Abstract: A table saw has a base assembly, a table assembly supported by the base assembly, the table assembly, and a saw assembly supported by at least one of the table assembly and the base assembly. The saw assembly has a saw blade extending through the table assembly. The base assembly has at least one foot having a substantially horizontal surface, a substantially vertical surface, and a curved surface disposed between the substantially horizontal surface and the substantially vertical surface. The substantially vertical surface is substantially coplanar with a surface of the table assembly so that the table saw can be disposed on the substantially vertical surface and the surface of the table assembly.

Abstract: An angle guide assembly for being coupled to a table body that slides along a longitudinal axis relative to a base of a saw. The angle guide assembly includes an attachment member configured to attach the angle guide assembly to the table body; a guide body and an angled fence pivotally coupled to the guide body between a first orientation in which a workpiece can be placed at an angle to the longitudinal axis along a first guide surface of the guide body by placing the workpiece against the fence surface, and a second orientation in which a workpiece can be placed at an angle to the longitudinal axis along a second guide surface of the guide body by placing the workpiece against the fence surface.

Abstract: A fastening tool for driving a fastener into a workpiece is described herein. The fastening tool includes a contact trip, a magnet, and a magnetometer. The contact trip is disposed at a first end of the fastening tool and is configured to move toward a second end of the fastening tool opposite of the first end when the contact trip engages the workpiece. The magnet is configured to generate a magnetic field. The magnet is coupled to the contact trip such that movement of the contact trip causes the magnet to move. The magnetometer is configured to detect a change in the magnetic field generated by the magnet when the magnet moves relative to the magnetometer and, based on the detected change in the magnetic field, to generate a signal indicating when the contact trip engages the workpiece.

Abstract: A flywheel (34) can be mounted on a flywheel carriage (88) that can include a pair of axles (90). The flywheel carriage can be movable along two pairs of guide slots (42) of the tool frame between a disengaged position in which the flywheel is spaced from the fastener driver (26), and an engaged position in which the flywheel is engaged with the fastener driver to drive the fastener driver along a driver axis. A pair of pinch rollers (50) can be coupled to the tool frame and can be engageable with a pinch roller side of the driver profile that is opposite the flywheel side. A plane aligned with an axis of rotation of the flywheel and oriented perpendicular to the driver axis can be located between an axis of rotation of each of the pair of pinch rollers throughout engagement of the flywheel with the fastener driver along the longitudinal flywheel engagement length.

Abstract: A chop saw includes a base assembly and a saw assembly pivotally attached to the base assembly. The base assembly has a workpiece-supporting plane. The saw assembly has a blade and a motor driving the blade. A hinged connection between the base assembly and a saw assembly allows a user to rotate the saw assembly from a position where the plane of the blade extends through the workpiece-supporting plane to a position where the plane of the blade does not extend through the workpiece-supporting plane. In such position, the plane of blade may be substantially parallel to the workpiece-supporting plane. A switch or sensor may detect when the saw assembly is in the pivoted position so that the motor cannot be activated in such position.
