A hand-held band saw has a housing having an opening defining a cut zone. A first wheel and a second wheel are supported by the housing. The first and second wheels define a blade support portion configured to support a continuous blade to be driven through the cut zone. A handle extends from the housing, the handle having a grip portion. A blade guard is coupled to the housing and configured to move between open and closed positions with respect to the housing. The blade guard is configured to cover the blade support portion in the closed position. A chip vent is configured to provide an outlet for workpiece debris formed during a cutting operation, and a tire brush is configured to engage at least one of the first or second wheels to remove workpiece debris from the at least one of the first or second wheels.

A band saw with an expanded cutting section is provided. The band saw includes left and right semicircular shaped bearing assemblies. A saw blade overlaps the left and right semicircular bearing assemblies. An external housing encloses the left and right bearing assemblies and the saw blade. The expanded cutting section is carved into the external housing and extends in between bottom tips of the left and right bearing assemblies.

A hand-held band saw has a handle for grasping the band saw, a motor, a drive wheel driven by the motor, a driven wheel and a continuous blade disposed about the drive wheel and the driven wheel. A portion of the continuous blade is positioned in a cut zone to perform a cutting operation. A workpiece guard is spaced from the portion of the continuous blade and positioned between the portion of the continuous blade and the handle for limiting movement of the workpiece after the cutting operation.

A device and method are disclosed. An embodiment of a sliding sled for use on a saw table includes a flat plate, adjustable guide fences on the flat plate at a fixed pivot end to create an oblique angle relative to the saw table, an indexing system including angle indicators to set the angles of the adjustable guide fences, roller bearings on the bottom side of the flat plate for riding on the ACCU-SLICE rail, and a sawdust shield to keep sawdust off the roller bearings and ACCU-SLICE rail. Guide fences may have a fixed pivot end and a movable end and a locking bolt to temporarily fix the movable end at a desired position on the plate. The movable end of the adjustable guide fences may align with the angle indicators when the angle of the adjustable guide fence relative to the cutting plane corresponds to the angle indicators.

A handheld band saw includes a housing assembly including a battery pack mounting portion for mounting a battery pack, a rotating wheel assembly at least partially disposed in the housing assembly and including a first rotating wheel and a second rotating wheel, where the first rotating wheel and the second rotating wheel are configured to be substantially symmetrical about a midplane, an electric motor disposed in the housing assembly and capable of driving one of the first rotating wheel and the second rotating wheel to rotate, a fan which is capable of generating at least one airflow in the housing assembly, and a control circuit board disposed in the housing assembly.

A sawing machine for bevel cuts having an upper saw portion with two running wheels, one of which is motor driven, a saw band which rotates about the running wheels, a lifting and lowering device for the upward and downward movement of the upper saw portion to move the saw band with a sawing advance movement in a sawing region, a transport path for supplying a workpiece in a supply direction to the sawing region, a frame, on which the upper saw portion is retained and which is pivotable about a vertical axis in order to adjust a bevel angle between the saw band and the supply direction. A movable sawing table is arranged in the sawing region for positioning the workpiece to be sawn and a clamping vice for clamping the workpiece during the sawing operation. The sawing table and the clamping vice are constructed to be movable in and counter to the supply direction.

A rope saw for cutting panels to size includes an elongate frame, which includes a support for placing panels to be sawn thereon. Two wheels are attached to the frame for mounting a revolving saw rope, between which extends a longitudinal direction of the frame. An electric motor is attached to the frame for driving one of the two wheels. The electric motor includes a motor shaft, which extends in longitudinal direction of the frame and which is coupled via a flexible shaft to one of the two wheels.
