Publication number: 20240075653Abstract: A saw assembly including a base, a frame assembly disposed on the base and a rail system disposed on the frame assembly. The rail system extends in a longitudinal direction and a table assembly is slidingly disposed in the longitudinal direction on the rail system. The assembly includes a split table having a first table portion and a second table portion separated by a gap extending parallel to the longitudinal direction of the rail system. A pair of fences are mounted to the first and second table portions and bridge the gap to connect the first and second table portions to each other. The gap and corresponding channels and drain apertures allow the tile saw to channel and retain water while cutting a tile. At least one of the fences has a projection in the form of a bridge that is pivotable about the fence to move the projection away from the path of the blade.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Peter Chaikowsky, Robinson Lu, Chunlin Wu, Eric Tang, Marcus Rompel

Patent number: 11590592Abstract: A table saw has a base assembly, a table assembly supported by the base assembly, the table assembly, and a saw assembly supported by at least one of the table assembly and the base assembly. The saw assembly has a saw blade extending through the table assembly. The base assembly has at least one foot having a substantially horizontal surface, a substantially vertical surface, and a curved surface disposed between the substantially horizontal surface and the substantially vertical surface. The substantially vertical surface is substantially coplanar with a surface of the table assembly so that the table saw can be disposed on the substantially vertical surface and the surface of the table assembly.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2021Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: BLACK & DECKER INC.Inventors: Warren A.

Publication number: 20220168924Abstract: A tile saw for cutting tile includes a frame assembly on which a rail assembly is mounted and a table assembly that is movable along the rail assembly. The table assembly includes a table and wheels mounted on the underside thereof that move the table along the rail assembly. The table assembly can cantilever with respect to the frame assembly by the travel of the wheels along the rail assembly. By cantilevering the table assembly, a wide variety of sizes of tiles can be cut without increasing the length of the rails to accommodate larger tile. The saw assembly also includes an asymmetrical C-shaped column assembly that increases the tile size capacity of the tile saw without increasing the table size.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2022Publication date: June 2, 2022Inventor: Peter CHAIKOWSKY
