A cutting device main body with a saw blade in a tabletop cutting device, supported so as to be swingable in an up-to-down direction with respect to a table on which material to be cut is placed, aims to improve operability for attaching and detaching the battery. A sliding direction for attaching and detaching the battery is set to be a tilting direction angled with respect to an up-to-down moving direction of the cutting device main body in a surface direction of a cutting blade. Because of this configuration, all of an operation force for attaching and detaching the battery is not applied to the up-to-down moving direction of the cutting device main body. As a result, the cutting main body is not moved in an easy manner and operability for attaching and detaching the battery is improved.

A rail system for a power tool has a base defining a work surface for supporting a workpiece, a support mounted to the base, a number of elongated rails slidably supported by the support for movement relative thereto, a yoke engaged to the number of elongated rails for movement with the elongated rails, and a power tool assembly supported by a yoke for performing an operation on the workpiece. A rail stop is movably mounted to one of the support and the yoke, the rail stop including a stop surface adapted to abut the other of the support and the yoke when the rail stop is in a first position between the yoke and the support. The rail stop is movable to a second position different from the first position.

A miter saw includes a base assembly, a bevel arm pivotably coupled to the base assembly, and a saw unit pivotably coupled to the bevel arm about a horizontal chop axis. The saw unit includes a saw blade rotatable about a blade axis and a motor having an output shaft inclined at an oblique included angle relative to the blade axis. The miter saw also includes a guide rail coupling the saw unit to the base assembly and a battery selectively electrically connectable with the motor to provide power to the motor. The bevel arm and saw unit are pivotable relative to the base assembly, from an orientation in which the saw blade is substantially vertical, in both a first direction about the bevel axis by a bevel angle of at least about 45 degrees and an opposite, second direction by a bevel angle of at least about 45 degrees.

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 power tool has a housing, a motor disposed within the housing, a power supply circuit for providing power to the motor, a controller circuit for controlling the power provided to the motor, and an electric static discharge (ESD) protection circuit connected to the power supply circuit and the housing. The ESD protection circuit includes a first resistor connected to the power supply circuit and the housing. The first resistor may be a high impedance resistor. The ESD protection circuit may also have a first capacitor connected in parallel to the first resistor, a second resistor connected in series to the first resistor, and a second capacitor connected in series to the first capacitor and in parallel to the second resistor.

Bevel saws and methods of adjusting a fence of a bevel saw are disclosed herein. The bevel saws include a workpiece support that defines a workpiece support surface. The bevel saws also include a user-actuated assembly and an assembly attachment structure that operatively attaches the user-actuated assembly to the workpiece support. The assembly attachment structure includes a blade bevel angle adjustment mechanism configured to adjust a blade bevel angle of the bevel saw blade. The bevel saws also include a fence that defines a fence surface that extends away from the workpiece support surface. The fence includes a first fence region and a second fence region. The first fence region and the second fence region define a blade-receiving gap therebetween, and the fence further includes a gap adjustment mechanism configured to automatically adjust the blade-receiving gap based, at least in part, on the blade bevel angle.

The compound miter saw table includes a workshop table, a left side wing, and a right side wing. The workshop table is configured to support a saw. As non-limiting examples, the saw is a chop saw or a compound miter saw. The left side wing and the right side wing include articulated extensions that are deployed individually or together in order to support work material while the work material is being cut. The top surface of the workshop table is recessed below the top surfaces of the left side wing and the right side wing such that the work material rests evenly, supported by the saw, the left side wing, the right side wing, or any combination thereof.

A fine adjuster for finely adjusting the lateral tilt position of a cutting machine body has improved operability. A cutting machine includes a table, a cutting machine body, a tilting member supporting the cutting machine body in a manner laterally tiltable relative to the table, a tilting locking member, and a lever member to adjust the tilt position of the cutting machine body. The lever member includes a fulcrum coupled to the table in a manner rotatable about an axis, a load point coupled to the tilting member, and an effort point extending from the fulcrum and located at a distance from the fulcrum greater than a distance between the fulcrum and the load point.

A miter saw includes a fence assembly having a first fence fixedly coupled to a base of the miter saw. The fence assembly includes a moveable fence having a lower portion slidably received within a channel at least partially defined by the first fence. The fence assembly includes a locking member coupled to the first fence. The locking member extends into a groove defined by the lower portion of the moveable fence. The locking member is configured to engage the lower portion of the moveable fence to selectively lock the moveable fence between a retracted position and an extended position relative to the first fence. The fence assembly includes a retaining member coupled to the first fence and extending into the groove of the moveable fence. The locking member and the retaining member collectively restrict the moveable fence from moving in a direction away from the horizontal workpiece support surfaces.

A miter saw includes a base having a peripheral wall, a table rotatably supported upon the base, and a miter angle lock. The miter angle lock includes a pin having a first end adjacent the peripheral wall and an opposite second end. The miter angle lock also includes a cam member engageable with the second end of the pin and movable between a locked position in which the first end of the pin is brought into frictional contact with the peripheral wall for locking the table relative to the base, and an unlocked position in which the first end of the pin is spaced from the peripheral wall of the base.
