Abstract

A tool attachment, in particular hole saw, for a power tool having a driving axle that is drivable in oscillation. The tool attachment including a connecting device with which the tool attachment is attachable to the power tool such that the driving axle thereof and a tool axis essentially coincide. A work area has teeth, with the work area being at least partially circular in design and adjoining a hollow, cylindrical base. Openings are formed in the base, the openings constituting at least 60%, at least 80%, or at least 90% of the area of the base.

Claims (17)

1. A tool attachment for a power tool having a driving axle that is drivable in oscillation, the tool attachment comprising:

a connecting device with which the tool attachment is attachable to the power tool such that the driving axle thereof and a tool axis essentially coincide;

a work area having teeth, the work area being at least partially circular in design and adjoining a hollow, cylindrical base; and

openings formed in the base, the openings constituting at least 60% of the area of the base,

wherein the openings are spaced apart from the teeth, such that in a circumferential direction around the base, none of the openings overlap with the teeth, and

wherein the openings are formed as circular areas and are arranged in rows, each of the rows extending around the base in the circumferential direction.

2. The tool attachment according to claim 1 , wherein the circular areas include at least a plurality of first circular areas, each with a first diameter, and a plurality of second circular areas, each with a second diameter, and wherein the first diameter is greater than the second diameter.

3. The tool attachment according to claim 2 , wherein center points of the second circular areas are located at intersection points of diagonals between opposing first circular areas.

4. The tool attachment according to claim 1 , wherein the rows of the circular areas are not oriented parallel to the working area.

5. The tool attachment according to claim 1 , wherein the base is connected to the connecting device via spokes.

6. The tool attachment according to claim 5 , wherein at least a first angle between a first pair of adjacent spokes is greater than a second angle between a second pair of adjacent spokes, and wherein all of the spokes are identical to one another.

7. The tool attachment according to claim 5 , wherein the spokes are formed in a Y-shape.

8. The tool attachment according to claim 1 , wherein an accessory is arranged in an area of the connecting device and/or in the base, and wherein the accessory is a center point, a valve opener, an ejector, or a depth stop.

9. The tool attachment according to claim 1 , wherein the base is made of a flat material or of a strip stock, whose ends are welded or laser welded.

10. The tool attachment according to claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the base is between 40 mm and 115 mm.

11. The tool attachment according to claim 1 , wherein the openings constitute at least 80% of the area of the base.

12. The tool attachment according to claim 1 , wherein the openings constitute at least 90% of the area of the base.
