Abstract
A motion converter comprising a drive head mounted eccentrically onto a drive shaft, and which is eccentrically displaced when the drive shaft rotates. The converter additionally comprises a displaceable transmission element and a displaceable tool holder holding a tool. The transmission element and tool holder are moved to-and-fro when the drive shaft is rotated. The excursion of the to-and-fro motion is adjustable by pivot means, preferably a first pivot pin, displaceably affixed to a housing and connecting the transmission element to the housing.
