A miter saw including a bevel lock assembly and bevel actuation lever assembly. The bevel lock assembly locks and unlocks a bevel post at a selected position in response to movement of an actuation handle located at a front of the miter saw easily accessible by a user. The bevel lock assembly locks the bevel post in place when the actuation handle is at a rest position. Rotation of the handle to a tensioned position unlocks the bevel lock assembly to enable repositioning of the bevel post to thereby adjust a cutting angle of a saw blade of the miter saw.

A foldable miter saw includes a base unit, a worktable, and a cutting unit adjustable between a working position where the saw blade of the cutting unit and the worktable define a contained angle within 9045 and a folded position where one end face of the saw blade is disposed in proximity to the working surface and one guiding member and one sliding coupling component of the worktable are disposed in proximity to a working surface of the worktable, significantly reducing the dimension of the foldable miter saw and facilitating storage and packaging.

A miter saw has a base having a detent notch, a table rotatably connectable to the base, a pivoting assembly connected to the table, and a saw assembly supported by the pivoting assembly. The saw assembly has a blade movable downwardly for a cutting operation. A locking mechanism is disposed on the table. The locking mechanism is movable between an unlocked position and a locked position for selectively unlocking and locking the table for rotational movement relative to the base about the miter axis. The locking mechanism has a lock lever rotatably connected to the table. The lock lever has a handle for moving locking mechanism between the locked and unlocked positions. The saw also has a miter detent assembly for selectively engaging and disengaging the detent notch.

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 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 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 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.

A miter saw has a base assembly, a table rotatably disposed on the base assembly, a support section rotatably connected to the table, a guide bar fixedly attached to and extending forwardly from the support section, and a saw assembly sliding along the guide bar. The saw assembly is pivotable downwardly for cutting a workpiece disposed on the table. A handle is disposed adjacent to a forward end of the guide bar. The handle is movable between a first position for fixing a rotational position of the support section relative to the table, and a second position for allowing rotational movement of the support section relative to the table.

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.

A cutting machine can include a cutting machine body that is movably supported above a table and capable of vertical movement, the cutting machine body can be positioned at an upward waiting position and a lower end position. The cutting machine body can include an auxiliary cover positioned around a portion of a blade and including a projection. When in the upward waiting position the auxiliary cover is not able to move upward because of the position of the projection, and in the lower end position the auxiliary cover is able to move upward.
