A saw system capable of cutting through a workpiece in one stroke is provided. The saw system includes a base, a turntable mounted on the base for rotation about a vertical axis, a support structure defining a cutting axis and fixedly attached to the turntable, and an elongated blade including a cutting edge. The turntable has a substantially planar support surface for supporting a workpiece. The support structure includes a pair of parallel sliding members having proximal and distal ends. The saw system further includes a handle assembly coupled with a bearing member, which is mechanically engaged with the sliding members, and an elongated blade fixedly attached to the bearing member. The elongated blade includes a serrated cutting edge that is acutely angled relative to the support surface.

A power tool including a housing having a handle configured to be grasped by a user, a motor supported by the housing, a driving gear rotated by the motor, and a driven gear engaging the driving gear to be rotated by the driving gear about a rotation axis. The power tool also includes a pin extending from the driven gear and offset from the rotation axis and a spindle having a yoke coupled to the pin to translate rotation of the driven gear into reciprocating motion of the spindle. A notch is formed in an outer periphery of the yoke to provide clearance for the driving gear as the spindle is driven by the pin.

A foldable saw is provided in which a latch mechanism for latching and securing a freely foldable saw blade body in its use position can be produced and assembled very easily with a minimum number of components on the basis of an idea different from the conventional ideas and that exerts a favorable latching effect. The foldable saw 1 includes, on a saw handle body 20, a latch body 10 made of spring wire and including a coil section 11, a stop pin section 12, a latch section 13, and an operation section 15. The saw handle body 20 includes at least a seating recess 23, a pin hole 24, and a receiving groove 22. The latch body 10 is configured, in the state of being attached to the saw handle body 20, such that the latch section 13 located in front of the coil section 11 enters into the receiving groove 22 by spring bias, and that the latch section 13 retreats against the spring bias in response to an operation of the operation section 15 located in the rear of the coil section 11.
