Hockey sticks or other tubular shafts have historically been cut using a hack saw with the shaft resting on the lip of a garbage can resulting in slow and inaccurate cuts. A new device for cutting a shaft comprises a holder for receiving the shaft, and an arm rotatably mounted at an end of the holder. The holder includes an internal passage, sized to receive the shaft, which extends outwardly through an opening at the end of the internal passage. A set of jaws are mounted on the rotating arm, each jaw includes a saw blade extending across the opening perpendicular to the shaft. The jaws are spring biased together at a first end for engaging the shaft, whereby relative rotation of the arm and the holder results in the saw blades sawing the end of the shaft off with high precision. Each jaw may include a lever arm extending from a second end thereof configured to receive an application of a user force to overcome the spring bias force to enable the set of jaws to be separated for mounting the shaft therebetween.

A system for making curved cuts of a work piece, the system including a template including a profiled groove spanning from a first end to a second end, the groove dividing the template into distal and proximal halves, at least one profile of a curved cut is part of the groove; a saw including a saw blade; a turntable including a platform and a base upon which the platform is rotatably supported; and a mobility mechanism to which the platform is attached, the mobility mechanism is configured to allow the turntable to traverse between the two ends and a direction transverse to a direction defined by the two ends, wherein the work piece is disposed under the groove of the template and the saw blade is configured to be guided through the groove to cut the work piece according to the at least one profile of a curved cut.

Post notch forming tool mounted on a handheld saw blade for forming a notch in a post end. The tool has a base, a handle, and two L-shaped members with bolt assemblies for attaching the tool to the saw blade. The base has a first extended lip which slides downwardly along the post's outer surface to guide the tool to form a 3-inch notch. A spacer member is selectively attached to the L-shaped members and has a second extended lip which slides downwardly along the post's outer surface to guide the tool to form a 1½ inch notch. Method steps include using the power saw blade to form a transverse cut intersecting the longitudinal axis, using the extended lip of the base to form a 3-inch notch, or attaching the spacer member and using its extended lip to form a 1½ inch notch in the post's outer surface.

The present utility model provides a reciprocating saw clamping device, the clamping device being mounted on a machine body of the reciprocating saw, close to a cutting saw blade located at a front end of the machine body of the reciprocating saw, and being configured to clamp an object to be cut when the reciprocating saw is performing a cutting operation, wherein the clamping device comprises a clamp and a clamp support, the clamp and clamp support being rotatably hinge-connected, and the clamping device is removably mounted on the machine body of the reciprocating saw by means of positioning structures which fit each other and are arranged on the clamp support and a housing of the reciprocating saw. The present utility model also provides a reciprocating saw having the clamping device. The reciprocating saw clamping device of the present utility model is not only structurally simple and convenient to operate, but can also satisfy cutting requirements of different sizes, with a larger range of operations.

A cutting system is used for cutting a hollow cylindrical support beam which forms part of a support structure of a sea platform. The cutting system comprises a fixating device to fixate the cutting system in an operation position around an outer wall of the support beam, and a drilling device to drill a series of through holes in the outer wall and around the support beam. The drilling device is movable along a drill track and around the support beam by a drill driver.

The present disclosure is directed to a reciprocating saw assembly including a saw unit. The saw unit includes a reciprocating mechanism having a reciprocating spindle to which a saw blade is attachable, a drive unit for providing torque to the reciprocating mechanism, causing the spindle to reciprocate, and an outer housing in which the drive is received. The outer housing includes a handle portion graspable by a user during a cutting operation. The reciprocating saw assembly further includes a clamping unit having a clamp housing pivotably coupled to the outer housing and a jaw movable relative to the clamp housing between a clamping position, in which the clamping unit is affixed to a workpiece to be cut, and a release position, in which the clamping unit is removable from the workpiece.

A surgical saw blade configured for oscillatory resection of bone, the saw blade including a body defining a longitudinal axis (L). The body including a mounting portion and a distal portion, the distal portion and the mounting portion formed integrally with one another such that oscillation of the mounting portion results in oscillation of the distal portion. The distal portion having teeth formed on a blade head. The mounting portion defining a series of apertures including a first aperture shaped for receiving a biasing actuator, and a second aperture including a second proximal end and a second distal end. The mounting portion includes a peninsula portion extending away from the first aperture and configured for retaining the saw blade in a saw mount, the peninsula portion is partially surrounded by the second aperture, and the peninsula portion defines an area less than an area defined by the rear second aperture.
