  • Publication number: 20240051173
    Abstract: A table saw including a table, a saw unit, a storage mount bracket, and a blade guard assembly. The saw unit includes a saw blade and a riving knife. The saw blade is extendable through a slot in the table. The riving knife is positioned behind the saw blade and has a first mating interface. The storage mount bracket has a second mating interface complimentary to the first mating interface. The blade guard assembly is attachable to the first mating interface of the riving knife to cover at least a portion of the saw blade. The blade guard assembly is additionally attachable with the second mating interface to attach the blade guard assembly to the storage mount bracket when the blade guard assembly is removed from the riving knife.

  • Patent number: 11628587
    Abstract: A powered saw assembly includes a base having a top surface, a column fixed to the top surface, and a guide rail supported above the top surface. The assembly includes a saw unit translatable along the guide rail, the saw unit including a rotating arbor to which a saw blade is attachable for co-rotation therewith. A blade guard at least partially surrounds the saw blade and defines an opening through which the saw blade is movable for attaching or removing the saw blade relative to the arbor. A cover is movably coupled to the blade guard to selectively close the opening. With the cover moved away from the blade guard to expose the opening, the saw blade is attachable or removable relative to the arbor through the opening without passing the saw blade through the slot.

  • Patent number: 11548137
    Abstract: A tool stand includes a table having a tool support surface and a plurality of legs movable relative to the table to define a first configuration and a second configuration of the tool stand. The plurality of legs includes a first leg and a second leg, each pivotable about a first axis, and the plurality of legs further includes a third leg and a fourth leg, each pivotable about a second axis parallel to the first axis. The tool stand further includes a base frame coupled to the third and fourth legs, and a latch mechanism including a latch element movable between a latched position and an unlatched position. The latch mechanism is configured to inhibit movement of each of the legs relative to the table when the latch element is in the latched position and the tool stand is in the first configuration.
