Various aspects directed towards a benchtop circular saw are disclosed. In a first aspect, a benchtop includes a sliding table having openings that facilitate coupling a removable fence with the sliding table. In another aspect, a removable fence includes a housing, a locking mechanism, and a locking peg in which the locking mechanism facilitates toggling the locking peg between a locked position and an unlocked position. In yet another aspect, benchtop includes a circular saw blade, a sliding table, and a removable fence. Here, the sliding table includes openings to facilitate attaching the removable fence onto the sliding table.

A worktable (100), having: a left slot grid (102); a right slot grid (104) secured to the left slot grid; and a center slide (106) configured to be adjustably positionable between the left slot grid and the right slot grid.

Auxiliary fences for a saw that includes a saw blade and a primary fence. The auxiliary fence includes a fixed plate and a moveable plate. The fixed plate is removably coupled to the primary fence. The moveable plate is moveably coupled to the fixed plate. The moveable plate extends between a trailing end and a leading end longitudinally opposite the trailing end. The leading end is disposed proximate a cutting path of the saw. The trailing end is disposed distal the cutting path. The moveable plate is configured to move to selectively adjust the spacing between the leading end and the cutting path.

A fence assembly configured to guide a workpiece with respect to a blade of a saw device includes a fence that is supported by rails for sliding movement relative to a work surface. Opposed ends of the fence are supported on the rails via rail engagement members. The fence assembly includes a fence angle adjustment mechanism associated with a housing of one of the rail engagement members. The fence angle adjustment mechanism includes biasing elements working in conjunction with an adjustment screw to adjust the position of the fence with respect to parallelism to the blade.

An improved cutting device with an integrated and interruptible auxiliary power supply is disclosed herein. In a preferred embodiment, the improved cutting device is a miter saw having a trigger mechanism for controlling a cutting implement, and at least one 120V or 240V auxiliary power outlet. Electrical power is only provided to the cutting implement and the auxiliary power outlet when the triggering or a similar mechanism is activated, and the release of the triggering mechanism by the user automatically shuts off electrical power to both the cutting implement and the at least one auxiliary power outlet. The auxiliary power outlet is useful for powering any number of different accessories including, without limitation, a light, vacuum source, etc., and is repositionable.

A miter saw includes a base, a table pivotally coupled to the base about a miter axis, a saw unit coupled to the table for movement with the table about the miter axis, and a fence having a stop protruding from a rear surface thereof that is engageable by the table and/or the saw unit to limit miter angle adjustment of the saw unit.
