A circular saw including a base defining a longitudinal axis. The circular saw further includes a front bevel angle adjustment bracket proximate a front end of the base and a rear bevel angle adjustment bracket proximate a rear end of the base. The circular saw further includes a saw unit coupled to the base via the front bevel angle adjustment bracket and the rear bevel angle adjustment bracket. The circular saw further comprises a first fastener extending through a first elongated slot in one of the base or the front bevel angle adjustment bracket and a second fastener extending through a second elongated slot in one of the base or the rear bevel angle adjustment bracket. Each of the first and second elongated slots extends along a lateral axis oriented transverse to the longitudinal axis of the base to permit lateral adjustment of the saw unit relative to the base.

A wet cutting saw for cutting a ground portion, the wet cutting saw including a blade rotatable about an axis, a liquid feed conduit for feeding liquid onto a surface of the blade as it rotates, a frame for carrying the blade and configured to travel over a surface of the ground portion, and a mounting assembly that mounts the blade to the frame, at least part of the mounting assembly pivotable relative to the frame to raise and lower the blade relative to the frame.

A cutting device may include a friction reducing device arranged in an operational force transmission path between an operation member and a fixing device that can fix a circular cutter to a rotational shaft of a cutting unit.

A miter saw includes a base assembly and a saw unit pivotably coupled to the base assembly. The saw unit includes a saw blade and a lower blade guard covering a lower portion of the saw blade. The miter saw also includes a linkage for raising the lower blade guard to expose the lower portion of the saw blade as the saw unit is lowered toward the base assembly. The linkage is operable to apply a force to the lower blade guard for holding the lower blade guard in a raised position, without any input from the operator of the miter saw and without changing the length of the linkage, to facilitate changing the saw blade.

A foldable miter saw and folding method of miter saw are disclosed. The foldable miter saw includes a base unit, a workable, and a cutting unit. The cutting unit includes a support arm pivotally mounted on the worktable, a saw blade, and a driver. The miter saw folding method includes the step of biasing the cutting unit relative to the base unit and the step of rotating the support arm relative to the base unit and the worktable to change the cutting unit from a working position to a folded position, thus reducing the vertical space occupied by the cutting unit and facilitating delivery, storage and package of the foldable miter saw.

A power tool is provided including a brushless DC (BLDC) motor having a stator assembly and a rotor; a substantially-cylindrical motor housing having an open end for receiving the stator assembly, a rear end, a substantially-cylindrical bearing pocket formed in the rear end to receive the rear bearing of the motor therein, and a radially-extending slot formed at or near its rear end; and a positional sensor board radially received within the slot along a central receiving axis. The positional sensor board includes a curved inner edge shaped to be positioned around the bearing pocket and includes positional sensors mounted around the curved inner edge and facing the rotor to sense a rotational position of the rotor. The curved inner edge is disposed on a side corner of the positional sensor board such that the positional sensor board is asymmetrically-shape in a direction of the receiving axis.

A miter saw assembly is presented as a power tool, the miter saw assembly includes a base; a fixture supported on said base; a proximal pair of arms, hinged with four hinges to said fixture at a first hinge point; a gear box plate, hinged with four hinges to said proximal pair of arms at a second hinge point; a distal pair of arms, hinged with four hinges to said gear box at a first end, and a second end hinged with four hinges to said distal pair of arms; a gearing assembly hinged to said gear box plate, with a first gear attached to a first one of said proximal pair of arms and a second gear attached to a first one of said distal pair of arms, and a rotary saw, mounted to said second end of said distal pair of arms.

A cutting machine can include a cutting machine body that is movably supported above a table and capable of vertical movement, the cutting machine body can be positioned at an upward waiting position and a lower end position. The cutting machine body can include an auxiliary cover positioned around a portion of a blade and including a projection. When in the upward waiting position the auxiliary cover is not able to move upward because of the position of the projection, and in the lower end position the auxiliary cover is able to move upward.
