A reciprocating cutting tool includes a shoe that is less likely to slip off when pulled frontward, for positioning the shoe, beyond a predetermined position such as a maximum pull position. The reciprocating cutting tool includes a motor, a slider being rod-like and including a tip tool holder, a reciprocation converter that converts rotation of the motor to reciprocation in a direction in which the slider extends and transmits the reciprocation to the slider, a shoe slidable in a front-rear direction to come in contact with a workpiece to which the tip tool is applied, a shoe lock unit engageable with the shoe to restrict the shoe from sliding and disengageable from the shoe to allow the shoe to slide, and a pin that interferes with the shoe slid to a predetermined position.

A reciprocating cutting tool allows a more stable operation. A reciprocating saw includes a motor extending vertically, a reciprocating transmitter located below the motor, a slider extending in a front-rear direction, connected to the reciprocation transmitter, and movable in the front-rear direction, a power housing holding the motor and the reciprocation transmitter, a grip housing extending rearward from the power housing, a battery housing located behind the grip housing, and a connecting housing located below the grip housing and connecting the power housing to the battery housing.

A jigsaw that includes a housing assembly, a shoe member and an indicator. The housing assembly has a housing, a motor and transmission assembly received in the housing, an output member reciprocatingly driven by the motor and transmission assembly, and a trigger coupled to the housing and configured to control operation of the motor and transmission assembly. The housing defines a window. The shoe member is pivotally coupled to the housing. The indicator is pivotally disposed in the housing. A portion of the indicator is visible through the window. Movement of the indicator is responsive to movement of the shoe member such that a rotational position of the indicator is indicative of a position of the shoe member relative to the housing assembly.

A jigsaw generally includes a housing containing a motor activated by a trigger assembly. A single control member is connected to the housing and configured to be accessible by a user. A reciprocating shaft moves at a reciprocation speed and at a magnitude of orbital motion when the trigger assembly is in a retracted condition. The single control member is operable to be positioned among a plurality of positions. Each of the positions corresponds to a predetermined combination of values of the reciprocation speed and the magnitude of the orbital motion.

A reciprocating saw includes a housing defining a motor housing portion, and a motor positioned in the motor housing portion, the motor having a motor output shaft defining a rotational axis, and a motor activation switch within the motor housing portion and adjacent the motor. The reciprocating saw also includes a transmission is positioned downstream of the motor and has a sawbar connectable to a saw blade. The transmission converts a rotational input provided by the motor shaft to a reciprocating output of the sawbar along a reciprocating axis that is either coaxial or parallel with the rotational axis.

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 band saw kit including a band saw and an angle guide. The band saw includes at least one wheel for supporting a saw blade, a motor operable to drive the blade to cut a workpiece, a frame, and a workpiece bumper coupled to the frame. The workpiece bumper includes a slot configured to receive the blade, a first engaging surface defining a first plane, and is configured to be generally perpendicular to the blade as the blade passes through the slot. An angle guide is configured to be coupled to the workpiece bumper and includes a second engaging surface for engaging a workpiece. The second engaging surface defines a second plane. A cut angle is defined by an angle between the second plane and the first plane when the angle guide is coupled to the workpiece bumper.

A reciprocating saw includes a housing including a handle defining a handle axis extending centrally through the handle from a first end to a second end of the handle, a battery receptacle located adjacent the second end of the handle, a battery insertable into and removable from the battery receptacle along a battery axis, a motor powered by the battery and including a motor shaft rotatable about a motor axis, and a spindle configured to reciprocate along a spindle axis in response to rotation of the motor shaft. The spindle axis is parallel to the motor axis.

A device for setting the miter angle of a machine tool is disclosed. The device includes a clamping block having at least one slot, and a pivot lever on which the machine tool can be mounted and which is pivotable about a pivot point relative to the clamping block between a minimum and a maximum miter angle. The slot includes at least two stop elements offset relative to one another. A setting mechanism includes a lever element for the selection of a maximum miter angle, where the lever element includes a mating stop element is alignable in such a way corresponding to the rotational alignment of the lever element that the mating stop element is able to strike the respective stop element in accordance with the selected maximum miter angle and by which the pivoting movement of the pivot lever relative to the clamping block can be limited.

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.
