A maximum extension of the at least one machining element in the radial direction is preferably smaller, in particular at least by a factor of two, particularly preferably at least by a factor of three, smaller than a maximum extension of the base body in the radial direction. The fact that the tool unit is at least predominantly made of steel should preferably be understood to mean that at least the base body is made of steel. The base body is preferably made of low-alloy steel.Particularly preferably, the base body has a carbon content of at least 0.3% and / or at most 0.7%. Preferably, the base body has a weldability of more than 1, in particular of at least 9, particularly preferably of at least 12. The weldability is S 42 • 10. 6 of a material is given by s = — - , where X is the thermal conductivity of the

The main connection surface preferably runs at least substantially perpendicular to the radial direction. The main connection surface is preferably intended for a materially bonded connection with the connection unit and is designed in particular as a welding surface.The main connecting surface preferably runs at least substantially perpendicular to the main extension plane of the base body. The main connecting surface can be flat, curved, or stepped perpendicular to the radial direction and in particular parallel or perpendicular to the pivot axis. The main connecting surface is preferably intended to be welded to the connecting unit. The main connecting surface can be fused to the connecting unit completely, in sections, or at specific points. The connecting unit and the tool unit are preferably arranged alongside one another without overlap along a direction parallel to the pivot axis. "Provided" is to be understood in particular as meaning specially programmed, designed, and / or equipped.The fact that an object is intended for a specific function should be understood in particular to mean that the object fulfils and / or executes this specific function in at least one application and / or operating state.

[0012] Due to the design according to the invention, particularly in contrast to a main connecting surface arranged parallel to the main extension plane of the tool unit, the connecting unit and / or the tool unit can be advantageously kept short in the radial direction and / or a mass moment of inertia of the tool device can be advantageously kept small. In particular, an advantageously large maximum immersion depth of the tool unit into the workpiece can be achieved, particularly with an advantageously small mass moment of inertia.

[0013] It is further proposed that the tool unit and the connecting unit be secured to one another by at least one butt weld on the main connecting surface. The butt weld is preferably designed as a full-bore weld. The butt weld is preferably designed as an I-shaped weld, alternatively as a V-shaped weld, U-shaped weld, or the like. Alternatively, the connecting unit and the tool unit have a flanged butt weld, a T-shaped butt weld, a slanted butt weld, or a corner butt weld. The inventive design allows the tool device to be advantageously kept flat in the direction parallel to the pivot axis.It is further proposed that the tool device comprise at least one weld seam connecting the tool unit and the connecting unit, in particular the aforementioned butt weld seam, which extends at least substantially completely across the entire maximum transverse extent of the tool unit at the main connecting surface. "Substantially completely" is to be understood as meaning, in particular, more than 30%, preferably more than 60%, particularly preferably more than 90%. The tool device can have precisely one continuous weld seam at the main connecting surface or several weld seam sections and / or spot welds distributed across the main connecting surface in the direction of the maximum transverse extent.In a configuration with multiple weld seam sections and / or spot welds, their combined length preferably corresponds at least substantially to the entire maximum transverse extent of the tool unit at the main connection surface. The configuration according to the invention advantageously allows the tool device to be held stable, particularly even with a relatively small main connection surface.

[0014] It is further proposed that the connecting unit comprise at least one device interface, in particular the one already mentioned, for connection to the handheld power tool and at least one tool fastening projecting away from the tool fastening, to which the tool unit is fastened, wherein a maximum extension of the tool fastening from the device interface to the tool unit is at least less than 45% of a maximum extension of the device interface. Preferably, the tool unit is arranged with the main connection surface on the tool fastening, in particular welded to the tool fastening. A main extension plane of the device interface and the tool fastening can be identical, offset parallel to one another, or run obliquely to one another.Preferably, the maximum extension of the tool attachment, starting from the device interface, in the radial direction is less than 40%, particularly preferably less than 35%, in particular less than 25%, of the maximum extension of the device interface in the radial direction. Due to the design according to the invention, the connecting unit advantageously comprises little material, can advantageously be manufactured cost-effectively, and has an advantageously low mass moment of inertia with respect to the pivot axis.

[0015] It is further proposed that the connecting unit and the tool unit are arranged at least substantially flush with one another on the main connecting surface in a direction perpendicular to the main extension plane. The tool unit preferably has two largest outer surfaces, namely a top side and a bottom side. The largest outer surfaces are preferably aligned at least substantially parallel to one another and in particular to the main extension plane of the tool unit. The term "substantially parallel" is to be understood here in particular as an alignment of a direction relative to a reference direction, in particular in a plane, wherein the direction has a deviation from the reference direction of in particular less than 8°, advantageously less than 5° and particularly advantageously less than 2°. In particular, the smallest distance between the largest outer surfaces is equal to the material thickness of the tool unit.The upper side is preferably intended to be arranged facing the handheld power tool when the tool device is arranged on the drive.

