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 transportable machining unit for machining a workpiece with a tool including a box-shaped support structure placed on a support and having a workpiece support plate used to support the workpiece and a drive unit for mechanically driving the tool, arranged at least partially in the support structure and fastened thereto ready for operation so that the drive unit remains at least partially in the support structure during machining of the workpiece by the tool driven by the drive unit. The support structure has supporting arms which define a footprint of the support structure and which can be positioned selectively in a transport or working position. The footprint of the support structure is larger in the working position in at least one horizontal direction than in the transport position.

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.

A cutting machine having a liquid lubrication delivery system. The machine includes a work-piece platform having an upper surface for supporting a work-piece thereupon. The work-piece platform can further include a main channel defining a recess in the upper surface. At least one liquid lubrication inlet for discharging liquid into the main channel can also be present on the work-piece platform. The at least one liquid lubrication inlet can be a plurality of liquid lubrication inlets.

A miter saw includes a base, a table pivotally coupled to the base about a miter axis, and a saw unit coupled to the table for movement about the miter axis. A workpiece support is pivotable relative to the base between a first position, in which the table is permitted to pivot about the miter axis within a first range of miter angles, and a second position, in which the table is permitted to pivot about the miter axis within a second range of miter angles different than the first range. The miter saw further includes a locking mechanism for maintaining the workpiece support in at least one of the first position or the second position, wherein the locking mechanism includes an actuator supported by and moveable with the workpiece support between the first position and the second position.

A saw slide device allows a user to easily and accurately move a saw for proper alignment with a cutting material or workpiece. The saw slide device generally includes a sliding plate configured to support an associated saw, an adjustment or alignment mechanism configured to move the sliding plate, and a base frame which supports the sliding plate and adjustment mechanism.

A device for adjusting tautness of a belt of a motor of a table saw is provided with an adjustment screw, and a pivot. In response to unfastening the adjustment screw, the motor counterclockwise rotates about the pivot to tighten the belt until predetermined tautness is obtained. The adjustment screw fastens to keep the belt at the predetermined tautness. Alternatively, the motor clockwise rotates about the pivot to loosen the belt.

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.

A scale assembly of a table saw includes front and rear outer slide members disposed at front and rear ends of a slide mechanism respectively; front and rear inner slide members disposed at front and rear ends of a table assembly respectively wherein the front inner slide member slides in the front outer slide member, and the rear inner slide member slides in the rear outer slide member; a block member secured to a front end of a rip fence assembly and including a channel and a spring biased member; and a lever in the channel and including an exposed trigger, a projection, and first and second recesses. In a locked position, the spring biased member has one end entered the first recess and the projection enters a lengthwise cavity on an outer surface of the front outer slide member.

A table saw includes a base assembly; a table assembly mounted on the base assembly and comprising a table and a circular saw blade; a rip fence assembly moveably disposed on one end of the table assembly; and a slide mechanism mounted on the table assembly and including front and rear tracks affixed to front end rear ends of the table respectively; front and rear slides each having one end secured to either end of the rip fence assembly and the other end being open wherein the front and rear slides are moveably mounted on the front and rear tracks respectively; and first, second, third, fourth, and fifth rollers disposed in each of the front and rear tracks. The first, second, fourth, and fifth rollers are at an elevation higher than that of the third roller.
