Collapsible and transportable systems for supporting miter saw assemblies. In one illustrative embodiment, a table assembly has two opposite main nodes at either end that support an upper bench top therebetween. Two legs extend from each main node to support the table. Two parallel support members extends through the main nodes underneath the bench top. A saw support table may be removably securable to the parallel support members extending out past the bench and allows a miter saw secured thereto to be adjusted such that the miter saw cutting table is co-planar with the bench top. A sliding locking member may be attached to the bench top to define a fixed distance for the length of material being cut. A second saw support table may be disposed on folding adjustable legs attached to the legs extending from a main node to support a table saw coplanar with the bench top.

A carpenter's accordion is disclosed herein. The carpenter's accordion is a portable, compactable, and free-standing tool that may be advantageously used in combination with a table saw to increase the length of stock that one user can cut with a blade. Generally, the more sections that comprise the carpenter's accordion, the greater the lengths of stock one user will be able to cut using a table saw or other similar tool in combination with the accordion.

A unit for machining a workpiece, in particular for machining grooves and separating cuts therein, said workpiece preferably consisting at least partially of wood, wood-based materials, metal materials or plastic, has a main body (1), a machining tool (2) which is mounted, in particular rotatably mounted, on the main body (1), wherein the machining tool (2) has a first portion (3) which is configured such that, during machining of the workpiece (10), it is able to penetrate into the workpiece (10), and a guiding device (4) which is arranged in the region preferably next to the machining tool (2) and is configured such that a medium is able to flow along, preferably through, the guiding device (4), wherein the guiding device (4) has at least one opening (5) at a lower end portion thereof. The guiding device (4) is configured such that the medium is able to flow out of the opening (5) substantially towards the first portion (3) of the machining tool (2), and/or the guiding device (4) has an extraction device.

A sliding compound miter saw slide device allows a user to easily and accurately move a saw for proper alignment with a cutting material or workpiece. The sliding saw slide device integrates an adjustment or alignment mechanism configured to move an upper base portion of the saw base relative to a lower base portion of the saw base. In addition, a sliding saw stand allows a user to easily and accurately move a saw for proper alignment with a cutting material or workpiece. The sliding saw stand integrates an adjustment or alignment mechanism configured to move an upper miter saw mount member/plate relative to the saw stand base/base frame.

A multi-link miter saw includes a base, a table supported on the base, a supporting unit connected to the table, a linkage unit connected to the supporting unit, a cantilever arm unit including a cantilever arm pivotally connected to the linkage unit and a connection member pivotally connected between the cantilever arm and the linkage unit for enabling the cantilever arm to be driven by the linkage unit and the connection member to move along a horizontal axis between the rear edge and front edge of the base, and a cutting unit pivotally connected to the cantilever arm unit. Based on the arrangement of the linkage unit and the cantilever arm unit, the cutting unit can be moved smoothly relative to the table, thus enhancing operation stability.

A sawmill includes a saw carriage and a swing saw which in turn has a circular blade and a drive shaft. The mill also includes a pair of ground engaging tracks. The saw carriage has a pair of posts/uprights each supporting an opposite end of a cross-frame, which incorporates a clamp at each end, and these can be tightened against one of the posts to stabilise the saw carriage. The saw cantilevers from the saw carriage such that the saw's drive shaft is to one side of the cross-frame regardless of whether the blade is in a vertical or horizontal cutting orientation. The carriage moves along the tracks to carry the saw to make cuts in the longitudinal dimension of a log. The saw is also arranged to move laterally along the carriage between the uprights to make cuts the lateral dimension of the log.

An automated crosscut saw system utilizing a wood scanning unit to optimize the cuts in a particular piece of wood to remove defects or flaws and a method of use therefor is provided. The automated saw system has the ability to scan and cut a piece of wood simultaneously or in rapid succession without the need for scanning the entire length of the wood prior to cutting. Further, the automated saw system may eliminate the need for a secondary feeder and secondary queue.

The present disclosure provides systems, methods and assemblies comprising one or more tapered feed rolls. Tapered feed rolls may be used to change the rate and direction of workpiece travel along a processing line while retaining the workpieces in sequential order. Routing workpiece flow with tapered feed rolls may allow the workpieces to be tracked along one or more processing lines, and may reduce the operational space required for workpiece processing.
