  • Publication number: 20120110863
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a vegetation pruning device comprising a main body; a cutting element; a guide bar for supporting the cutting element; a motor for driving the cutting element; a first handle assembly; a second handle assembly; a locking mechanism for detachably securing the second handle assembly to the first handle assembly; a connecting mechanism being positioned between the first handle assembly and the guide bar; the first handle assembly or the second handle assembly being operable to move linearly toward to or away from the guide bar, the connecting mechanism is provided to change the linearly movement of the first or the second handle assembly to the pivoting of the guide bar. Both of the first handle assembly and the second handle assembly are moving linearly, which makes the operator feel comfortable in any working instance.

  • Publication number: 20110308368
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a miter saw, including a base, a work table, a saw unit pivotally mounted on the base, and fence assembly connected to the base. The fence assembly is directly removably mounted on the base so as not to cause space between the two fences, thus promoting cutting precision and making simple structures at a lower cost. The fences having different heights are interchangeably used, which increases inclined cutting angles.

  • Publication number: 20110271810
    Abstract: A table saw including a base, a work table on the base, a slot defined through the work table, a saw blade extending through the slot, and an optic indicating device located beneath the work table including at least one light emitter. The light beam of the light emitter parallels to the plane of the saw blade. The cutting position and the obliquity of the saw blade indicated by the optic indicating device.

  • Publication number: 20110179925
    Abstract: A miter saw comprises a worktable; a first support member attached to the worktable; a second support member attached to the first support member; a saw unit pivotally connected to the second support member via a pivot; and a matching mechanism disposed between the first support member and the second support member, the matching mechanism is operated to cause the second support member to move with respect to the first support member, and the second support member is moved to reach a plurality of predetermined working positions to perform cutting operation. Thus, the cutting capacity of the miter saw is improved for the miter saw being able to cut workpieces with more specifications.

  • Publication number: 20110167586
    Abstract: An industrial dust collector comprises a frame body, a suction device attached to the frame body, a suction device attached to the suction device. The frame body has a containing cavity for containing the suction device. A supporting device is disposed between the suction device and the frame body for the suction device being movably attached to the frame body, so that the suction device can move between an unfolding status and a containing status. In the unfolding status, the suction device is unfolded relative to the containing cavity; in the containing status, the suction device is contained in the containing cavity. Therefore, the industrial dust collector has the advantages of small packaging size, convenient transportation and low transportation cost.

  • Publication number: 20100232896
    Abstract: A drill press including a base, a column mounted on the base, and a head assembly connected to the column. Wherein the head assembly includes a power device and a drill bit rotatably driven by the power device, the drill press further includes first and second worktables, and a changeover mechanism disposed between the first and the second worktables for selectively securing the first or second worktable located at working position. The changeover mechanism can alternatively rapidly adjust the first and the second worktables to working position so as to permit the operator to select either the first worktable or the second worktable according to the shape of workpiece, saving the trouble of a special tooling disassembly.

  • Publication number: 20090165624
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a table saw having a stationary worktable having a work surface, a base for supporting the worktable, a motor-driven cutting device mounted between the worktable and base and at least one auxiliary support device disposed beside the worktable. The auxiliary support device is pivotal relative to the stationary table and the auxiliary support device can be converted between a extended position and a folded position. The auxiliary support device pivots upwardly when it converts from the extended position to the folded position and provides adequate support for making accurate cuts and is convenient to store or transport.

  • Patent number: 6691418
    Abstract: A circular saw including a frame, a drive means mounted to the frame coupled to a planar saw blade for rotation about a drive axis within a cutting plane and a base pivotably mounted to the frame about a first axis substantially parallel to the cutting plane and a second axis which is generally substantially parallel to the drive axis. In one aspect, the relative pivotal movement of the frame about the first axis is determined by a trim adjuster including disengageable position locator which is operable to provide a plurality of predetermined discrete engaged positions and a locking means for locking the position of the frame relative to the base over a continuous range of settings. The invention also provides a mounting assembly including a course adjustment means and a fine adjustment means to determine the pivotal movement of the frame about the second axis relative to the base.
