A safety system for a power tool having a motor and a cutting tool driven by the motor includes a control device configured to detect a direct contact of a conductive material with the cutting tool, the direct contact of the conductive material with the cutting tool defining a contact event, and a braking device movable between a retracted position and an engaged position. The control device is configured to interrupt electrical power to the motor and control the braking device to the engaged position when the contact event is detected.

A protective device for a hand-held power tool, in particular an angle grinder, includes a machine housing, a protective hood, and a securing element. The machine housing has a flange neck that surrounds an output shaft that defines an output axis. The protective hood has a protective hood collar. The securing element is formed as a securing ring that is configured, in at least one operating state, to prevent the protective hood from twisting relative to the machine housing. The machine housing is configured to be detachably connected to one or more of the protective hood and the securing element. The securing ring has a thread, in particular an internal thread, which in at least one connection state is configured to movably mount and hold the protective hood in an axial direction of the output axis relative to the flange neck.

The invention relates to a machine tool and to a method by means of which workpieces of, for example, wood or wood materials can be machined. Such a machine tool and such a method can be used in the field of furniture production or component in production. A separating element is provided. A first machining region can be at least partly separated from a second machining region by the separating element.

A woodworking spindle has a spindle shaft disposed in a spindle housing. One or more rotary bearings support the spindle shaft in the spindle housing. One or more temperature sensors are provided that detect the temperature of the one or more rotary bearings. An evaluation unit is provided and temperature signals generated by the temperature sensors are supplied to the evaluation unit that generates output signals based on evaluation of the temperature signals generated by the temperature sensors. In a method for monitoring the temperature of rotary bearings of a spindle of a woodworking machine, the temperature of the rotary bearings is permanently detected and rotary bearing temperature signals are generated. The rotary bearing temperature signals are sent to an evaluation unit and compared with a first temperature limit value. A first output signal is generated when the temperature signals reach a first temperature limit value.

A safety system for powered cutting tools includes a miter saw safety device. Embodiments of the miter saw safety device may be positioned on one or both sides of the rotating saw blade and include a pivotable support arm and a support plate that is repositionable relative to the support arm. In some embodiments the support plate is biased toward the guide fence of the miter saw. The device enhances the capabilities of miter saw to make precise cuts safer, faster and easier.

A set-up gauge for precision alignment of the cutting knives in a cutter head. The set-up gauge utilizes a support bar extending laterally across the wood shaper. Also included is a bracket slidably secured to the support bar and a rod extending outwardly from the bracket, the rod further comprising first end and second ends. Further included is a magnetic disc secured to the second end of the rod, the magnetic disc for contact with a surface of the cutting knives to identify a common inset distance for each of the cutting knives relative to the guide fence.

A carpentry featherboard having a curved contact surface generally configured in the shape of a spiral and having a pivot point of the body and a plurality of radii defined between the pivot point and portions of the contact surface, the radii progressively increasing in dimension to define the spiral shape of the featherboard body.
