Abstract: A power tool that includes a structure; a flywheel coupled to the structure; a driver that is translatable along a driver axis; and a follower assembly having an actuator and an activation arm assembly. The actuator is coupled to the activation arm assembly. The activation arm assembly is coupled to the structure and includes a pinch roller. Actuation of the actuator causes the pinch roller to translate toward and engage the driver to initiate driving engagement between the driver and the flywheel.

Abstract: The miter saw has a base assembly, a rotatable table rotatably disposed on the base assembly, a saw assembly rotatably supported by the table, and a bevel lock assembly for locking the rotational position of the saw assembly relative to the table.

Abstract: A chop saw having a base assembly, a saw assembly pivotally attached to the base assembly for movement between an upper position and a lower position, the saw assembly including a motor, a blade driven by the motor, an upper blade guard covering an upper part of the blade, and a laser assembly disposed on the saw assembly. The laser assembly may include a housing attached to the saw assembly, a rail supported by the housing, a body slidingly disposed on the rail, a holder pivotally attached to the body, a laser diode pivotally disposed on the body for emitting a laser beam along a first path, and a line lens disposed in the first path for converting the laser beam into a laser plane projected towards the base assembly.

Abstract: A saw with a base assembly, a table pivotably attached to the base assembly, a housing pivotably attached to the table, at least one rail slidably connected to the housing, and a saw assembly disposed on the at least one rail. The saw assembly includes a motor, and a blade driven by the motor. The saw also includes a dust collector attached to the saw assembly, the dust collector having a tube that extends through the housing.
