Abstract: An apparatus includes a structure supporting a circular blade, a carriage on the structure for linear movement relative to the blade, and a lathe mounted on the carriage, the lathe rotatably supporting a workpiece in proximity to the blade. In one aspect, the support structure is pivotally connected to the carriage to allow pivoting of the lathe between an orientation for engagement of the workpiece with the blade and an orientation in which the workpiece is supported remote from the blade to facilitate operations on the workpiece with a tool implement other than the blade. In another aspect, the support plate is moveable with respect to the carriage in a direction orthogonal to a line parallel with the direction of allowed movement of the carriage relative to the frame, and a pattern plate is mounted to the support plate to control workpiece depth of cut.

Abstract: A device for facilitating easier operation of a spigot having a body portion, a reciprocatable portion which is linearly movable with respect to the spigot body portion between an open position and a closed position to regulate fluid flow through the spigot, and a spring member urging the reciprocatable portion to the closed position, includes a mount member which is configured to be removably attachable to a portion of the spigot and an actuator member connected to the mount member. The actuator member is movable with respect to the mount member between a first location in which the actuator member, when attached to the spigot, urges the reciprocatable portion of the spigot to the open position to allow fluid to flow through the spigot, and a second location in which the actuator member, when attached to the spigot, allows the spring member of the spigot to urge the reciprocatable portion of the spigot to the closed position to prevent fluid from flowing through the spigot.
