There are usually chisel-shaped, ground tungsten-carbide cutting edges soldered into the tip because the drill bits have to be very robust due to the impact energy.", "Material removal rate":"The material removal rate provides a meaningful reference value for comparing different power tools, such as planers or sanders. Put simply, it states how much material (stock) is removed in a certain time (usually measured by the hour) from the workpiece. As a rule, the higher the material removal rate, the more effective the tool.", "Memory effect":"What is known as \"memory effect\" can occur in nickel cadmium batteries. These batteries have a \"memory\", so to speak, and should be completely discharged before they are recharged. If this is ignored too often, the battery seems to \"remember\" the energy requirement.

As soon as overload occurs, the motor protection (if present) switches the machine off automatically.", "Pendulum stroke":"Certain function of a jigsaw. Whereas the saw blade in jigsaws without a pendulum stroke only performs straight-lined stroke movements, the saw blade with pendulum stroke oscillates forwards and backwards. This allows for better ejection of the chips produced during sawing and increases the sawing performance of the jigsaw.", "Planer":"Like the sander, the planer is a tool for working on wooden surfaces. Whereas the sander processes the wood by means of the grit on the sanding paper, the planer cuts off entire chips. In contrast to standard, hand-held planers, the power tool works with a blade shaft that rotates at high speed. It provides fast and precise planing with a high material removal rate.", "Planetary gearbox":"The planetary gearbox is a type of toothed gearing.

Conventional rotary hammers weigh approximately two kilograms. However, they can weigh up to 27 kilograms, depending on the difficulty of the work.", "Router":"The portable router is a versatile power tool. It is suitable for milling long holes and slots, for edge routing and chamfering, template routing and free-hand routing, e.g. for ornamentation, patterns and lettering.", "Router bit":"The router bit can plunge vertically into the material like a drill bit.
