.

- the shaft 170 also includes an aperture 172 provided therein.
- the aperture 172 has a size and shape configured to receive therein a pin or rod 210 that is coupled or attached to the shaft lock button 156 (the end of the pin may include a taper or chamfer for easier insertion into the aperture 172, as shown in FIGURE 3).
- a user of the tool 100 may depress or push the shaft lock button 156 while slowly rotating the shaft 170 until the pin 210 is received within the aperture 172, at which point rotation of the shaft 170 is restricted or prevented due to the interaction of the pin 210 and the aperture 172.
- the shaft lock button 156 and pin 210 are biased away from the shaft by a spring 212 which is provided around the pin 210 (i.e., the pin is received within the coil of the spring 212).
- the spring may be provided such that the pin is not received within its coil (e.g., the spring may be adjacent the pin and spaced away therefrom).
- the spring 212 keeps the pin 210 from interfering with the rotation of the shaft when the user does not intentionally want to do so (e.g., it keeps the pin disengaged from the shaft).
- a member or element 220 in the form of a retaining plate is provided within the housing 110 according to an exemplary embodiment.
- the member 220 includes a hole or aperture 222 configured for receiving therethrough the pin 210 when the pin 210 is depressed and engages the aperture 172 in the shaft 170.
- the member 220 may be made or formed of a metal such as steel, zinc, aluminum, or bronze.
- the member 220 may be made or formed of a polymer, carbon fiber, composite material, or any other suitable material.
- the member has a thickness of approximately 1.5 millimeters and the aperture 222 has a size and shape complementary to that of the pin 210. According to other exemplary embodiments, the thickness of the member may vary to suit the load it needs to carry or transmit in a particular application.
- the member 220 guides the pin 210 to aid in the alignment of the pin 210 with the aperture 172 in the shaft 170.
- the member 220 acts to transmit the load applied from the pin 210 to relatively strong regions of the housing 110 of the tool 100 when the shaft lock mechanism 200 is used to install or remove an accessory such as a tool bit.
- the member 220 can better transmit the loads and has a higher yield strength than polymeric or other materials which might otherwise be used.
- the close proximity of the member 220 to the shaft 170 acts to reduce forces applied to both the member 220 and the pin 210 when the shaft lock mechanism 200 is utilized, thus reducing the occurrence of failures or deformations of components of the tool 100.
- the distance between the rotational axis of the shaft 170 and the center of the member 220 is approximately 10.5 millimeters (e.g., 10.62 millimeters according to a particular exemplary embodiment).
- the housing 110 of the tool 100 is molded or formed in two clam shell halves.
- a first clam shell 112 includes features 114 and 116 for coupling the clam shell 112 to a second clam shell (not shown).
- the features 114 and 116 are configured for receiving therein a fastener such as a screw or bolt to secure the clam shells together when assembly of the tool is complete.
- the shaft lock mechanism 200 is retained substantially entirely within one of the clam shell halves (e.g., as shown in FIGURE 7, the shaft lock mechanism 200 is retained within the clam shell 112).
- the member 220 includes an aperture or hole 224 for fastening or securing the member 220 to the housing 110.
- the clam shell 112 includes a feature 118 configured to receive a fastener such as a screw or bolt for securing the member 220 to the clam shell 112.
- FIGURE 4 illustrates a member 220 that includes a single aperture 224 for fastening the member 220 to the housing 110 of a tool 100, according to other exemplary embodiments, more than one aperture may be provided for securing the member to a tool housing. For example, according to other exemplary embodiments, two or more apertures may be provided for receiving fasteners which secure the member to a power tool housing.
- the member 220 may be fastened to the housing 110 without the use of a discrete fastener.
- the member may be hot staked to the housing (e.g., a pin-like extension integrally formed with the housing may be melted or deformed after it is provided through the aperture 224 to hold the member 220 in place).
- the member 220 is positioned within the clam shell 112 between a number of ribs (shown in FIGURE 6 as ribs 113, 115, 117, and 119) which act to prevent or restrain lateral movement of the member 220 within the clam shell 112 and to transmit loads from the member 220 to the housing 110.
- a fastener is inserted through the aperture 224 provided in the member 220 and into the feature 118 provided in the clam shell 112 to secure the member 220 within the clam shell 112.
