A power tool attachment saw according to the invention is provide and includes a body plate, a connector section and a plurality of cutting walls. The body plate is a planar body and the connector section positioned on one side of the planar body and adapted for attachment to an oscillating power tool. The plurality of cutting walls are positioned orthogonal to and extend from exterior edges of the planar body to form a material receiving space. The plurality of cutting walls provide a uniform cutting edge about the material receiving space.

Apparatus for converting rotary motion to linear motion and/or linear motion to rotary motion, comprising: a rotatable piece (24) having a surface, the piece being rotatable about an axis thereof; at least one member (26a-d) having a linking surface (44a-d) facing the surface of the rotatable piece and arranged for restricted movement at least in part laterally relative to the axis of the piece; and located between the surface of the rotatable piece and the or each reciprocating member, means for linking the linking surface of the respective member and the surface of the rotatable piece, wherein the means for linking (30a-d), the surface of the rotatable piece and the linking surface are configured to cooperate so that rotational motion of the rotatable piece causes linear movement of the at least one member, and/or linear movement of the at least one member causes rotational motion of the rotatable piece. A sawing device may include said apparatus, the sawing device being for cutting by repetitive reciprocating cutting action of at least one blade on a surface of an object to be cut. A saw blade (10a-d) may be configured for such a sawing device.

A hole saw includes a base member configured to secure the hole saw to a drive device and a blade member extending orthogonally from each side of the base member. Each blade member is configured having respective distal ends that flex transversely to a longitudinal cutting direction of the blade member. Responsive to rotational movement of the hole saw via the drive device against a structure, a medial location of each blade member creates an initial respective linear cutting path into the structure, and further movement of the respective blade members into the structure cause the distal ends of the respective blade members to flex transversely to the cutting direction and follow the initial linear cutting path despite the rotational movement of the hole saw relative to the structure to produce a linear cut through the structure.

A reciprocating cutting tool is provided, wherein the tool has a reciprocating saw mode and a jig saw mode. The tool includes a reciprocating mechanism; an actuating mechanism and a cutter-lifting mechanism. The reciprocating mechanism includes a reciprocating rod and the cutter-lifting mechanism includes an actuating member and a pushing member. The actuating member includes a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion when the reciprocating rod is driven to perform a reciprocating motion , the reciprocating rod drives the pushing member to deflect close to the first engaging portion or second engaging portion; when the first engaging portion or the second engaging portion is driven to move close to the pushing member, the first engaging portion or second engaging portion pushes the pushing member towards the side which the first engaging portion or the second engaging portion deflects to force the reciprocating rod to implement a cutter-lifting motion.

Responsive to rotational movement of the hole saw via the drive device against a structure, a medial location of each blade member creates an initial respective linear cutting path into the structure, and further movement of the respective blade members into the structure cause the distal ends of the respective blade members to flex transversely to the cutting direction and follow the initial linear cutting path despite the rotational movement of the hole saw relative to the structure to produce a linear cut through the structure.

A utility knife assembly includes a case having a slot in which two blades are received. A resilient plate is secured in the slot and includes two resilient fingers to push the blades out from the slot. A switch unit is connected to the case and selectively activates either one of the two blades to be pivoted out from the slot.

A tool that cuts a hole for a single or double electric gang switch box. By having four blades, all cutting at the same time and in the shape of the switch box, a more accurate and appropriately placed hole may be provided. The hole saw may be configured with two centering drills so the tool is guided into the cut. An eccentric drive mechanism converts a rotary drive into reciprocating movement of perpendicularly opposed pairs of blades to cut a rectangular opening.

A method including providing a ceramic log (300) with a first end and an opposing second end; providing one or more cutting devices (100) comprised of a dual bladed cutting member (200); and removing material by cutting at least the first end with the dual bladed cutting member (200), wherein a first blade (210) of the dual bladed cutting member (200) provides a finished surface and a second blade (220) removes a percentage of scrap above the finished surface. An apparatus (100) for cutting a ceramic log (300).

Apparatus for converting rotary motion to linear motion and/or linear motion to rotary motion, comprising: a rotatable piece (24) having a surface, the piece being rotatable about an axis thereof; at least one member (26a-d) having a linking surface (44a-d) facing the surface of the rotatable piece and arranged for restricted movement at least in part laterally relative to the axis of the piece; and located between the surface of the rotatable piece and the or each reciprocating member, means for linking the linking surface of the respective member and the surface of the rotatable piece, wherein the means for linking (30a-d), the surface of the rotatable piece and the linking surface are configured to cooperate so that rotational motion of the rotatable piece causes linear movement of the at least one member, and/or linear movement of the at least one member causes rotational motion of the rotatable piece. A sawing device may include said apparatus, the sawing device being for cutting by repetitive reciprocating cutting action of at least one blade on a surface of an object to be cut. A saw blade (10a-d) may be configured for such a sawing device.
