A pressing member is rotatably supported by a fixing screw shaft via a ball bearing. The pressing member is made of synthetic resin and is larger in diameter compared to that of the fixing screw shaft. A connection bar is pressed by the pressing member by fastening the fixing screw shaft, and the position of the connection bar is thereby fixed. Because the pressing member has a large diameter, a dent is not generated on the connection bar. Furthermore, because the pressing member is not rotated in the fixed position, the position of the connection bar is not offset, enhancing the ability of fixing the connection bar with precise adjustment.

A table tool includes a table, a saw blade, a motor, a controller, a sensing device and a first switch. The table has a work plane on which a workpiece is placed. The saw blade acts on the workpiece. The motor drives the saw blade to rotate. The controller is used for controlling rotation of the motor. The sensing device is electrically connected to the controller and used for sensing a state of the workpiece and outputting a first signal to the controller. The first switch is used for a user to select a working mode from at least two working modes of the table tool. When the table tool is in a first working mode, the controller is configured to adjust a rotational speed of the motor to be a first rotational speed based on an acquired first signal or a working parameter of the motor.

A power tool with a rotatable tool designed as a saw blade or a milling cutter. The power tool includes a sensor device for detecting a mechanical quantity, the mechanical quantity including a force, an acceleration, a velocity, a deflection, a deformation and/or a mechanical stress. The mechanical quantity is dependent on a force emanating from the tool, and a control device communicatively coupled to the sensor device. The control device is adapted to recognize a kickback event based on the detected mechanical quantity, in which the control device is adapted to selectively determine a first recognition function or a second recognition function different from the first recognition function based on a function determination information, and to perform the recognition of the kickback event based on the detected mechanical quantity using the determined recognition function.

An automated crosscut saw system utilizing a wood scanning unit to optimize the cuts in a particular piece of wood to remove defects or flaws and a method of use therefor is provided. The automated saw system has the ability to scan and cut a piece of wood simultaneously or in rapid succession without the need for scanning the entire length of the wood prior to cutting. Further, the automated saw system may eliminate the need for a secondary feeder and secondary queue.

A blade clamp with first and second gripping members configured to hold a cutting blade, a lever connected to the clamp by a connection member, and a head that receives the connection member that extends through an aperture of the head. The connection member can move along a first axis through the aperture of the head and move the clamp along the first axis based on a position of the lever. The first and the second gripping members of the clamp can clamp the cutting blade along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis based on a position of the clamp along the first axis. The lever can include an eccentric cam surface that engages a cam follower. The eccentric cam surface can cause the clamp to provide a clamping force and tension to the cutting blade.

In accordance with an example embodiment, a saw blade sharpness mechanism for use on a tree sawing device, having a saw blade which rotates to saw trees. The saw blade dulls over time during normal operating conditions, and the speed of the saw blade decreases as the saw blade contacts the tree during sawing operation. The speed of the saw blade during sawing operations decreases more after repeated operations as the saw blade dulls. A sensor senses the speed of the saw blade. A processor receives inputs from the sensor and determines when the speed of the saw blade during tree sawing operation has decreased due to wear to a point that it would be more economical to replace the saw blade with a new sharper blade. When such condition is determined, the processor sends a signal to an indicator which sends a signal to the operator.

A reciprocating saw includes a casing, a clamping mechanism, a bracket, a first light-emitting piece, and a second light-emitting piece. The casing extends in a front-and-rear direction and forms an accommodation space. The clamping mechanism is disposed at least partially in the accommodation space and configured to clamp an operation accessory. The bracket is disposed at least partially on a front side of the clamping mechanism. The first light-emitting piece and the second light-emitting piece are disposed on a front side of the casing. The first light-emitting piece fits with the bracket and the operation accessory so that a cutting indicator line distributed in an extension direction of the operation accessory is formed. The second light-emitting piece fits with the bracket so that a cutting indicator region perpendicular to the cutting indicator line and extending in an up-and-down direction is formed.

A method for controlling a device system (10) having a saw blade (14) that is attached to a saw arm (15) and that can be moved along an advancing direction (26) by a motor-driven advancing mechanism (13), whereby there is an infeed motion of the saw arm (15) with the saw blade (14) into the workpiece (18) and, during the infeed motion of the saw arm (15) into the workpiece (18), a control unit (27) calculates an arc length (φ) of the saw blade (14) that is engaged with the workpiece (18), and the calculated arc length (φ) is compared to a pre-set, critical arc length (φ.sub.crit) of the saw blade (14).

An oil pressure mobile device for a wood working machine is provided in a wood working machine, including a power mechanism and a lifting mechanism. The power mechanism is provided with an oil hydraulic cylinder having its inner wall annularly mounted with a piston fixed with a telescopic rod. The lifting mechanism is disposed with two wheel pressing plates at the underside of the wood working machine. The two wheel pressing plates are jointly provided with a connecting link connected with the telescopic rod, and respectively installed with a moving wheel. Thus, the telescopic rod is driven by the power mechanism to extend or retract and actuate the wheel pressing plates to produce angular variation to make the moving wheels stretch out of the housing of the wood working machine for facilitating shifting of the wood working machine with less labor.

Apparatuses and methods based thereon are provided for onboard measurements in miter saws. A measurement device may be attached to or incorporated into a miter saw, where the measurement device being configured to provide onboard measurement when cuts are made using the miter saw. The measurement device may comprise a tape based measurement device. The measurement device may be portable to enable detaching it from the miter saw when on-location measurements are made, and attaching it to the miter saw when cut measurements are provided. The measurement device may comprise an output component (e.g., digital display) for outputting measurement readings and/or information associated with cut measurements. The measurement device (and/or the miter saw itself) may be configured for communicating signals wirelessly in accordance with one or more wireless technologies, such as to enable receiving measurements made remotely.
