Abstract: A pair of pliers, having particular utility for removing a hook swallowed by a fish, is rendered buoyant by affixing a block of closed cell polymeric foam between the inner aspects of the handles.

Abstract: Improved dust collector for radial arm saws of the type in which a generally funnel-shaped flat-bottomed shroud is connected to avacuum hose and positioned at the rear of the worktable. The top and bottom of the shroud are contoured so that the shroud partially surrounds the column which supports the radial arm, the bottom of the shroud resting on a platform clipped to the spacer board of the saw table and attached to the saw frame. The shroud is clipped to the platform in a manner permitting it to be aligned with the saw blade, even during bevel cuts along the left half of the saw table, and thus is especially effective in collecting sawdust and wood chips.

Abstract: A folding extension table is attached to the discharge end of a table saw to facilitate support of comparatively long workpieces. The extension table is designed to permit miter gauge rods to slide forward without interference. Other features include the manner of attachment, which offers versatility in adapting to a wide variety of saw assembly dimensions and configurations.

Abstract: Power saws, e.g., radial arm saws or table saws, are provided with a folding extension table to accommodate comparatively long workpieces. The distal end of the table is supported by folding legs, the proximal end of the table being pivotally connected to one edge of the normal worktable.

Abstract: Improved dust collector for radial arm saws of the type in which a generally funnel-shaped flat-bottomed hood, or shroud, is connected to a vacuum hose and positioned at the rear of the worktable. The bottom, or floor, of the shroud has a rearwardly extending slot through which a bolt is inserted to connect the hood to a spacer board of the worktable, thereby permitting the shroud to be rotated so as to align with the saw blade. A support member is positioned between the saw base and the floor to maintain the shroud in level position.

Abstract: Improved form of dust collector for radial arm saws in which a funnel-shaped hood positioned at the rear of the work table is held in place by a clamp mounted so as to overlie the spacer board which is at the rear of the work table. In a preferred embodiment, the clamp has an inverted L-shaped cross-section, a vertical portion of the clamp being gripped between the back of the rear table and the spacer board, and a horizontal portion of the clamp extending over the floor of the hood. Dust and wood particles generated when the saw is used in a ripping position are advantageously and efficiently collected by connecting a vacuum hose to the saw blade guard by a suitable adapter.
