A miter saw includes a base, a table pivotally coupled to the base about a miter axis, a saw unit coupled to the table for movement with the table about the miter axis, and a fence having a stop protruding from a rear surface thereof that is engageable by the table and/or the saw unit to limit miter angle adjustment of the saw unit.

A chop saw power tool for cutting metal is described. The chop saw power tool has a saw base and a cutting head assembly. The saw base has: a support structure and a workpiece support table having a workpiece support surface to receive a workpiece. The workpiece support table is rotatable in a plane of the workpiece support surface relative to the support structure to select an angle of cut of the workpiece. The cutting head assembly has: a circular cutting blade on the cutting head assembly and an axis of rotation such that the circular cutting blade rotates within a cutting plane arranged in a fixed orientation perpendicular to the plane of the workpiece support surface. The cutting head assembly is pivotable relative to the saw base in a direction parallel to the cutting plane. The cutting head assembly is linearly moveable relative to the workpiece support table.

A miter saw has a base assembly and a rotatable table disposed on the base assembly. The rotatable table is rotatable about a substantially vertical miter axis and has a substantially horizontal workpiece-supporting plane. A saw assembly is connected to the table and includes a blade. The blade is movable downwardly from a first position where the blade is above the workpiece-supporting plane to a second position where a portion of the blade is below the workpiece-supporting plane. The base assembly has a top surface and a first handle disposed on the top surface, with a first hole on the top surface extending through the base assembly, the first hole being configured to allow a user to extend the user's hand therethrough and grip the first handle.

An easily operable, highly durable cutting machine finely adjusts the miter angle of a turntable. A cutting machine includes a turntable supported in a manner rotatable horizontally to a base and including a substantially disk-shaped table body to receive a workpiece and a table extension protruding forward from the table body, a cutting machine body located above the turntable and connected in a manner swingable vertically to the turntable, and a fine angle adjuster that adjusts a rotation angle of the turntable with respect to the base and including a rack on the base, a pinion located in the table body within an area of the table body as viewed from above and engageable with the rack directly or indirectly, and an operation part operable to rotate the pinion.

A miter saw has a base assembly and a rotatable table disposed on the base assembly. The rotatable table is rotatable about a substantially vertical miter axis and has a substantially horizontal workpiece-supporting plane. A saw assembly is connected to the table and includes a blade. The blade is movable downwardly from a first position where the blade is above the workpiece-supporting plane to a second position where a portion of the blade is below the workpiece-supporting plane. The base assembly has a top surface and a first handle disposed on the top surface, with a first hole on the top surface extending through the base assembly, the first hole being configured to allow a user to extend the user's hand therethrough and grip the first handle.

A device for setting the miter angle of a machine tool is disclosed. The device includes a clamping block having at least one slot, and a pivot lever on which the machine tool can be mounted and which is pivotable about a pivot point relative to the clamping block between a minimum and a maximum miter angle. The slot includes at least two stop elements offset relative to one another. A setting mechanism includes a lever element for the selection of a maximum miter angle, where the lever element includes a mating stop element is alignable in such a way corresponding to the rotational alignment of the lever element that the mating stop element is able to strike the respective stop element in accordance with the selected maximum miter angle and by which the pivoting movement of the pivot lever relative to the clamping block can be limited.

Various aspects of a saw apparatus include a worktable, a cutting head that includes a circular saw blade, and a vacuum source. In a first aspect, the cutting head moves along a rail, and the vacuum source provides a negative pressure region beneath a trolley that moves along the worktable such that a center slot remains axially aligned with the circular saw blade. In a second aspect, the cutting head moves along a rail, and a dust guard is coupled to the circular saw blade. The vacuum source provides a negative pressure region above the worktable. In another aspect, the cutting head moves along a rail, and the vacuum source provides a negative pressure region beneath a trolley that is coupled with the cutting head via a pulley system that maintains an alignment between the cutting head and the trolley as the cutting head moves along the rail.

A miter saw has a base assembly and a rotatable table disposed on the base assembly. The rotatable table is rotatable about a substantially vertical miter axis and has a substantially horizontal workpiece-supporting plane. A saw assembly is connected to the table and includes a blade. The blade is movable downwardly from a first position where the blade is above the workpiece-supporting plane to a second position where a portion of the blade is below the workpiece-supporting plane. The base assembly has a top surface and a first handle disposed on the top surface, with a first hole on the top surface extending through the base assembly, the first hole being configured to allow a user to extend the user's hand therethrough and grip the first handle.

A sawing device containing a base part for supporting the sawing device on a base surface and a slide is provided. The slide is mounted on the base part so as to be displaceable in a translational manner via a linear guide. The sawing device includes a saw head which is rotatably mounted on the slide. A drive unit for rotationally driving a saw blade in a saw blade plane (S) is arranged on the saw head. In addition, at least one interface for selectively coupling an electrical energy storage device is arranged on the slide. The interface is electrically connected to the drive unit. Moreover, a saw assembly containing such a sawing device and at least one electrical energy storage device is presented. The electrical energy storage device is coupled to the sawing device via at least one interface.

A saw with a pivotal guard which can pivot from a first position surrounds at least a portion of the lower edge of the saw blade to a second retracted position where the portion of the lower edge of the saw blade is exposed. A biasing mechanism may be provided for biasing the pivotal guard towards the first position. A pivotal guard actuating mechanism is capable of moving the pivotal guard from the first position to the second retracted position. The pivotal guard actuation mechanism includes a hand lever, a cam mechanism comprising a cam and cam follower connected between the hand lever and the pivotal guard wherein the cam is connected to the pivotal guard and the cam follower is connected to the hand lever.
