A power tool apparatus includes at least a power tool, a table, a bevel adjustment assembly, and a bevel stop. The table includes a work surface and a panel portion. The panel portion has an exterior surface. The bevel adjustment assembly is configured to move to various positions along a pathway of the panel portion. The tool is configured to move to various bevel angles as the bevel adjustment assembly moves to the various positions. The bevel stop is disposed on the exterior surface. The bevel stop includes a stopper that is configured to move to a blocking position in which the stopper obstructs a first section of the pathway to stop the bevel adjustment assembly from moving beyond a first position of the pathway along a first direction such that the saw blade is bounded at a first bevel angle corresponding to the first position. The stopper is configured to move to an unblocking position in which the stopper does not obstruct the first section of the pathway such that the bevel adjustment assembly is permitted to move to a second position that is further along the pathway in the first direction than the first position such that the saw blade is not bounded at the first bevel angle and permitted to move to a second bevel angle corresponding to the second position.

A power miter saw includes a turntable being rotatable on a base; a bevel post secured to a support assembly and pivotably connected to the base, the bevel post including a stepped-diameter channel, a structural member, and a complementary member; a curved graduated board disposed on the turntable and including spaced apertures; a shaft including an enlargement proximate a head, and a threaded end, the shaft inserted through the channel with the head disposed in the aperture; a biasing member put on the shaft and anchored in the channel; and an activation handle including a rod configured to pivotably move between a first position of the structural member and a second position of the structural member, a pivot hole with the threaded end passing through, and a projection engaged with the complementary member in a locked position; and an adjustable nut secured to the threaded end.

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.

A power tool for forming a channel in a work surface includes a first section carrying a rotatable shaft having a shaft axis and a second section that engages the work surface; a cutting disc having a substantially circular blade provided on the rotatable shaft; a first support portion on one side of the cutting disc and a second support portion on the opposite side of the cutting disc which cooperate to hold the cutting disc at an oblique angle relative to the shaft axis. A first locking feature of the first support portion and a second locking feature of the second support portion extend through a circular opening of the cutting disc and cooperate to resist relative rotation of the first and second support portions. The first section is movable relative to the second section to move the cutting disc into and out of engagement with the work surface.

Twisting of a locking member due to cogging torque is reduced without lowering the locking and unlocking operability for a user. A power tool includes a housing, an electric motor located inside the housing and including a permanent magnet, a shaft rotatable about an axis relative to the housing to transmit power from the electric motor, a locking member movable between a lock position and an unlock position in a nonenergized state of the electric motor and engageable with the shaft at the lock position to lock rotation of the shaft, and an abutting member that applies, to the locking member at the lock position, a force in a direction opposite to an axial torque caused by the permanent magnet and applied to the locking member.
