The disclosure provides a miter saw that includes a base, a table, a cutting assembly, and a linkage assembly. The table defines a supporting surface and is rotatably coupled to the base to rotate about a miter axis. The cutting assembly includes a housing that supports a motor to which a saw blade is rotatably coupled, and a handle that extends from the housing. The cutting assembly is pivotable between raised and lowered positions and is movable relative to the table between forward and rearward positions. The linkage assembly is pivotally coupled to the table and the cutting assembly. The linkage assembly includes a floating link, a first link, and a second link. The floating link is pivotally coupled to the cutting assembly. The first link is pivotally coupled to the table and the floating link. The second link is pivotally coupled to the table and to the floating link.

An automated inline rip saw system utilizing x-ray and optical scanning techniques to identify and detect flaws within a piece of wood. The present system may further utilize a precision skewing unit which may reduce or eliminate errors while allowing for precision rip cuts to be performed. Further, the present automated inline rip saw system may utilize multiple independently controlled saw blades to perform precision cuts. Finally, the present inline rip saw system may allow for more accurate detection of flaws or undesirable inclusions within the wood earlier in the wood production process, including the ability to scan for, identify, and remove sap wood from green lumber.

An environment-friendly dust-free desktop cutting machine includes a housing and a cutting work platform arranged on the housing. The cutting work platform is provided with a saw opening. An air intake chamber is arranged under the cutting work platform, and the saw opening is configured as an air inlet of the air intake chamber at the same time. The air intake chamber is provided with an air outlet of the air intake chamber, and a horizontal centrifugal separator is installed at the air outlet of the air intake chamber. A rear end of the horizontal centrifugal separator is provided with a dust-dropping port of the separator, a first dust collecting box is arranged at the dust-dropping port of the separator, a front end of the horizontal centrifugal separator is provided with an air outlet of the separator, a filter cylinder is arranged at the air outlet of the separator.

An adjustable toe board, an adjustable toe board assembly, kit and sawmill comprising the adjustable toe board are provided. The toe board comprises a baseplate having a first end, an opposed second end, and a rod extending away from the baseplate. The toe board includes a support bar pivotably coupled to the baseplate proximate the first end, spaced apart from the rod, and extending towards the second end, the support bar being configured to support a log. The toe board also includes a ratcheting arm pivotably coupled to the support bar, the ratcheting arm having a plurality of spaced-apart teeth defining notches adapted and positioned to selectively engage with the rod, wherein selective engagement of the teeth with the rod enables pivotal adjustment and releasable locking of the support bar relative to the baseplate during operation.

A compound miter saw (1; 70; 90) includes a turntable-fixing mechanism (40) and a tilt-fixing mechanism (60; 80; 100) configured to respectively fix the miter angle and tilt (bevel) angle of a cutting-machine main body (10). The turntable-fixing mechanism includes a fixing rod (42) configured to lock rotation of a turntable (4; 91) relative to a base (2) by manually rotating a grip (41) attached thereto, and is disposed forward of a front surface of a table-extension part (5; 71; 92), downward of an upper surface of the turntable, and at the center of the table-extension part in the left-right direction. The tilt-fixing mechanism includes a manually rotatable tilt-fixing manipulatable part (61; 81; 101) provided between the front surface of the table-extension part and the grip. A rotary shaft (61a; 82a; 102a) of the tilt-fixing manipulatable part is coaxial with the fixing rod (rotary shaft) attached to the grip.
