Publication number: 20230241736Abstract: A dust collector is operable to collect dust and debris generated during operation of a power tool. The dust collector includes a mounting base configured to couple to the power tool, a tether coupled to the mounting base, and a shroud extending from the mounting base. The mounting base defines a longitudinal axis. The tether is configured to be wrapped around a portion of the power tool. The shroud includes a first end adjacent the mounting base, a second end operable to contact a workpiece, and a sleeve extending between the first end and the second end.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Kenneth D. Peterson, Bryan C. Ward, James E. Pangerc

Publication number: 20230110578Abstract: A hole saw includes a cylindrical body having a sidewall with a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The cylindrical body includes a gullet formed in the sidewall between a leading surface, a trailing surface, and a bottom surface of the sidewall. The gullet defines a central longitudinal axis extending between the first and second ends of the sidewall that is obliquely oriented relative to a rotational axis of the hole saw such that the gullet is angled from the first end to the bottom surface in a direction toward a cutting direction of the hole saw. The gullet has a dimension measured parallel to the rotational axis between the first end of the sidewall and the bottom surface of the gullet that is greater than 1.5 inches. The hole saw includes a cutting tooth coupled to the first end of the sidewall adjacent the gullet.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2022Publication date: April 13, 2023Inventors: Max R. Sawa, Geoffrey R. Piller, Kenneth D. Peterson, Travis J. DuMez, James Ernest Pangerc

Patent number: 10730119Abstract: A hole saw is movable about a rotational axis in a cutting direction to cut into a workpiece. The hole saw includes a cylindrical body having a sidewall with a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The cylindrical body also includes a gullet formed in the sidewall between a leading surface, a trailing surface, and a bottom surface of the sidewall. The trailing surface defines a portion having a first radius. The bottom surface has a second radius. The first radius is larger than the second radius. The hole saw also includes a cutting tooth coupled to the first end of the sidewall adjacent the gullet.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2018Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORPORATIONInventors: Max R.

Patent number: 5065802Abstract: A dado lathe is provided for use with a table saw in performing numerous cutting operations on a piece of wood stock. The dado lathe device includes a pair of parallel, spaced apart guide rails upon which a frame is slidably mounted. The frame includes vertically and longitudinally adjustable headstock and tailstock spindles for rotatably supporting the wood stock. A drive system selectively rotates the wood stock while moving the frame longitudinally along the guide rails. Using the dado lathe device, a square wood stock can be turned to a round wood stock, spiral and grooves can be cut in the wood stock, the wood stock can be tapered, and beading and reeding can be cut along the length of the wood stock.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1990Date of Patent: November 19, 1991Inventor: Kenneth D.
