Publication number: 20130333228Abstract: In a portable cutting tool configured to perform a cutting operation through movement along the upper surface of a workpiece, when an ordinary inner rotor type motor is used as the drive source, the motor is rotated at high speed to obtain a high output, which is reduced in speed by a speed reduction device to thereby secure an appropriate rotational speed for a rotary cutter. Since the electric motor is rotated at high speed in this construction, there have been problems of noise, vibration, etc. The present invention aims to achieve a reduction in the noise and vibration of the cutting tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2012Publication date: December 19, 2013Applicant: MAKITA CORPORATIONInventors: Kenichi Ota, Toru Fukuoka
