A toolhead assembly for a CNC machine displaceable along orthogonal x, y and
z-axes
generally consisting of a support assembly, a tool carrier supported on the support
assembly having a rotatable tool axis and being displaceable relative to the support
assembly between a first position wherein the tool axis is aligned with the z-axis
and a second position wherein the tool axis is misaligned with the z-axis, structure
for yieldably biasing the tool carrier assembly into the first position and structure
responsive to a displacement of the tool carrier assembly to the second position
for breaking an electrical grounding circuit of a controller operatively connected
to the machine.
