  • Patent number: 5146826
    Abstract: A circular saw device having a variable cut-off angle includes a rotary table provided on a base, and a rotatable circular saw mounted on the rotary table to be movable upwardly and downwardly. A locator is provided on the base and has a curved front central portion concave backwards so that the locator does not interfere with the saw. The locator is movable between a first and a second position depending upon the cross-sectional size of the workpiece to be cut by the saw. The locator is placed in a first position when the workpiece has a small cross-sectional size and in a second position when the workpiece has a large cross-sectional size. Fitted members are provided in the bottom of the locator and are irremovably fitted in guide holes of the base so that the members are slidable in the holes to move the locator from the first to the second position. Pins are provided in the locator and are removably fitted in the small holes of the base to place the locator in the first or the second position.

  • Patent number: 5063802
    Abstract: A variable cutting-angle circular saw device includes a base; a rotary table 2 rotatably disposed in the central portion of the base; a bracket liftably attached to a hinge; a motor, a speed reducer, a circular saw, an outer cover, and a safety cover, all being fixed to the bracket; a fence fixed in a rearward position of the base; a clamp fixed at left- and right-hand positions of the device so as to allow a workpiece to be clamped for cutting the workpiece. A sawdust-guiding frame piece is suspended from a lower end of a rear portion of the cover so as to smoothly block a gap between the lower end of the rear portion of the outer cover and an upper surface of a curved portion in the central portion of the fence, guiding the sawdust blowing up via the blow-up port, to the inner side of the rear end of the outer cover. A sawdust accommodating chamber below the rotary table is closed at the bottom and has a substantially arcuate bag-like shape, and communication with the cover via a port at the rear thereof.

  • Patent number: 5040444
    Abstract: A saw blade position setting apparatus of a working table such as a table saw which is mounted on a support frame and to which a blade assembly is mounted with a handle assembly including a handle and a handle shaft held by the support frame to be rotatable and operatively connected to the blade assembly. The blade assembly is supported by a support member connected to the handle shaft. A clutch mechanism is selectively transmitting rotation of the handle to a blade assembly elevating mechanism and a blade assembly inclining mechanism. The elevational position and the inclination of the blade assembly are adjusted in accordance with the rotation of the handle assembly. A rack is secured to the support frame and the handle assembly is moved along the rack to a predetermined angle position. A lock lever is disposed in operative association with the handle assembly and operatively connected to the clutch mechanism.

  • Patent number: 5035059
    Abstract: A hand-held scroll saw having a blade includes a body having a handle provided at the upper portion of the body, a foot plate provided at the lower portion of the body so as to be slid on a workpiece which is to be cut by the saw, a piston provided over the front portion of the plate so as to be moved upwardly and downwardly, and a motor provided between the handle and the plate so as to move the piston up and down. A hung member is removably secured to the sawing blade at the upper end thereof, and a hanger is secured to the piston at the lower end thereof and engaged with the hung member. A U-shaped arm having an upper portion secured to the body and a lower portion located near the lower end of the blade so that the arm does not interfere with the workpiece. A pulled-down member is removably secured to the blade at the lower end thereof, and a pulling-down member is engaged with the pulled-down member.

  • Patent number: 4958544
    Abstract: A radial arm saw, comprising a base having a column mounted thereon with a guide arm supported vertically movably on the column. The guide arm has an inverted U-shape. A saw member slides along the bottom of the guide arm by means of bearings engaging symmetrically arranged longitudinal grooves in the side walls of the arm. The grooves have lower faces inclined downwards towards the centerline. The bearings are similarly inclined and can be adjusted axially. A rectangular U-shaped locking spring is engaged with the saw member support so as to have one of the arm side walls between its arms. When the locking spring is compressed, the saw member is locked along the arm. An integral switch case is fitted within the arm and has an integral bendable cover to cover a recess for a power switch. The switch has an ON-button which can be locked to be inoperative. The back of the switch case and the arm support on the column have corresponding U-shaped grooves for fitting a wire support tray.
