Abstract: A combination table and miter saw is provided which has a slotted strip attached directly to a rotatable work supporting base plate. The slotted strip is part circular and forms a bearing connection for a saw assembly which accommodates pivoting of the saw assembly about an axis through a working surface of the bottom of the base plate. A threaded adjusting spindle for locking the saw in position during table sawing is connected to a bearing block which also is attached to the slotted strip.

Abstract: A blade holding arrangement for cutter spindles or cutter heads which are adapted to be equipped with reversible blades. The arrangement including radially adjustable blade holders in the form of drawn profile sections, with the blades adapted to be pressed against guide shoulders of the cutter spindles or cutter heads. The blade holders are provided with a reinforcing elevation or projection that slopes downward in a direction of the guide shoulders. A groove, extending in parallel to the reinforcing elevation or projection, is provided in the blade holder adjacent the reinforcing elevation or projection on a radially inner side of the blade holder.

Abstract: A keyhole type saw is provided which includes transverse stroke control apparatus for controlling the movement of the saw blade in a direction transverse to the linear stroke path. According to preferred embodiments, the transverse stroke control apparatus includes a rotatable blade guide roll engageable directly with the saw blade, which guide roll is in turn carried at a guide lever arm. A rotary plate is supported in the housing of the saw and includes a pivot connection for a swing arm which has the other end engageable at the guide lever arm by way of cam surfaces, whereby the position of the swing arm directly controls the presenting transverse stroke of the blade guide roll and saw blades.
