Provided is a cutting tool that includes a cutting head, a frame, a working table, a guiding rail assembly, and a fence. The cutting head is configured to perform a cutting function. The frame is configured to support the cutting head. The working table is configured to place an object to be cut. The guiding rail assembly is configured to enable the working table to slide along a first straight line relative to the frame. The fence is mounted to the working table, includes at least one fence surface extending in a direction perpendicular to the first straight line. The cutting tool enables a workpiece to be cut to be stably placed on the working table during a cutting operation.

A miter saw assembly includes a cutting tool configured to perform a cut along a cutting axis. A stop mechanism is linearly translatable in a first direction. A rotary motor includes a selectively rotatable rotor and a motion conversion mechanism configured to transform rotary motion of the rotor to linear motion of the stop mechanism in the first direction. A controller is configured to selectively rotate the rotor to cause linear translation of the stop mechanism toward or away from the cutting axis. A position detection system includes a visual sensor coupled to the stop mechanism and a ruler strip. The ruler strip includes a plurality of spaced apart position indicators configured for detection by the visual sensor in order to determine a position of the stop mechanism relative to the cutting axis of the cutting tool via position correlating perform by the controller.

A bench saw, including a support structure with a lay-on section which provides a lay-on surface, as well as a saw blade which engages through an opening of the lay-on section, so that at least a part of the saw blade is located below the lay-on section lower side, a housing arrangement which is located below the lay-on section lower side and which surrounds the part of the saw blade which is located below the lay-on section lower side, where the saw blade is pivotable together with the housing arrangement relative to the lay-on section, in order to adjust an angle between a cutting plane of the saw blade and the lay-on surface. The bench saw further includes a cover flap which covers a gap between the housing arrangement and the lay-on section lower side, the gap arising on pivoting the housing arrangement.

A table saw includes a table work surface, main rails supported on opposed sides of the table work surface, and a fence mounted on the main rails so as to be slidable relative to table work surface. The table saw also includes an extension assembly having extension rails that support an extension work surface and connector assemblies that couple the extension rails to the main rails. The main rails together with the extension rails provide a continuous fence contact surface that extends along the entire length of the table top and the extension assembly. The connector assemblies each include a hook that engages with a latch plate, and the hook is assembled with the latch plate via a pivoting action.

A stop assembly may include a first portion configured to selectively operably engage a track of a tool and a stop portion operably engaged with the first portion configured to releasably engage a workpiece. The stop portion may be pivotable between a disengaged position and an engaged position relative to the first portion. The stop portion may move in a rotational direction toward the first portion when moving from the disengaged position to the engaged position. A method of use may include pivoting a stop portion of a stop assembly, about a pivot axis defined by a pivot shaft of the stop assembly, to an engaged position such that the stop portion moves in a rotational direction toward a first portion of the stop assembly.
