  • Patent number: 6994008
    Abstract: A table saw includes a worktable turnable relative to a mounting frame, a support seat journalled on bearing members of the mounting frame and slidable relative thereto along a sliding path, and a saw blade rotated with a blade shaft driven by a motor. A spindle is rotatably mounted to the support seat and is coupled to the blade shaft so as to move the blade shaft when rotated, thereby adjusting height of the saw blade relative to the worktable. An inclination adjusting member is disposed to actuate the support seat to move along the sliding path so as to change an angular position of the saw blade relative to the worktable.

  • Patent number: 6729221
    Abstract: A scroll saw includes a work platform, a C-shaped frame, a blade unit, a blade holder unit, a motor unit, a transmission unit, a pivot unit, and a locking unit. The C-shaped frame has upper and lower frame portions disposed above and below a top side of the work platform. The blade unit has blade ends retained on the blade holder unit. The motor unit drives the blade holder unit via the transmission unit for moving the blade unit to reciprocate relative to the work platform. The pivot unit mounts pivotally the C-shaped frame on the work platform about a pivot axis in the longitudinal direction, thereby permitting sawing angle adjustment. The locking unit locks releasable the C-shaped frame to the work platform so as to arrest pivoting movement of the C-shaped frame relative to the work platform.

  • Patent number: 6725757
    Abstract: A scroll saw includes upper and lower driving arms, a saw blade, a blade retaining unit, push rod, a biasing unit, and an actuating unit. The blade retaining unit includes a pivot seat mounted pivotally on a distal end of the upper driving arm, and an upper blade holder mounted on the pivot seat. The pivot seat is pivotable relative to the upper driving arm from a first position, where the upper blade holder engages an upper blade end of the saw blade, to a second position, where the upper blade holder disengages from the upper blade end. The biasing unit provides a biasing force that pivots the pivot seat to the first position. The actuating unit provides a pressing force on the push rod to push the pivot seat to pivot to the second position so as to permit release of the saw blade.
