Abstract
A drill 30 for driving a bit 44 into a workpiece 50 includes an assembled anvil 58 and spindle 38, which are mounted for rotation together and for axial movement together within a drill housing 32. A planet carrier 56 is driven by a motor 52 and, in turn rotatingly drives the anvil 58 and the spindle 38. A chuck 42 is attached to a forward end of the spindle 58 for rotation and axial movement therewith. A plurality of rollers 162 are mounted in nests 182 of a roller cage 176, are maintained in parallel with an axis of the drill 30, and the anvil 58. The rollers 162, which are included in an automatic spindle lock 33, can be wedged between a fixed surface 74 of the drill housing 32 and a movable surface 102 of the anvil for automatically locking the spindle 38 with the housing. Following withdrawal of the bit 44 from the workpiece 50, an automatic brake 35 provides facility for braking the spindle 38. When the planet carrier 56 ceases to be driven, the anvil 58 and the spindle 38 are in a coasting mode relative to the slowing speed of the planet carrier 56. An automatic drag system 37 provides a drag between the coasting anvil 58 and the planet carrier 56 to bring the coasting speed…
