An operation knob is attached to one end of a transmission rod. The transmission rod is located in a slide bar supporting a cutting device main body so as to be slidable in a front-to-rear direction. A pulley of a belt transmission mechanism is joined to the other end of the transmission rod, and a click mechanism is arranged around a portion of the pulley. The click mechanism provides a tactile sensation (e.g. click feeling or feeling of moderation) and improves operability of the operation knob.

A floor leveling apparatus and method for cutting parallel grooves in a hardened body which is configured to assist in utilizing a grinder to finish surfaces in a planar manner.

A sawmill includes a four-stroke internal combustion engine having an output shaft for driving a sawblade. The output shaft has a longitudinal axis. The engine is mounted on the sawmill for rotation between a first operative position with the longitudinal axis of the output shaft extending at a first angle, and a second operative position with the longitudinal axis of the output shaft extending at a second angle transversely to the first angle. The engine has fuel injection to facilitate operation in the first and second operative positions and a lubrication system incorporating a wet sump. An oil pick up for the lubrication system is configured to pick up oil from the wet sump at both the first and second operative positions.

A power miter saw includes an activation assembly including a lever, a spring loaded drive rod passing through an underside of the table, a curved link pivotably secured to the drive rod, a pivotal member pivotably secured to the curved link and secured to the lever, a driven rod, a clamping member in an edge of a positioning seat, and an axle through the positioning seat and having an end pivotably disposed in a support seat; a graduated member including apertures; and a locking device including a hollow member having two side slots, a spring loaded cam member, and a transverse bar passing through the positioning seat, the slots, and the cam member; a spring loaded pin secured to a forward end of the hollow member; and two lever members secured to two ends of the transverse bar respectively. A pivotal movement of the lever unfastens a positioning seat.

To provide a cutting machine that suppresses swinging of the cutting portion when the battery pack is attached or detached, the cutting machine includes a cutting portion, a base, and a swing support mechanism. The cutting portion includes: a motor, a motor housing accommodating the motor, an output shaft configured to be rotated upon rotation of the motor, a battery pack serving as a power source of the motor, and a battery pack attaching portion including a pair of rail portions with which the battery pack is engageable, where a cutting blade is configured to be detachably attached to the output shaft. The base has a contact surface on which a workpiece is configured to be placed. The swing support mechanism is connected to the base and the cutting portion and includes a swing shaft extending in parallel to the output shaft. The swing support mechanism supporting the cutting portion such that the cutting portion is swingable about the swing shaft between a top dead center and a bottom dead center in a direction parallel to a side surface of the cutting blade. The pair of rail portions extend in a direction crossing the side surface of the cutting blade.

A saw table system includes a stand that is positioned on a support surface. A table is coupled to the stand and the table is configured to be spaced from the support surface when the stand is positioned in the unfolded position. A miter saw is positioned on the table for cutting a member and the miter saw has a cutting length of at least 24.0 inches. A pair of extension units is provided and each of the extension units is movably coupled to the table. Each of the extension units has a width of at least 24.0 inches. Each of the extension units is selectively positioned in a deployed position having each of the extension units being laterally spaced from the table. In this way the pair of extension units may support a member that is too long for the table to support.

A power miter saw includes two linear guide mechanisms each including a first link including a bifurcated first end including two opposite first through holes; and a bifurcated second end including two opposite second through holes; a spring-loaded second link including a bifurcated first end having two opposite first through hole having a bearing recess, and a bifurcated second end including two opposite second through holes; two washers at outer ends of the first through holes of the second link respectively; a cylindrical lining in the first through holes of the second link; two bearings each at the bearing recess; and a pivot driven through the first through holes of the first link, the washers, the bearings, the cylindrical lining, and the first through holes of the second link to receive a portion of a complimentary pivot to pivotably secure the first and second links together.
