  • Patent number: 11045887
    Abstract: A miter saw includes a base, a table pivotally coupled to the base about a miter axis, and a saw unit coupled to the table for movement about the miter axis. A workpiece support is pivotable relative to the base between a first position, in which the table is permitted to pivot about the miter axis within a first range of miter angles, and a second position, in which the table is permitted to pivot about the miter axis within a second range of miter angles different than the first range. The miter saw further includes a locking mechanism for maintaining the workpiece support in at least one of the first position or the second position, wherein the locking mechanism includes an actuator supported by and moveable with the workpiece support between the first position and the second position.

  • Publication number: 20180257261
    Abstract: A tile saw includes a frame supporting a saw, a table, and pan. The pan includes an inside bottom surface and an outer wall defined by a first end wall, a second end wall spaced away from the first end wall, and first and second side walls extending between the first end wall and the second end wall. A connection assembly couples the frame to the pan, and includes a first engagement member disposed on the first end wall, and second and third engagement members disposed on the second end wall. A stand includes a plurality of legs that support the pan. A transport assembly transports the pan, the table, and the frame separately from the stand. The transport assembly includes wheels coupled to one of the first end wall or second end wall, and a handle coupled to the other of the first end wall or second end wall.

  • Publication number: 20140261367
    Abstract: A tile saw for cutting a workpiece includes a frame having a guide that extends from a first end to a second end. A first engagement member and second engagement member are coupled to the frame and disposed adjacent the first end, and a third engagement member is disposed adjacent the third end. A saw is coupled to the frame and is operable to rotate a cutting blade about an axis and a table is operable to support the workpiece. A pan is positioned to support the frame and contain a quantity of coolant. A fourth engagement member is coupled to the third engagement member and a first latch is selectively coupled to the first engagement member. A second latch is selectively coupled to the second engagement member. The first and second latch and the fourth engagement member cooperate to restrict movement of the frame with respect to the pan.
