Circular saws with lock assemblies are disclosed herein. The circular saws include a motor including a motor shaft configured to rotate about a shaft rotational axis. The circular saws also include an arbor configured to operatively attach a circular saw blade to the circular saw. The circular saws further include a switch configured to selectively apply an electric current to the motor and a switch lever configured to be selectively actuated, by a user of the circular saw and via an actuation force, to actuate the switch and direct the switch to apply the electric current to the motor. The lock assemblies include a switch lock, which defines a switch-locked configuration, in which the switch lock resists actuation of the switch lever by the user, and a switch-unlocked configuration, in which the switch lever is free to be actuated by the user.

A levelling apparatus for use in gang saws comprises first and second wedge portions. The first wedge portion comprises upper and lower surfaces, wherein the lower surface is nonparallel to the upper surface. The first wedge portion further comprises a plurality of openings for accepting mounting fasteners. The openings are arranged in a spaced, circular pattern about a centre of the first wedge portion. The second wedge portion also comprises upper and lower surfaces, wherein the upper surface is nonparallel to the lower surface. The second wedge portion further also comprises a plurality of openings for accepting the mounting fasteners. The second wedge openings correspond to the first wedge openings. Rotation of the first wedge portion with respect to the second wedge portion varies an angle between the first wedge upper surface and the second wedge lower surface, thereby allowing for angular adjustment.

A support assembly for a core drill which utilizes an improved high strength spoked reinforcer. The reinforcer may be removably mounted a core drill tube by fasteners. A drive connection is removably mounted and centrally located on an outer disc of a pair of discs. The drive connection is adapted to connect with a drive shaft to cause rotation of the tube. The assembly can also include a split in the disc when the high strength spoked reinforcer is not welded thereto, thereby providing a means of water control. The high strength spoked reinforcer can be a separate piece that is bolted to the disc or can be integrally formed as one piece therewith.

The present disclosure relates to a saw, comprising a drive, a first blade configured to oscillate about an axis perpendicular to a plane defined by a surface of the first blade, a second blade configured to oscillate about an axis perpendicular to the plane in a direction opposite to that of the first blade, and wherein gearing is provided between the drive and the first and second blades to reduce the speed transmitted from the drive to the blades. A saw blade, a connection mechanism for connecting a blade to a saw and associated methods are also provided.

A support assembly for a core drill uses an improved reinforcement. The reinforcement can include an extension extending between a center of the tool and a perimeter of the tool the extension can be a non-planar structure having a channel along a portion of the structure. The reinforcement can include a slanted element that can be associated with the extension, that can be formed monolithic with the extension, or otherwise combined with an extension. Multiple slanted elements can be used to form an extension. A top plate can be included for strengthening the reinforcement.

A power tool includes a spindle, holding members each having a claw, a biasing member, and a locking member. The holding members are movable between a first position, in which the holding members fixedly hold a tool accessory against a tool mounting part of the spindle with the claws pressed against the tool accessory owing to a biasing force of the biasing member, and a second position, in which the holding members do not impede or block attachment or detachment of the tool accessory. The locking member is configured to move between a locking position, in which the locking member abut on the claws of the holding members to hold the holding members in the second position, and an unlocking position, in which the locking member does not impede or block the holding members from moving from the second position to the first position.
