  2. Oscillating multi-tool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillating_multi-tool

    An oscillating multi-tool or oscillating saw is a multitool and power tool that oscillates (rather than rotating or reciprocating), powered by battery or mains. The name "multi-tool" is a reference to the many functions that this tool can perform with the range of attachments available.

  3. Jigsaw (tool) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigsaw_(tool)

    A jigsaw is a reciprocating saw that can cut irregular curves, such as stenciled designs, in wood, metal, or other materials. Jigsaws first emerged in the 19th century [1] and employed a treadle to operate the blade, which was thin and under tension, being secured at both ends to an oscillating frame. This kind of saw is now usually called a ...

  4. Reciprocating saw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocating_saw

    A reciprocating saw is a type of handheld, small, machine-powered saw, in which the cutting action is achieved through a push-and-pull ("reciprocating") or back-and-forth motion of the blade. The original trade name, Sawzall, is often used in the United States, where Milwaukee Electric Tool first produced a tool of this type in 1951. [1] [2]

  5. Quick return mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_return_mechanism

    In addition to the kinematic analysis of a quick return mechanism, there is a dynamic analysis present. At certain lengths and attachments, the arm of the mechanism can be evaluated and then adjusted to certain preferences. For example, the differences in the forces acting upon the system at an instant can be represented by D'Alembert's ...

  6. Reciprocating motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocating_motion

    A crank can be used to convert into reciprocating motion, or conversely turn reciprocating motion into circular motion. [ citation needed ] [ 1 ] For example, inside an internal combustion engine (a type of reciprocating engine), the expansion of burning fuel in the cylinders periodically pushes the piston down, which, through the connecting ...

  7. Radial arm saw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_arm_saw

    Radial Arm Saw. A radial arm saw is a cutting machine consisting of a circular saw mounted on a sliding horizontal arm. Invented by Raymond DeWalt in 1922, the radial arm saw was the primary tool used for cutting long pieces of stock to length until the introduction of the power miter saw in the 1970s.

  8. Connecting rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connecting_rod

    A connecting rod, also called a 'con rod', [1] [2] [3] is the part of a piston engine which connects the piston to the crankshaft. Together with the crank, the connecting rod converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotation of the crankshaft. [4] The connecting rod is required to transmit the compressive and tensile forces from ...

  9. Compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor

    [1] [2] [3] Small reciprocating compressors from 5 to 30 horsepower (hp) are commonly seen in automotive applications and are typically for intermittent duty. Larger reciprocating compressors well over 1,000 hp (750 kW) are commonly found in large industrial and petroleum applications.
