Zeroplay miter bar
A miter bar assembly (100), including: a top member (102) having: a top member opening (110) configured to permit a bottom member fastener (122) to pass through the top member; and a top member fastener feature (140) configured to immovably fix the top member directly to a panel; and a bottom member (104) positioned under the top member and having: a bottom member fastener feature (120) configured cooperate with the bottom member fastener and the top member opening to enable the bottom member to move laterally relative to the top member and to selectively immovably fix the bottom member to the top member. At least one of: a magnetic force urges the bottom member and the top member laterally apart; and relative longitudinal movement between the bottom member and the top member adjusts a lateral position of the bottom member relative to the top member.
ANGLE STOP
A system and method for operating an angle stop having a first body, a second body, and a connector arrangement with a work component. The method includes placing the work component on a workpiece surface of a workpiece, contacting the first body having a first workpiece contact surface with a workpiece side surface of the workpiece, contacting the second body having a work component contact surface with the work component, fixing the work component to the second body, and fixing an angle between the first body and the second body.
Workpiece Tools and Techniques
Workpiece tools and techniques are described. In one example, a workpiece tool includes different side panels that provide surfaces for workpiece alignment. Further, a workpiece tool includes apertures that can align with a work surface such as a welding table. An adjustable tool is also described that includes a tool body and a slidable member that is slidable relative to the tool body. The slidable member, for instance, represents a measurement tool that can be used to measure object dimensions. Further, the tool body includes different side panels that are arranged to enable a variety of different usage scenarios such as include different positions of the slidable member relative to an adjacent object and/or surface.
Table saw
A table saw has a base assembly, a table assembly supported by the base assembly, the table assembly, and a saw assembly supported by at least one of the table assembly and the base assembly. The saw assembly has a saw blade extending through the table assembly. The base assembly has at least one foot having a substantially horizontal surface, a substantially vertical surface, and a curved surface disposed between the substantially horizontal surface and the substantially vertical surface. The substantially vertical surface is substantially coplanar with a surface of the table assembly so that the table saw can be disposed on the substantially vertical surface and the surface of the table assembly.
WOODWORKING DEVICE ACCESSORIES
Exemplary accessories for use with woodworking supports of woodworking devices may include a fence for a drill press. The fence may include a plurality of magnetic couplers, a base, and a stop block. An exemplary stop block may include a bearing.
Fastening device
A fastening device is equipped with a stocker. The stocker has a circular arcuate shape which is curved in a horizontal plane, and accommodates fastening tools in a state of being aligned in a row. The fastening tool that is positioned at a most downstream side of the stocker is supplied to the receiving site by an unloading and supplying device. Furthermore, the fastening tool supplied to the receiving site is screw-rotated by a screw-rotating device that is displaced toward the fastening tool.
LOCKING ACCESSORY FOR WOODWORKING SUPPORT
Exemplary accessories for use with woodworking supports of woodworking devices may include a first number of locks actuatable by a second number of actuators, the second number being less than the first number. An exemplary actuator is a cam type actuator.
PRECISION GUN SMITH PLATFORM
A gun smith platform includes a top plate. The top plate has a tool hole centrally disposed on the top plate that extends through the top plate through which a work piece attached to a work tool mounted to a bottom side of the top plate may extend, a plurality of alignment holes extending in a linear pattern from the tool hole, the alignment holes configured to receive alignment pins, at least one row of threaded mounting holes disposed parallel to the linear pattern of alignment holes, and a recessed track disposed parallel to the at least one row of threaded mounting holes. Four legs are attached to and supporting the top plate.
GUIDE APPARATUS AND GUIDE STRUCTURE
A guide apparatus includes a track member, a movable member having a first rolling surface that forms a load rolling passage together with a rolling surface of the track member, and a damper provided on a first surface. The first surface is at least a portion of the surface of the movable member opposed to the track member excluding the first rolling surface. The damper includes a plate member disposed in such a way as to cover the first area and a reservoir space formed between one surface of the plate member and the first area. The reservoir space contains a damping medium and allows the plate member to displace relative to the first area. The damper is provided on the movable member in such a way that the other surface of the plate member slides on at least a portion of the surface of the track member opposed to the movable member.
MEASURING APPARATUS AND SUPPORT MECHANISM OF COLUMNAR WORK PIECE
Measuring apparatus includes an upper support supporting a first end of a columnar work piece in an axis direction, a lower support supporting a second end of the work piece in the axis direction, a probe measuring the work piece supported by the upper support and lower support, a rotary table coupled to the lower support and capable of rotating centered in the axis direction, and a post provided to the rotary table and mounting a first position determiner and a second position determiner so as to be switchable, the first and second position determiner determining a position of the work piece with respect to the rotary table. When a first columnar work piece as the work piece is supported by the upper support and lower support, the first position determiner is mounted to the post to determine a position by contacting the first work piece.
