Abstract

An apparatus for performing machining operations in poorly accessible locations includes a fastening head, which is held at one end of a shaft stub, while the other end is in engagement via a bevel gear drive with a drive shaft which is retained in a longitudinal housing. A longitudinally displaceable telescopic guide is provided on the longitudinal housing at right angles thereto. The telescopic guide is compressible counter to the pressure of a spring. A micrometer screw is provided for fine adjustment of the distance between the fastening head and the telescopic guide.
