Patent number: 6569002Abstract: A hand-held oscillating spindle sander is disclosed. The sander includes a pair of toothed pulleys associated with the output shaft. The first pulley is attached to the output shaft for rotation with the output shaft. The second pulley is rotatably disposed on the output shaft for relative rotation with respect to the output shaft. The second pulley includes opposed camming surfaces formed on the inside thereof. A cam follower is attached to and extends from the output shaft so that it is positioned between the opposed camming surfaces. A pair of belts are respectively entrained around the first and second pulleys from a jackshaft rotatably received in the housing. Upon rotation of the belts, both pulleys rotate, but at slightly different speeds. This slight difference in speeds causes the cam follower to move along the opposed camming surfaces to create an oscillation effect for the output shaft.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2000Date of Patent: May 27, 2003Assignee: Porter-Cable/DeltaInventors: John Charles Smith, Mark Alan Etter, Brent Edward Stafford, James Timothy Stolzer, Craig Allen Carroll, Thomas O'Neal Walls

Patent number: 6347624Abstract: A tile saw includes a base, a frame supported on the base, a sliding table supported on the frame, an arm mounted to the frame, and a rotary saw mounted to the arm for cutting tile or other masonry products placed on the sliding table. The table includes rollers which ride inside substantially enclosed tracks on the frame. The substantially enclosed tracks prevent fluid from reaching the tracks and the rollers and prevent deposits of sludge from forming on the tracks and rollers and hampering the smooth movement of the sliding table. Also, because the rollers ride in enclosed tracks, the table is stable and does not tip relative to the tile saw. Also, the table can be easily removed from the tile saw when a locking assembly is unlocked. The base includes an integral reservoir and is hollow for increased rigidity. A blade guard pivots to a position to provide access to the saw blade, and includes an improved clamping mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2000Date of Patent: February 19, 2002Assignee: Porter-Cable/DeltaInventors: John Charles Smith, Ginger Lea Allen, Thomas O'Neal Walls, Michael Chad Hollis, Waymon Louis McNeal, Jr.
