A portable machining apparatus has high operability in tilting a body with respect to a base or in machining a workpiece with the tilting body. A portable machining apparatus placeable on a long gauge placed on an upper surface of a workpiece includes a base placeable on the long gauge, a body including a blade for machining the workpiece, an angular plate fixed to the base to support the body in a tiltable manner and including a protrusion, a body support located between the body and the base and including a guide engageable with the protrusion to allow sliding of the protrusion on the guide, and a spring that urges the protrusion toward the guide.

A mobile hand-held sawing machine having: a sawing assembly (11), which has a sawing tool holder (14) for a sawing tool (15) and a saw drive motor (12) for driving the sawing tool holder (14); and a guide device (17), which has a guide body (18) having a guide face (19), extending along a longitudinal axis (L), for guiding the hand-held sawing machine (10) in a working direction (AR) on a workpiece (W); the hand-held sawing machine (10) having a pre-cutting assembly (31), which is arranged on the guide device (17) in front of the sawing assembly (11) in relation to the working direction (AR) in a longitudinal position in relation to the longitudinal axis (L) and has a pre-cutter tool holder (34) for a pre-cutting tool (35) and a pre-cutter drive (32A) for driving the pre-cutter tool holder (34)

A method of aligning a saw unit and a base. The saw unit further includes a front bevel angle adjustment bracket proximate a front end of the base and a rear bevel angle adjustment bracket proximate a rear end of the base. The saw unit further comprises a first fastener extending through a first elongated slot in one of the base or the front bevel angle adjustment bracket and a second fastener extending through a second elongated slot in one of the base or the rear bevel angle adjustment bracket. Each of the first and second elongated slots extends along a lateral axis oriented transverse to the longitudinal axis of the base to permit lateral adjustment of the saw unit relative to the base.

A power saw tool, in particular a hand-held circular saw, includes at least one cutting depth setting unit and at least one locking unit. The cutting depth setting unit is configured to set a cutting depth. The locking unit is configured to at least one of block and deactivate the cutting depth setting unit in at least one operating state. The locking unit is mounted so as to be at least partially movable on the cutting depth setting unit.

Circular saws with transparent windows that extend within blade guard openings and cover fastening structures. The circular saws include a motor and an arbor configured to operatively attach a circular saw blade to the circular saw. The circular saws also include a blade guard. The blade guard includes a blade guard opening, which is positioned to permit a user of the circular saw to view a leading edge of the circular saw blade as the circular saw cuts a workpiece. The circular saws also include a transparent window, which extends within the blade guard opening, and a cover fastening structure, which is configured to selectively attach a splinter guard to the blade guard while the transparent window extends within the blade guard opening.

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.