- An end 226 of the member 220 may be tapered or chamfered to aid in assembly of the shaft lock mechanism 200.
- the tapered end 226 may be provided below a feature 121 (FIGURE 6) provided in the housing 110 which may act to secure the tapered end 226 in place in the tool 100. As shown in FIGURE 6, the member 220 is thus restrained at a first end by the feature 121 and at the other opposite end by a fastener inserted through the aperture 224 in the member 220.
- the member 220 is provided over the shaft lock button 156.
- the pin 210 does not extend through the aperture 222 in the member 220 unless the button 156 is depressed by a user (e.g., to overcome the spring force provided by the spring 212).
- a portion of the pin 210 is provided within the aperture 222 prior to depression of the button 156 by a user (e.g., the end of the pin 210 is within the aperture 222 when the button is in the "rest" state such that the wall of the aperture 222 acts as a guide for the pin 210).
- the shaft 170 is then provided adjacent the member 220, after which the second clam shell half of the housing 110 may be coupled to the clam shell 112 by fasteners inserted into the features 114 and 116.
- the shaft 170 may be restrained or prevented from moving (e.g., prevented from rotating) by depressing the shaft lock button 156 such that the pin 210 extends into the aperture 172 provided in the shaft 170.
- the aperture 172 extends entirely through the shaft 170.
- the aperture in the shaft may extend only a portion of the way through the shaft.
- FIGURES 3-7 illustrate the use of a member 220 that has a relatively flat or planar configuration
- a member 320 may be provided that includes a flat or planar portion 330 having two members or elements in the form of legs 332, 334 which extend at substantially right angles to the flat or planer portion 330.
- Members or elements 336 and 338 in the form of feet extend from the members 332 and 334, respectively.
- the legs 332, 334 are biased outward (e.g., approximately 2 degrees) to provide a better fit in the housing 110 as the tool 100 is assembled.
- Apertures or holes 324 and 326 may be provided in the feet 336 and 338 for securing the member 320 within a tool housing. Similar to the member 220, the member 320 includes an aperture or hole 322 through which the pin 210 of the shaft lock mechanism 200 may extend to engage the aperture 172 provided in the shaft 170. An optional aperture or hole 328 may also be provided in the flat or planar portion 330 for receiving therein a feature 329 in the housing 110 (e.g., a boss) to aid in positioning the member 320 within the housing 110.
- the shaft lock button 156, pin 210, and spring 212 are provided within the clam shell 112.
- the boss 329 is provided for aiding in the positioning of the member 320 upon insertion of the member 320 jn the clam shell 112 and retaining the member 320 during assembly as shown in FIGURE 10. Retention of the member 320 in place during assembly is necessary due to the fact that the member 320 is installed over the button 156 and compresses the spring 212.
- a fastener such as a screw (not shown) may be driven into the boss 329 to secure the member 320 to the housing.
- the boss may be hot staked or deformed to retain the member 320 during assembly.
- Ribs 123 and 125 may also be provided to assist in positioning the member 320 and for transmitting loads from the pin 210 to the housing 110 of the tool 100.
- the apertures 324 and 326 provided in the feet 336 and 338, respectively, are configured for alignment with the features 114 and 116 provided in the clam shell 112.
- the apertures 324, 326, and 338 provided in the member 320 have a generally oblong or oval shape to allow flexibility in positioning the member 320 within the housing 110.
- the shaft 170 is then provided within the housing 110 along with a bearing 174 for aiding in the rotation of the shaft 170.
- a bearing such as the bearing 174 may also be provided in the embodiment shown in FIGURES 3-7.
- One advantageous feature of providing a member 320 such as that shown in FIGURE 8 is that such a member includes features which add rigidity and allow for the provision of retaining screws in a location other than a plane shared with the flat or planar portion 330 of the member 320. Another advantageous feature is that by providing apertures 324 and 326 in the member 320 which align with the features 114 and 116 in the housing 110, fewer fasteners are need to secure the member 320 in place, since the fasteners which secure the clam shell halves of the housing 110 together may also be used to secure the member 320 in place.
- the member 320 is intended to be configured such that lateral forces are transmitted through the flat or planar portion 330 into the legs 332, 334 and into ribs extending from the features 114, 116 provided in the housing 110. hi this manner, lateral forces may be transmitted into a relatively strong structural area of the housing 110.
