An emergency stop device of a wood planing machine is fixed with a wood planing machine. The emergency stop device includes an elongated touch board, two push buttons and two elastic members. The elongated touch board covers the push buttons and the elastic members, and the push buttons are electrically connected with a power supply unit, while the elastic members have their elastic ends pressing against the elongated touch board. Thus, in normal state, the elastic members will press against the elongated touch board and in emergency, the elongated touch board can be pressed to compress the elastic members and further press the push buttons to stop the power supply unit and make the wood planing machine stop operating.

A safety system with a number of component devices that may be used alone or in combination to substantially reduce the risk of injury to the operator of the power cutting tool. The devices are designed for use with table saws, miter saws, jointers, routers, shapers and similar equipment. The devices secure a work piece against unanticipated movement and kickback while simultaneously protecting the operator's hands. The devices further enhance the capabilities of power equipment to make precise cuts safer, faster and easier. One such device includes a guide member for engaging a work piece and an adjustable alignment member for orienting the position of the guide member relative to a cutting blade.

A waste processing machine for reducing waste material and having a safety device for shearing lines. A housing defines a cutting chamber and an intake opening in communication with the cutting chamber for receiving waste material. A disc is disposed in the cutting chamber, rotates about an axis, and has an axial surface facing the intake opening. A cutting member is fixed to the disc for revolution about the axis concurrent with rotation of the disc for reducing waste material. A cutting anvil is coupled to the housing adjacent to the intake opening and faces the axial surface of the disc for reducing waste material between the cutting anvil and the cutting member. A line shear element is attached to the housing, extends into the cutting chamber toward the axial surface of the disc, and is spaced from the cutting anvil for shearing lines caught by the rotating disc.

Machines with safety systems are disclosed. The machine may take the form of woodworking machines including table saws, band saws, miter saws, hand-held circular saws, pneumatic chop saws, radial-arm saws, jointers, planars, routers and shapers. The machines may include an operative structure configured to perform a task, where the operative structure includes a cutting tool adapted to move in at least one motion, and a safety system adapted to detect the occurrence of an unsafe condition between a person and the cutting tool and for mitigating the unsafe condition. The safety system may include a detection subsystem and a reaction subsystem. The machine may also include a bypass or override mode where in an injury mitigation system is disabled for certain cuts.

A temperature monitoring device for tool spindles of woodworking machines such as moulding machines, with a spindle housing in which a spindle shaft with at least one rotary bearing is supported, has at least one temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the rotary bearing of the spindle. Signals are supplied to at least one evaluation unit which converts the signals to temperature values. The temperature values are stored in at least one cloud from where the data by an app located on a smart device and/or by a browser can be retrieved.
