A track, configured for use with a saw having a blade, including a track body having a side surface, a blade guide, and a splinter strip. The blade guide has an inboard side and an opposite outboard side. The blade guide is movable relative to the side surface between an inboard position in which the inboard side of the blade guide abuts the side surface and an outboard position in which a gap is formed between the inboard side of the blade guide and the side surface. The splinter strip is coupled to the outboard side of the blade guide. The splinter strip is configured to contact the blade to inhibit splintering of a workpiece while being a cut by the blade and the saw is moved along the track body.

A power tool guide assembly includes a power tool guide. The power tool guide has an elongate body having a workpiece side configured to engage a workpiece and a power tool side configured to engage a power tool. At least one elongate rail is mounted on the power tool side. The at least one elongate rail is configured to engage a reciprocal channel in the power tool and limit lateral movement of the power tool in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the elongate body. At least one edge protector is connectable to an end of the elongate body. Wherein the elongate body comprises a first connecting rod channel and the at least one edge protector comprises a second connecting rod channel and the first and second connecting rod channels are configured to receive at least one connecting rod.

An apparatus (100), including: a base reference contact (102) configured to correspond with a first point on a workpiece; a dimension contact (120) configured to move relative to the base reference contact along a dimension axis (124) and to correspond with a second point on a workpiece; and a pointer (162) operatively associated with the dimension contact such that movement of the dimension contact moves the pointer along the dimension axis an amount (X % D) that is proportional to and less than an amount (D) the dimension contact moves along the dimension axis.

A table saw, preferably a circular table saw, with a support structure which can be placed on a support and on the upper side of which a workpiece support plate is provided, and with a saw blade projecting upwards over the workpiece support plate. The workpiece support plate is mounted so that it can slide in the sawing direction relative to the support structure and to the saw blade and has a splinter protection element arranged on a side of the workpiece support plate facing the saw blade. This side is guided past the saw blade when the workpiece support plate is moved.

Blade guards for table saws are disclosed. The blade guards can be used in a configuration where the guard holds a work piece against a work surface. This may be thought of as blade guards with hold-down capability. The blade guards also include splitters and anti-kickback assemblies. The anti-kickback assemblies include anti-kickback pawls that can be in an operable configuration or a disabled configuration.
