Patent number: 7455003Abstract: A tile saw includes a base, a frame, adjacent first and second rails disposed on the frame, and a table slidingly disposed on the first rail. The table has a bottom surface and an upper surface for supporting a workpiece. The second rail a bottom surface and an upper surface that faces the bottom surface of the table. First and second bearings are disposed on a first shaft connected to the table. The first bearing is disposed on the first rail, and the second bearing is disposed on the bottom surface of the second rail. The frame includes a support assembly and a saw assembly with a motor and cutting wheel. The motor and cutting wheel are supported by an arm so that the cutting wheel hangs above the upper surface of the table. The first rail and the second rail are positioned on one side of the cutting wheel.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2005Date of Patent: November 25, 2008Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Gregg L. Sheddy, James D. Schroeder, Peter Chaikowsky, Darren B. Moss, Warren A. Ceroll, Stuart J. Wright, William D. Spencer, Jiangang Zhao, William S. Taylor, Frank A. Mannarino

Publication number: 20080078470Abstract: A sensing mechanism (12) for detecting user contact with an active portion (26) of the power tool (10) is provided. In addition, a safety mechanism (14) for preventing prolonged user contact with the active portion (26) of a power tool (10) is provided. The safety mechanism (14) is configured to actuate upon receipt of a signal from the sensing mechanism (12). According to a first aspect, the safety mechanism (14) is arranged to rapidly displace the active portion (26) away from a user extremity. Alternatively, according to a second aspect, the safety mechanism (14) is arranged to rapidly urge an extremity of the user away from the active portion (26) of the power tool (10).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2007Publication date: April 3, 2008Inventors: Michael O'Branion, David Carrier, Adan Ayala, Michael Baron, James Bascom, Frederick Bean, Mark Brunson, Warren Ceroll, Peter Chaikowsky, David Doss, Robert Gehret, John Horky, Daryl Meredith, Philip Miller, William Stumpf, Matthew Webster, Qiang Zhang

Publication number: 20060174739Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, an improved miter saw is employed. The miter saw includes a base assembly, a rotatable table rotatably connected to the base assembly, the table having a table plane, a fence connected to the base assembly and having a fence plane, a saw assembly including a motor and a blade driven by the motor, the blade having a radius and a blade center, and a pivot arm pivotally attached to the table and pivotally supporting the saw assembly about a first axis substantially parallel to the table plane, allowing a user to plunge the blade below the table plane, wherein the distance between the first axis and the table plane is about 0.472 times the radius. Also, the distance between the first axis and the fence plane is about 1.45 times the radius, and the distance between the first axis and the blade center is about 1.882 times the radius. In addition, the distance between the blade center and the table plane is about 0.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2006Publication date: August 10, 2006Inventor: Peter Chaikowsky
