An attachable and extendable saw and methods for cutting objects with the attachable and extendable saw are provided. The attachable and extendable saw can include a blade housing coupled to a main body. The blade housing at least partially covers a saw blade and the extendable member can be configured to move the saw blade with or without the blade housing between a retracted position and an extended position relative to the main body. The extendable saw can also include means to drive the saw blade, means to drive the extendable member, and means for attaching the attachable and extendable saw to the objects to be cut. Saw blade height adjustment means, handles for ease of use, and eyelets for tethering are provided. The saw blade is attached to the attachable and extendable saw via pins and fasteners.

An electric powered work machine according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: a tool; a motor; a manual switch; an electric current path; a shunt resistor; a reference voltage generation circuit; and an electric current measurement circuit. The reference voltage generation circuit (i) generates a reference voltage having a first magnitude in response to a first condition being established, and (ii) generates the reference voltage having a second magnitude in response to the first condition not being established. The electric current measurement circuit (i) receives the reference voltage and a measured voltage, and (ii) outputs an output voltage based on the reference voltage and the measured voltage.

A power miter saw includes an activation assembly including a lever, a spring loaded drive rod passing through an underside of the table, a curved link pivotably secured to the drive rod, a pivotal member pivotably secured to the curved link and secured to the lever, a driven rod, a clamping member in an edge of a positioning seat, and an axle through the positioning seat and having an end pivotably disposed in a support seat; a graduated member including apertures; and a locking device including a hollow member having two side slots, a spring loaded cam member, and a transverse bar passing through the positioning seat, the slots, and the cam member; a spring loaded pin secured to a forward end of the hollow member; and two lever members secured to two ends of the transverse bar respectively. A pivotal movement of the lever unfastens a positioning seat.

An extendable saw can include a blade housing coupled to a main body by at least one extendable member, the blade housing at least partially covers a saw blade and the extendable member can be configured to move the blade housing and the saw blade between a retracted position and an extended position relative to the main body. The extendable saw can also include a motorized unit coupled to the saw blade and configured to rotate or provide other blade movement to the saw blade and a switchable device or unit disposed on the main body and having at least one contact surface that is switchable between a magnetized or vacuum state and a non-magnetized state or non-vacuum state, respectively. The saw blade can be attached to or coupled to a base plate, shaft or arbor with fasteners that are flush or countersunk below a surface of the blade.
