A tile saw including a saw unit having a motor and a saw blade, and a base supporting the saw unit above the base, where the base is fixed relative to the saw unit. A carriage is supported by the base. The carriage is translatable relative to the base and the saw unit, where the carriage is translatable along a first plane. The tile saw further includes a table for supporting a work piece to be cut by the saw blade. The table is translatable relative to the base and the saw unit, where the table is translatable along a second plane. The second plane is parallel to the first plane. The table is selectively translatable relative to the carriage.

Workbench (1) for supporting and moving articles comprising a frame (22), a support surface (24) able to tilt relative to the frame (22) and pass from an initial horizontal position into a final inclined position, at least one rigid element (30) hinged with the frame (22) at a pivoting point (P) and having an end portion (36) hinged with the surface (24) and at least one first actuator (44) configured to raise and rotate the surface (24) into an intermediate inclined position. The element (30) is shaped as a rocker arm with the pivoting point (P) arranged between a first wing (32) and a second wing (34) and movement means (54) are provided for rotation of the rocker arm (30) about an axis (X2) so as to move the surface (24) from the intermediate position into the final inclined position. The first actuator (44) comprises a fist end (46) hinged with the rocker arm (30) and a second end (48) hinged with the support surface (24).

A novel cutting method and apparatus includes a cutting blade adapted to consistently and easily form a desirable kerf in a concrete substrate while capturing substantially all resulting concrete dust.

Simulated bog-down system and method for power tools. One power tool according to an example embodiment includes a power source and a motor selectively coupled to the power source. The motor includes a rotor and stator windings. The power tool includes an actuator configured to generate a drive request signal and a power switching network configured to selectively couple the power source to the stator windings of the motor. The power tool includes an electronic processor coupled to the power source, the actuator, and the power switching network. The electronic processor is configured to detect a load on the power tool and compare the load to a threshold. The electronic processor is configured to determine that the load is greater than the threshold, and to control the power switching network to simulate bog-down in response to determining that the load is greater than the threshold.

A cutting device including a stand and a saw supported by the stand. The saw includes a motor and a blade rotatably driven by the motor. A pair of rails is supported by the stand. A tray is configured to support an object to be cut on an upper surface and including a roller assembly on a lower surface. The tray is slidable along the pair of rails towards and away from the blade. At least one of the rails is disposed over a basin configured to hold water.

A power tool reduces the cost of a switch suitable for a power tool including a brushless motor and improves the operability of the switch. A power tool includes a brushless motor, a switch body that enters an on-state in response to an on-operation, and enters an off-state in response to the on-operation being released, an on-operation portion operable to perform the on-operation of the switch body, and an on-state retainer automatically engageable with the on-operation portion in response to an operation on the on-operation portion to retain the on-operation portion at a position to which the on-operation portion is operated.

The present invention relates to a laying machine for laying at least one flexible casing or tube, cable or wire including: a blade arrangement for making a trench in the ground, a consolidation and laying means being arranged behind the blade arrangement, for clearing and safe-guarding the trench from collapsing while laying at least one flexible casing or tube, cable or wire into the trench. A blade assembly comprising compartments for cooling fluid and air.

An apparatus for working a sheet material has a supporting frame, a supporting head connected to the supporting frame, a plurality of tools supported on a working device, a waterjet cutter, first and second male fast-couplers, and first and second female fast-couplers disposed on the supporting head. The first male fast-coupler is disposed on the working device. The second male fast-coupler is disposed on the waterjet cutter. The first and second female couplers are configured to alternately couple the first and second male fast-couplers.
