Circular saw blade guide pads, circular saw guide assemblies including the guide pads, circular saws including the guide assemblies, methods of manufacturing the guide pads, and methods of utilizing the circular saws. The guide pads include a pad body that includes a pad material. The pad material includes a first plurality of small graphite particles, a second plurality of large graphite particles, and at least one additional component that includes a cured resin material. The guide assemblies include a guide arm and a guide pad operatively attached to the guide arm. The circular saws include at least one circular saw blade that defines a first blade side and an opposed second blade side, a first guide assembly positioned on the first blade side, and a second guide assembly positioned on the second blade side. The methods include methods of operating the circular saws and/or manufacturing the guide pads.

A table saw has a base assembly, a table assembly supported by the base assembly, and a saw assembly supported by at least one of the table assembly and the base assembly. The saw assembly includes a saw blade extending through the table assembly. The base assembly has at least one tube connected to the table assembly.

A table saw is provided with a table assembly including an upper cutting surface having a front edge and a rear edge; a slide assembly including, at each of the front edge and the rear edge, an inner slide member, an intermediate slide member slidably journalled in the inner slide member, and an outer slide member slidably journalled in the intermediate slide member wherein the intermediate slide member includes a pin moveably disposed in an elongated slot of the outer slide member; and a lock assembly under the upper cutting surface and including a lever, a cam at a distal end of the lever, and a spring biased two part rod wherein the cam is pivotably disposed between two parts of the rod. In response to a clockwise turning of the lever and the cam the biasing member expands to unlock the slide assembly.

Embodiments relate to systems, methods, and apparatuses for shape sawing wood. Specifically, embodiments include an infeed with laterally displaceable positioning rolls and a longitudinal axis between the positioning rolls. The embodiments further include a saw box with a frame and a plurality of saws coupled with a plurality of vertical arbors within the frame. In certain embodiments, the frame is operable to move laterally or rotationally with respect to a horizontal axis of rotation.

Embodiments of a system for shape sawing wood may include a feed unit and a saw box pivotably coupled to, and suspended from, one end of the feed unit. The saw box may be coupled to the side walls of the feed unit by pivot pins that define a rotational axis. A motor may be mounted to one side of the saw box to drive a saw arbor in rotation. The system may include an actuator that is selectively actuable to pivot the saw box about the rotational axis relative to the feed unit. Another actuator may be provided to move the saw box laterally along the pivot members. The feed unit may be slideably mounted on rails and selectively movable along the rails relative to a feed axis that extends through the saw box and the feed unit.

The dust proof circular saw has a main body with a rotating disc cutter blade and a cover fixed to the body to cover a blade outer radial periphery part. The body is supported by a base such that an angle of the body in the up-down and right-left directions can be adjusted at a base upper side. A further blade outer radial periphery is covered by an auxiliary cover. The auxiliary cover covers a gap between the fixed cover and the base. The auxiliary cover is moved by a mechanism relative to the body in accordance with an angle of the circular saw main body relative to the base in the up-down direction. The auxiliary cover is pivotally connected to the base, and is pivoted around a laterally tilting support shaft in the right-left direction by an interlock mechanism in accordance with a body angle in the right-left direction.
