A woodworking machine, such as a sliding table saw includes a workpiecee table with a substantially horizontal workpiece support surface and a sawing slot. A saw unit with a circular saw blade is arranged so as to be able to protrude from the sawing slot and defines a substantially horizontal saw line. A workpiece stop is movably arranged above the workpiece support surface with a vertically standing workpiece stop surface, such that a plate-shaped workpiece resting on the workpiece support surface in a support region arranged horizontally in front of the workpiece stop can be placed with a side edge against the workpiece stop surface. A, sensor device is configured to generate a sensor signal, wherein the sensor signal characterizes an end of cut.

A saw assembly for cutting a workpiece is disclosed. The saw assembly includes a platform for supporting the saw assembly on a surface. The saw assembly further includes a table assembly having a saw for cutting the workpiece and a table surface for supporting the workpiece during cutting. The table assembly is pivotably coupled to the platform and is adapted to pivot relative to the platform to position the table surface at an inclination relative to the surface.

Locking mechanisms are provided for locking the position of a miter gauge assembly to a sliding table of a table saw. The mechanisms are biased to a locking position and this bias can provide a sensible indication that the lock has been engaged. The locking mechanisms are configured to engage the guide bar of the miter gauge assembly at different locations along the length of the guide bar, particularly by engaging a series of spaced apart engagement notches. The locking mechanism thus allows the miter gauge assembly to be locked at several positions along the length of the sliding table, from a fully inboard position to a position in which the miter gauge assembly projects beyond the end of the sliding table. The locking mechanism is provided in different embodiments with manually actuated components that can be push/pull, pivoting, rotating or sliding.

A fence assembly of a table saw includes rear and front sliding members on two rails of a table respectively, the rear sliding member having three top projections, the front sliding member having three forward projections, a transverse member interconnecting the sliding members, and a spring biased workpiece guide bar on the transverse member. The workpiece guide bar includes a front locking element for locking the front sliding member, a rear locking element for locking the rear sliding member, the rear locking element having a recess for receipt of the top projection, and a spring biased lever pivotably secured to a front end of the workpiece guide bar. A latch of the lever can be engaged with a protuberance of the front locking element to lock the front locking element or disengaged from the protuberance to unlock same. The lever includes a wedge for locking the front sliding member.

Various safety systems for power tools, and in particular table saws include detection systems for detecting a dangerous condition relative to a blade of the power tool, reaction systems for taking mitigation action in response to detection of a dangerous condition. The safety system may detect, prevent, and/or mitigate a dangerous condition associated with the power tool.

A table saw including a table, a saw unit, a storage mount bracket, and a blade guard assembly. The saw unit includes a saw blade and a riving knife. The saw blade is extendable through a slot in the table. The riving knife is positioned behind the saw blade and has a first mating interface. The storage mount bracket has a second mating interface complimentary to the first mating interface. The blade guard assembly is attachable to the first mating interface of the riving knife to cover at least a portion of the saw blade. The blade guard assembly is additionally attachable with the second mating interface to attach the blade guard assembly to the storage mount bracket when the blade guard assembly is removed from the riving knife.

The invention relates to a machine-tool, especially a circular saw bench. The machine-tool has a clamping device that can be moved with the work piece in an advancing direction and which is guided at a certain height in relation to the workbench. The clamping device is used to support the work piece, in a carrying manner, in the region of the clamping device, in relation to the workbench.

A table saw includes a worktable, a left extension frame and a right extension frame respectively slidably mounted at left and right sides of the worktable, a scale unit including a first scale, a second scale and a third scale respectively mounted at the worktable, the left extension frame and the right extension frame, and an indicator unit including a first indicator, a second indicator and a third indicator respectively disposed to aim at the first, second and third scales. Thus, when operating the table saw to cut a workpiece, the user can selectively pull out the left or right extension frame and use the corresponding scale and indicator for quickly judging the correctness of the length to be cut.
