Circular saws are disclosed herein. The circular saws include a cutting assembly, a base plate, a pivot assembly, and a pivot bias mechanism. The cutting assembly includes a motor and an arbor. The base plate defines an assembly-facing side and an assembly-opposed side. The pivot assembly operatively attaches the cutting assembly to the base plate. The cutting assembly and the base plate are configured to operatively rotate, relative to one another and about a pivot axis of the pivot assembly, to selectively vary a region of the circular saw blade that extends on the assembly-opposed side of the base plate. The pivot bias mechanism is configured to apply a linear force between the cutting assembly and the base plate in a linear bias direction that urges the cutting assembly and the base plate in opposed directions along the pivot axis.

Track saws with self-adjusting rib-guide assemblies and methods of operating self-adjusting rib-guide assemblies of track saws are disclosed herein. The track saws include a motor, an arbor, and a base plate. The base plate defines an arbor-facing side and an arbor-opposed side. The base plate includes a rib-receiving channel and a self-adjusting rib-guide assembly. The self-adjusting rib-guide assembly at least partially defines the rib-receiving channel and is configured to automatically accommodate a range of raised rib transverse widths. The methods include positioning a raised elongate rib of the track within a rib-receiving channel of a base plate of the track saw. During the positioning, the methods also include establishing a contact force between the raised elongate rib and the self-adjusting rib-guide assembly. Responsive to the contact force, the methods further include moving at least a portion of the self-adjusting rib-guide assembly relative to a remainder of the track saw.

A scoring tool for a machine saw, wherein the scoring tool is designed to be rotatably driven around an axis of rotation and has a disk-shaped blade body having flat sides facing away from one another, which has, in its center penetrated by the axis of rotation, a machine adapter for releasable fastening on a scorer toolholder of the machine saw and has, on its radial outer circumference with respect to the axis of rotation, a scoring tooth arrangement for introducing a score into a first workpiece surface of a workpiece and the machine saw can introduce, by means of a saw tool, a saw cut aligned with the score from a second workpiece surface of the workpiece opposite to the first workpiece surface having a saw cut width of the saw cut less than a score width of the score into the workpiece, so that the workpiece does not tear out at the score side flanks.