The upper side can be aligned at least substantially flush with a surface or offset from a surface of the tool attachment. “Substantially flush” should preferably be understood to mean an offset of less than 15%, preferably less than 10%, particularly preferably less than 5% of the material thickness of the tool unit.In particular, an offset between two at least substantially flush surfaces is less than 0.3 mm, preferably less than 0.2 mm, particularly preferably less than 0.1 mm. In an alternative embodiment, the underside and the tool fastening are offset from one another, in particular by more than 0.3 mm, in a direction perpendicular to the pivoting plane, wherein such an offset is preferably less than 1 mm, preferably less than 0.75 mm, particularly preferably less than 0.5 mm. By means of the embodiment according to the invention, the risk of damage to a substrate when placing the tool device on the substrate and in particular when guiding the tool device along the substrate can be advantageously kept small.

[0016] It is further proposed that the tool device has a maximum immersion depth into the workpiece which is at least substantially equal to or greater than a maximum radial extent of the tool unit. The tool unit preferably has its maximum radial extent in the radial direction. The maximum radial extent can be the greatest extent of the tool unit or smaller than a maximum transverse extent of the tool unit perpendicular to the radial extent and a material thickness. Preferably, the base body has a smaller or equal material thickness than / as the machining element of the tool unit. The fact that two extents are “substantially equal” should preferably be understood to mean that they are equal to a deviation of less than 10%, preferably less than 7.5%, particularly preferably less than 5%, in particular less than 2.5% of the possibly greater extent.In some embodiments, the connecting unit forms a stop element which limits the maximum immersion depth. The stop element can, for example, be formed by a shoulder on the main connecting surface, which results when the material thickness of the connecting unit is greater than the material thickness of the main body of the tool unit. Alternatively, the main body and the connecting unit have at least substantially the same material thickness, in particular so that the maximum immersion depth extends radially beyond the main connecting surface. By means of the embodiment according to the invention, a maximum immersion depth to be provided can be achieved with an advantageously low mass moment of inertia of the tool device. In particular, an advantageously large immersion depth can be achieved with a predetermined maximum mass moment of inertia of the tool device.

The machining element is particularly preferably designed as a cutting bar, which can be geometrically defined or undefined. The machining element can be designed, in particular, for sawing, scraping, grinding, and / or cutting. The configuration according to the invention makes it possible to provide an advantageous blade tool device with an advantageously high immersion depth.

[0018] Furthermore, a handheld tool with an oscillating drive and with a tool device according to the invention that can be connected to the drive is proposed. The drive is preferably intended to generate a back-and-forth movement of the tool device, in particular with a maximum frequency of more than 5 kHz, preferably more than 10 kHz, particularly preferably more than 15 kHz. The handheld tool can preferably be held with one hand and preferably operated with one hand, in particular the same hand. The handheld tool has in particular a mass of less than 5 kg, preferably less than 3 kg, particularly preferably less than 2 kg. The tool device, in particular the device interface, and the drive are preferably designed for non-destructive attachment and detachment of the tool device from the drive. The tool device is preferably designed as a replaceable accessory part of the handheld tool.The design according to the invention makes it possible to provide a hand-held tool with an advantageously large immersion depth and / or an advantageously low energy requirement due to an advantageously low mass moment of inertia of the tool device.

[0019] Furthermore, a method for producing a tool device according to the invention is proposed. Preferably, the tool unit and the connecting unit are manufactured in separate production steps as at least predominantly steel finished parts. Preferably, the tool unit is aligned with the main connecting surface facing the connecting unit and, in particular, is arranged on the tool fastening of the connecting unit. Preferably, the connecting unit, in particular the tool fastening, and the tool unit are connected to one another by fusion welding, in particular without welding aid or with welding aid. Particularly preferably, the tool unit and the connecting unit are connected to one another at the main connecting surface by laser welding, alternatively by resistance fusion welding, by arc fusion welding, or the like.The design according to the invention enables an advantageously large immersion depth of the tool device to be achieved.

[0020] It is further proposed that the tool unit and the connecting unit be butt-welded to one another. Preferably, the main connecting surface of the tool unit butts the tool fastening of the connecting unit. A main extension plane of the mating connecting surface of the tool fastening preferably runs transversely, in particular at least substantially perpendicular, to the pivoting plane. The mating connecting surface can be completely or partially flat, curved, or provided with steps. The mating connecting surface and the main connecting surface are, for example, complementary, rotationally symmetrical, and / or mirror-symmetrical to one another. The main connecting surface and the mating connecting surface are preferably arranged facing one another and subsequently welded together. The design according to the invention makes it possible to achieve an advantageously large immersion depth of the tool device.

In particular, the tool device according to the invention, the handheld power tool according to the invention, and / or the method according to the invention may, in order to fulfill a functionality described herein, have a number of individual elements, components, units, and method steps that differs from the number stated herein.
