A table tool includes a table, a saw blade, a motor, a controller, a sensing device and a first switch. The table has a work plane on which a workpiece is placed. The saw blade acts on the workpiece. The motor drives the saw blade to rotate. The controller is used for controlling rotation of the motor. The sensing device is electrically connected to the controller and used for sensing a state of the workpiece and outputting a first signal to the controller. The first switch is used for a user to select a working mode from at least two working modes of the table tool. When the table tool is in a first working mode, the controller is configured to adjust a rotational speed of the motor to be a first rotational speed based on an acquired first signal or a working parameter of the motor.

In some embodiments, a cutting system including a movable blade operably coupled to a motor is disclosed, wherein the cutting system comprises a diverting feature. In some embodiments, a diverter proximity relative to the movable blade is selected to facilitate diversion of a material during cutting. In at least one embodiment, the movable blade may be a circular blade or a reciprocating blade with a thickness of less than 3/32 of an inch. A cutting system according to the present invention may be coupled to a container, for example, a residential trash container or a residential recycling container.

A miter saw includes a base assembly and a saw unit pivotably coupled to the base assembly. The saw unit includes a saw blade and a lower blade guard covering a lower portion of the saw blade. The miter saw also includes a linkage for raising the lower blade guard to expose the lower portion of the saw blade as the saw unit is lowered toward the base assembly. The linkage is operable to apply a force to the lower blade guard for holding the lower blade guard in a raised position, without any input from the operator of the miter saw and without changing the length of the linkage, to facilitate changing the saw blade.

Various aspects of an apparatus are disclosed. In a particular aspect, an apparatus comprising a cylindrical filter, a filter cleaning knob, and a filter cleaning flap is disclosed. Within such embodiment, the filter cleaning knob is configured to rotate the cylindrical filter. The filter cleaning flap is coupled to the cylindrical filter and configured to sequentially make contact with a plurality of pleated segments of the cylindrical filter as the filter cleaning knob is rotated.

A table saw has a base assembly, a table assembly supported by the base assembly, and a saw assembly supported by at least one of the table assembly and the base assembly. The saw assembly includes a saw blade extending through the table assembly. The base assembly has at least one tube connected to the table assembly.

A table saw assembly in one embodiment includes a base portion, a saw blade opening, a saw assembly and a first extension. The base portion includes a base work piece support surface which defines a support plane. The saw blade opening is defined in the base work piece support surface. The saw assembly includes a saw blade which is positionable to extend upwardly through the saw blade opening. The first extension includes a first extension work piece support surface which is pivotable with respect to the base portion between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the first extension work piece support surface is coplanar with the base work piece support surface. In the second position, the first extension work piece support surface is located above the support plane.

A table saw assembly includes a base portion with a base work piece support surface which defines a support plane and a saw blade opening. A saw blade is positionable to extend upwardly through the saw blade opening. A first extension includes a first extension work piece support surface which is pivotable with respect to the base portion between a first position coplanar with the base work piece support surface and a second position above the support plane. A second extension includes a second extension work piece support surface which is pivotable between a third position coplanar with the base work piece support surface and a fourth position above the support plane. The table saw assembly includes a handle located above the work piece support surface and accessible by a user when the first extension is in the second position and the second extension is in the fourth position.

A miter saw assembly is presented as a power tool, the miter saw assembly includes a base; a fixture supported on said base; a proximal pair of arms, hinged with four hinges to said fixture at a first hinge point; a gear box plate, hinged with four hinges to said proximal pair of arms at a second hinge point; a distal pair of arms, hinged with four hinges to said gear box at a first end, and a second end hinged with four hinges to said distal pair of arms; a gearing assembly hinged to said gear box plate, with a first gear attached to a first one of said proximal pair of arms and a second gear attached to a first one of said distal pair of arms, and a rotary saw, mounted to said second end of said distal pair of arms.

A table saw has a base assembly, a table assembly supported by the base assembly, the table assembly, and a saw assembly supported by at least one of the table assembly and the base assembly. The saw assembly has a saw blade extending through the table assembly. The base assembly has at least one foot having a substantially horizontal surface, a substantially vertical surface, and a curved surface disposed between the substantially horizontal surface and the substantially vertical surface. The substantially vertical surface is substantially coplanar with a surface of the table assembly so that the table saw can be disposed on the substantially vertical surface and the surface of the table assembly.

A table saw is provided with a table assembly including an upper cutting surface having a front edge and a rear edge; a slide assembly including, at each of the front edge and the rear edge, an inner slide member, an intermediate slide member slidably journalled in the inner slide member, and an outer slide member slidably journalled in the intermediate slide member wherein the intermediate slide member includes a pin moveably disposed in an elongated slot of the outer slide member; and a lock assembly under the upper cutting surface and including a lever, a cam at a distal end of the lever, and a spring biased two part rod wherein the cam is pivotably disposed between two parts of the rod. In response to a clockwise turning of the lever and the cam the biasing member expands to unlock the slide assembly.
