Abstract: A lower drill tool that is structurally configured to receive a bracket, and, to cooperate with an upper drill tool having a pair of spaced apart drill bits. The lower drill tool has part receiving surface, a pair of spaced apart drill bores, a central bore, a centering nub and a biasing member. The drill bores extend downwardly away from the part receiving surface. The central bore is between the drill bores and extends downwardly away from the part receiving surface. The centering nub is slidable within the central bore, and has an upper tip extendable beyond the part receiving surface, positionable between an extended position and a partially retracted position. The upper tip has a conical configuration. The biasing member is positioned within the central bore and biases the centering nub toward the extended position. A drill system and a method are also disclosed.

The central chuck has a chuck base and a chuck structurally configured to retain a drill bit. The upper component is attached to the central chuck and has a lower stop surface. The lower component has a central body and an outer ring that threadedly engages the central body, with the outer ring having an upper stop. The coupling assembly is configured to facilitate the slidable movement of the lower component from a first orientation wherein the upper stop is spaced apart from the lower stop surface and a second orientation wherein the upper stop is in abutting engagement with the lower stop surface, with the first orientation and the second orientation defining a stroke.

Abstract: A method and rivet apparatus to rivet a workpiece comprises an upper riveting portion and a lower riveting portion. The lower riveting portion comprising a fixed base, support member, and a pin assembly. The pin assembly comprises a center pin, a forming pin, a first biasing member, an outer shroud, and a second biasing member. The center pin pushes against a tail of a rivet to deform the tail of the rivet. The forming pin, fixedly coupled to the support member, pushes against the tail of the rivet to deform the tail of the rivet. The first biasing member, disposed below the center pin, biases the center pin through the forming pin and away from the support member. The outer shroud encircles the forming pin and the center pin. The second biasing member, disposed below the outer shroud, biases the outer shroud away from the support member.

Abstract: A central chuck including a chuck base, a first chuck and a first drill bit. The first chuck is rotatably coupled to the chuck base and has a chuck bore terminating at a lower chuck wall and a transverse locking bore. A locking plug is threaded into the transverse locking bore. The first drill bit has an upper portion, a central portion and a distal end. The upper portion has a smaller diameter than the central portion with a shoulder spanning between the upper portion and the central portion. An oblique plane defined in the upper portion inclined in a downward and inward direction toward the shoulder. Threaded insertion of the locking plug into the chuck bore interfaces with the drill bit and directs the drill bit in an upward direction and forces the shoulder into tight abutment with the lower chuck wall.

Abstract: A handle is coupled to an industrial machine tool, along with a method of operating the industrial machine tool via the handle. The handle comprises a housing, a first switch, and a second switch. The housing includes a first side, a second side, a top end, and a bottom end, the first side facing toward the industrial machine tool and the second side facing away from the industrial machine tool. The first switch actuates a float mode for the industrial machine tool, the float mode being a mode in which movement of a moveable portion of the industrial machine tool is power assisted for an operator of the industrial machine tool. The second switch actuates a machining portion, coupled to the moveable portion of the industrial machine tool, to perform a machining process on a workpiece.

Abstract: A method and rivet apparatus to rivet a workpiece comprises an upper riveting portion and a lower riveting portion. The lower riveting portion comprising a fixed base, support member, and a pin assembly. The pin assembly comprises a center pin, a forming pin, a first biasing member, an outer shroud, and a second biasing member. The center pin pushes against a tail of a rivet to deform the tail of the rivet. The forming pin, fixedly coupled to the support member, pushes against the tail of the rivet to deform the tail of the rivet. The first biasing member, disposed below the center pin, biases the center pin through the forming pin and away from the support member. The outer shroud encircles the forming pin and the center pin. The second biasing member, disposed below the outer shroud, biases the outer shroud away from the support member.
