Abstract: A cross table for a woodworking machine, such as a sliding table saw, and to a woodworking machine having such a cross table. The cross table includes a horizontally lying first workpiece support surface, a stop rail arranged above the first workpiece support surface and having a first workpiece stop surface on a first side of the stop rail, which is arranged such that a workpiece resting on the first workpiece support surface horizontally in front of the stop rail can be placed with a side edge against the workpiece stop surface. The stop rail has a second workpiece stop surface on a second side of the stop rail opposite the first side, the second workpiece stop surface arranged such that a workpiece resting on the first workpiece support surface horizontally behind the stop rail can be placed with a side edge against the workpiece stop surface.

Abstract: A woodworking machine, such as a sliding table saw includes a workpiecee table with a substantially horizontal workpiece support surface and a sawing slot. A saw unit with a circular saw blade is arranged so as to be able to protrude from the sawing slot and defines a substantially horizontal saw line. A workpiece stop is movably arranged above the workpiece support surface with a vertically standing workpiece stop surface, such that a plate-shaped workpiece resting on the workpiece support surface in a support region arranged horizontally in front of the workpiece stop can be placed with a side edge against the workpiece stop surface. A, sensor device is configured to generate a sensor signal, wherein the sensor signal characterizes an end of cut.

Abstract: A safety device for machine tools, such as a panel-sizing circular saw or an edge-gluing machine, with a machining tool used for machining a workpiece supplied to the machine tool, comprises a detection device and a hazard reduction device. The detection device is designed to detect a hazardous situation of an operator of the machine tool and the hazard reduction device is designed to initiate a safety measure to reduce the risk of injury to the operator when a hazard signal characterizing a hazardous situation of the operator is received.

Abstract: The invention consists of a process for the control of the motorized feed drive for the movable workplace table of a machine tool, in particular the rolling carriage of a circular saw. The manual force that is applied by the operator in direction of the feed is sensed and converted to a corresponding measured value. From this a set value for the feed rate of the rolling carriage is created and from that is derived a control signal for the drive.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention a guard device for a standing circular saw, in particular for a bench circular saw, comprising a guard hood which is fixed removably and adjustably in respect of height to an arm fixed to the circular saw machine and which at least partially encloses a saw blade with a hollow space having an opening at the underside of the guard hood and which has at least one suction removal opening for saw waste, which suction removal opening communicates with said hollow space of the guard hood and leads into a suction removal conduit is characterized in that the guide path formed from the hollow space through the suction removal opening into the suction removal conduit has only changes in direction >90°. In a further aspect of the invention such a guard device is characterized in that the guard hood is fixed to the arm in positively locking relationship and can be moved out of the positively locking engagement horizontally in the plane of the saw blade.

Abstract: The invention pertains to an apparatus for the precise adjustment of a longitudinally movable component on a spatial axis, especially for the adjustment of the lateral position of the pre-scoring saw blade of a circular saw. This apparatus distinguishes itself by a threaded bolt that is movable around its longitudinal axis, which is parallel to the spatial axis, and has two coaxial thread sections of identical thread orientation and unequal thread pitch. A first thread section engages in a first threaded hole that is immovable in the longitudinal direction of the spatial axis, while the other threaded section engages in a second threaded hole on the longitudinally movable component.

Abstract: An adjustable stop mechanism for limiting the movement of a rip fence toward the cutting plane of a tiltable panel saw as an automatic function of the selected orientation of an abutment bar. The abutment bar has first and second orientations alternately presenting an abutment face of relatively low height, located at a greater distance from a reference surface, and a relatively greater height, located at a relatively shorter distance from the reference surface. When the abutment bar is rotated to the low height orientation, as to accommodate tilting of the panel saw blade, a limit stop position of movement of the abutment bar toward the cutting plane is automatically altered, so that the limit stop for the abutment bar support is farther away from the cutting plane. When the bar is oriented to present a full height abutment face, the limit stop automatically is altered in response to such orientation, to permit the support to move closer to the cutting plane.

Abstract: A pivotable stop for machine tools, in particular panel saws, having a striker bar, on which a first stop flap is mounted in a longitudinally displaceable but fixed manner, and is connected to a measurement and display unit which determines and displays the relative position of the stop flap to the striker bar, and in which a rod can telescopically be extended and retracted, which bears a second stop flap at its free end, characterized in that a coupling placed at the measurement and display unit detachably connects the rod to the measurement and display unit.

Abstract: A work tool machine comprises a power tool, an exhaust hood assembly disposed over the power tool in a manner to permit access of a work piece thereto, and a stationary member spaced from the hood assembly. An elongated guide bar extending between the stationary member and the hood assembly is pivotally attached at one end to the stationary member for rotation about a first axis, and at the other end to the hood assembly for rotation about a second axis. An elongated conduit extending between the stationary member and the hood assembly in fluid communication with the hood assembly is pivotally attached at one end to the stationary member for rotation about a third axis, and at the other end to the hood for rotation about a fourth axis. The distance between the first and second axes is equal to the distance between the third and fourth axes, and the distance between the first and third axes is equal to the distance between the second and fourth axes. The conduit is connected to an exhaust fan.
