Patent number: 10953482Abstract: A band saw kit including a band saw and an angle guide. The band saw includes at least one wheel for supporting a saw blade, a motor operable to drive the blade to cut a workpiece, a frame, and a workpiece bumper coupled to the frame. The workpiece bumper includes a slot configured to receive the blade, a first engaging surface defining a first plane, and is configured to be generally perpendicular to the blade as the blade passes through the slot. An angle guide is configured to be coupled to the workpiece bumper and includes a second engaging surface for engaging a workpiece. The second engaging surface defines a second plane. A cut angle is defined by an angle between the second plane and the first plane when the angle guide is coupled to the workpiece bumper.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2019Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: Milwaukee Electric Tool CorporationInventors: Michael S. Steele, Timothy Kenney, Steven F. Thiel

Patent number: 10357835Abstract: An angle guide for a band saw having a guide body for coupling to the band saw and a first engaging surface of the body for engaging a workpiece during a cutting operation of the band saw. The first engaging surface defines a first plane. The angle guide also has a second surface of the body defining a second plane. The second plane is substantially non-parallel to the first plane. The angle guide also includes a tool side edge of the body for being positioned adjacent the band saw, the tool side edge defining a third plane. A cut angle is defined by an angle between the first plane and the third plane.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2015Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORPORATIONInventors: Michael S. Steele, Timothy Kenney, Steven F. Thiel

Publication number: 20150231712Abstract: An accessory for a reciprocating saw, having a blade configured to cut a workpiece and a shoe including a guiding surface for engaging the workpiece, includes a body having a first face and a second face opposite the first face. The body includes a member proximate the second face for coupling the accessory to the shoe. A guiding surface is defined on the first face of the body for engaging a workpiece and an opening is formed in the body for receiving the blade. The guiding surface constitutes a modified surface configured to differ from the guiding surface of the shoe by at least one characteristic.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2015Publication date: August 20, 2015Inventors: Michael S. Steele, Timothy Kenney, Steven F. Thiel

Publication number: 20080112765Abstract: A method is provided for maintaining the structured stability and configuration of golf course sand bunker borders which method comprises excavating the soil area adjacent the bunker edge, rigidly positioning adjacent open-top, uniquely designed compartments in the excavated area along the edge of the bunker, filling the compartment with soil to the top of each compartment and leveling the soil on top of the compartments. Each compartment comprises side panels, front and back panels and a bottom closure panel. The compartment is rigidly positioned by means of spikes driven through the back and front panel into the soil at the edge of the bunker and a spike through the bottom closure into the soil beneath the sand in the bunker.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2008Publication date: May 15, 2008Inventors: Eric Carlson, Timothy Kenney
