Two 18V-type rechargeable batteries (31 and 31) are attached in series so as to allow a 36V-type tabletop cutting device (C1) to be utilized. By utilizing the 18V batteries which are highly prevalent for electric tools, it is possible to use the 36V-type tabletop cutting device (C1) as well as to reduce costs for the batteries.

The present invention relates to a portable power tool (1) arranged for driving a rotatable cutting tool (2). The power tool (1) comprises a motor (5) and a transmission part (4) that is arranged to transfer power from the motor (5) to a tool holder (10), and comprises a first arm part (11; 11′) and a second arm part (12; 12′). The first arm part (11; 11′) comprises a first belt pulley (13) and the second arm part comprises a second belt pulley (14), the arm parts (11, 12; 11′, 12′) being slidably connected to each other. The belt pulleys (13, 14) are spaced apart by a certain distance (d-i, d2). The transmission part (4) further comprises a tensioning device (20) with a rod (21), a pre-tensioned resilient device (22), a linkage arrangement (25) and a rotatable part (26). The rotatable part (26) is rotatable between a first, released, state where the belt pulleys (13, 14) are spaced apart by a first distance (d-i), and a second, tightened, state where the belt pulleys (13,14) are spaced apart by a second distance (d2) that exceeds the first distance (d-i), the resilient device (22) being more compressed in the second state than in the first state.

An automated crosscut saw system utilizing a wood scanning unit to optimize the cuts in a particular piece of wood to remove defects or flaws and a method of use therefor is provided. The automated saw system has the ability to scan and cut a piece of wood simultaneously or in rapid succession without the need for scanning the entire length of the wood prior to cutting. Further, the automated saw system may eliminate the need for a secondary feeder and secondary queue.

An oil pressure mobile device for a wood working machine is provided in a wood working machine, including a power mechanism and a lifting mechanism. The power mechanism is provided with an oil hydraulic cylinder having its inner wall annularly mounted with a piston fixed with a telescopic rod. The lifting mechanism is disposed with two wheel pressing plates at the underside of the wood working machine. The two wheel pressing plates are jointly provided with a connecting link connected with the telescopic rod, and respectively installed with a moving wheel. Thus, the telescopic rod is driven by the power mechanism to extend or retract and actuate the wheel pressing plates to produce angular variation to make the moving wheels stretch out of the housing of the wood working machine for facilitating shifting of the wood working machine with less labor.

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.
