An airflow management system for a table saw includes an elongated hollow member and a dust cap. The elongated hollow member includes a first prong and a second prong, the first and second prongs being configured to be positioned adjacent a saw blade on opposite sides of a saw blade plane in which the saw blade is positioned. The first and second prongs define an opening and a partially enclosed space, in which an airflow channel is defined, therebetween. The dust cap is attached to the elongated hollow member and includes a hose connection fluidly connected to the airflow channel of the elongated hollow member and configured to connect to a vacuum source to pull air from the airflow channel through the hose connection.

A bench saw, including a support structure with a lay-on section which provides a lay-on surface, as well as a saw blade which engages through an opening of the lay-on section, so that at least a part of the saw blade is located below the lay-on section lower side, a housing arrangement which is located below the lay-on section lower side and which surrounds the part of the saw blade which is located below the lay-on section lower side, where the saw blade is pivotable together with the housing arrangement relative to the lay-on section, in order to adjust an angle between a cutting plane of the saw blade and the lay-on surface. The bench saw further includes a cover flap which covers a gap between the housing arrangement and the lay-on section lower side, the gap arising on pivoting the housing arrangement.

Power saws and features for power saws are disclosed. Various features are particularly relevant to jobsite or benchtop table saws. Such features include a frame or support structure with panels and shaped or bent tubes, a trunnion formed from a shaped tube, a tilt mechanism, an elevation mechanism, a retraction mechanism, an arbor block retention mechanism, an insert, a fence, dust collection, shrouding, and a fence stop.

Blade tilt mechanisms for table saws are disclosed. The disclosed tilt mechanisms provide easy and intuitive operation. They also provide auto-locking so that a user simply releases a component to lock the blade at a specific angle. The tilt mechanisms also provide defined incremental steps for the tilt of the blade and the steps are typically spaced at 1-degree intervals.

A multiple blade table saw for use with a tool attachment assembly enables a user to perform different woodworking tasks simultaneously on plywood to enhance efficiency. The table saw assembly includes a housing to store a blade assembly having a plurality of blades operably connected to a motor, a tabletop coupled to a top of the housing and having a first slot and a second slot, the first slot able to permit portions of the plurality of blades to extend therethrough to be exposed above the tabletop, and a carriage slidably mounted to the housing and able to secure the tool attachment assembly. The tool attachment assembly includes a cutting member that is positioned within the second slot of the tabletop. The user maneuvers a plywood sheet on the tabletop to permit the blade assembly and cutting member to cut the plywood sheet.

A stop unit, in particular to an angle stop, for guiding and/or for the feed of a workpiece to a saw blade of a bench saw, including a stop arm which extends in a longitudinal direction for the contact of the workpiece. The stop arm includes a main section which is manufactured from a first material and which extends over more than half the longitudinal extension of the stop arm, and at least one second end section which is arranged on an end of the main section which is located in the longitudinal direction. The second section is able to come into contact with the saw blade given an advance of the workpiece towards the saw blade, where the at least one end section is manufactured from a second material.

They also provide auto-locking so that a user simply releases a component to lock the blade at a specific angle. The tilt mechanisms also provide defined incremental steps for the tilt of the blade and the steps are typically spaced at 1-degree intervals.

A lubrication system for a saw may include a lubricator that is mechanically linked to a traveling arm of a saw, such as an up-cut saw. Movement of the saw blade through a first path may result automatically in movement of the lubricator through a second path transverse to the first path. This coupled movement may result in a relatively consistent distance between the lubricator and the periphery of the saw blade, especially as compared with a stationary lubricator.

A table saw with an elevation mechanism to raise or lower a blade is disclosed. The elevation mechanism includes a handwheel operatively connected to one end of a rotatable shaft and a universal joint assembly connected to another end of the rotatable shaft. The universal joint assembly can include a driving yoke, a coupling yoke, and a driven yoke. The universal joint is mounted to a threaded shaft that turns to raise or lower the blade.
