A reciprocating tool easily supplies a lubricant, such as grease (lubricating oil), to a mechanism for reciprocating a slider, and prevents a lack of lubricant. A reciprocating saw as a reciprocating tool includes a motor, a reciprocating conversion mechanism that converts rotation of the motor to reciprocation, a slider connected to the reciprocating conversion mechanism and being reciprocable, and a slider guide that supports the slider in a reciprocable manner and includes a lubricant-passage member in contact with the slider to allow passage of at least part of a lubricant through the lubricant-passage member, and a lubricant reservoir located adjacent to the lubricant-passage member to store the lubricant.

A saw system capable of cutting through a workpiece in one stroke is provided. The saw system includes a base, a turntable mounted on the base for rotation about a vertical axis, a support structure defining a cutting axis and fixedly attached to the turntable, and an elongated blade including a cutting edge. The turntable has a substantially planar support surface for supporting a workpiece. The support structure includes a pair of parallel sliding members having proximal and distal ends. The saw system further includes a handle assembly coupled with a bearing member, which is mechanically engaged with the sliding members, and an elongated blade fixedly attached to the bearing member. The elongated blade includes a serrated cutting edge that is acutely angled relative to the support surface.

A reciprocating power tool may include a driving system driving a reciprocating mechanism. A selection mechanism provides for selection of a linear mode of operation or at least one orbital mode of operation. Motion of a reciprocating shaft of the reciprocating mechanism may be guided by a guide bracket fixed in the housing and an orbit bushing movably coupled in the housing. The guide bracket may include at least one guide slot having a contoured guide surface that guides the motion of the corresponding end portion of the reciprocating shaft. The contoured guide surface may guide the corresponding end portion of the reciprocating shaft in a corresponding direction relative to the longitudinal centerline of the at least one guide slot during an out stroke and a return stroke of the reciprocating stroke.

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.

A blade extension for a reciprocating saw comprises a movable member and a stationary member. The movable member has a proximal end, a distal end and a body extending between the proximal end and the distal end. The proximal end comprises a blade end shaped to be received in a blade holder of the reciprocating saw. The distal end is configured to be coupled to a reciprocating saw blade. The stationary member extends along at least a portion of the movable member and supports the movable member for movement relative to the stationary member. The stationary member has a proximal end configured to be coupled to the reciprocating saw and an opposite distal end. The distal end of the movable member is arranged to protrude distally beyond the distal end of the stationary member.

The turntable has a substantially planar support surface for supporting a workpiece. The support structure includes a pair of parallel sliding members, wherein the sliding members are disposed in a direction substantially parallel to the cutting axis. The elongated blade is spaced apart from the sliding members and is movable along the sliding members. The cutting edge includes a proximal end and a distal end, wherein an angle between an imaginary line connecting the distal end of the cutting edge to the proximal end thereof and its projection onto the turntable is an acute angle.

An accessory includes a blade, a coupling, and a guide. The blade includes a cutting edge. The coupling includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is attachable to and detachable from the power tool. The second portion is connected to the blade. The guide is structured to guide the blade along a work piece by interacting with a surface of the work piece as the blade moves in an advancing direction. The guide is structured to provide a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the guide is engaged with the coupling such that the guide is attached to the coupling. In the unlocked state, the guide is disengaged from the coupling such that the guide is detached from the coupling.
