Patent number: 11383336Abstract: A reversible flip-away work-stop for strut systems. The reversible flip-way work stop includes a first component allowing a work stop positioning plate to pivot in a semi-circular motion allowing the work stop positioning plate to be moved and immediately configured in a right-handed configuration or a left-handed configuration without manual disassembly and reassembly in a strut in a strut system. A second component allowing the work stop positioning plate to be micro-adjusted to measurements including thousands of an inch for precisely measuring a material to be cut. A third component includes a pre-determined length to exactly match an alignment of a front face of the work stop positioning plate allowing a measurement to be read on a measuring component in the strut on the strut system without obstruction.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Inventor: Robert James Suhling

Patent number: 10858028Abstract: An axle kit apparatus for increasing the mobility of foldable sawhorse stands while allowing the tires used to be customizable. The invention consists of an axle that connects all of the pieces together. It is mounted with two fasteners that pass through the axle. Two spindles thread into the axle to allow them to be removable. Two objects with threaded apertures lock the spindles in place as well as provide the necessary preload to the bearing races of any tire used. The invention allows for any size spindle and tires to be used as long as the spindle can thread into the axle.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2018Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Inventor: Robert James Suhling

Patent number: 10836066Abstract: A Zero Clearance Fence that gives precision to chop saw fences. The invention consists of two flat surfaces and mounting devices. The flat surfaces are beveled at one edge of both surfaces. The beveled edge allows a tape measure to be hooked on at any desired miter angle. The invention mounts onto the original chop saw fences so that they are able to slide towards and away from the saw blade. The ability to slide allows the fences to always be right next to the saw blade at any miter angle cut for precision in the cut measurements. The mounting apertures can be located anywhere to allow the Zero Clearance Fence to fit on any chop saw.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2018Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Inventor: Robert James Suhling

Patent number: 10766109Abstract: The invention allows for alignment perpendicular to a track engaged by a securing nut. An opposing tooth key type aligner has two functions: keeps the second track perpendicular to the first track and allows the securing nut to always be correctly oriented to engage with the track. A bolt clamps the securing nut to the track to lock the position of the invention. A second axis perpendicular to the lower track is created with a second track. A bolt connected to a coupler nut engages with the middle track to create a third axis perpendicular to both previous axes. A washer provides a neutral bearing surface between the coupler nut and second track. An elevation bolt sets the vertical position of the object to be mounted. A bolt can be used to fasten an object to the end of the elevation bolt.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2018Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Inventor: Robert James Suhling

Patent number: 10336127Abstract: An EZ SPEEDY DUAL CLIP that increases the functionality of clipboards. The invention consists of a display surface, two clips, and some bends in the display surface. The clips are mounted on opposite faces and ends of the display surface, allowing both sides of the invention to be utilized. There are bends on both ends of the invention which allow the it to be positioned in various different ways for hands-free viewing. The invention can be inserted into most gaps and tracks, and it can also hook onto and hang from most surfaces and protrusions. When inserted into a gap or track, it is rigid enough to be written on.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2018Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Inventor: Robert James Suhling

Patent number: 10245653Abstract: A machining assembly which allows for precise and repeatable machining operations—primarily tube notching—to be carried out by an operator in various situations, and is specifically designed for hollow-form parting without use of a mandrel in prototyping and small-scale production. This system allows operators to cut copes in both typical and atypical materials, and offers the ability to produce double end-coped workpieces quickly. Additionally, the preferred embodiment can be equipped for use as a light-duty milling machine which incorporates portability with the benefits of traditional milling centers.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2016Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Inventor: Robert James Suhling

Patent number: 9682454Abstract: An in-line indexing mechanism as part of a work-stop system which employs a lead screw to alter the relative distance between a work-stop plate and a swing arm—as well as alignment pins and springs to maintain contact and rigidity between this work-stop plate and swing arm—in order to precisely alter the parameters of a workpiece plane. In particular, the indexing mechanism of the preferred embodiment resides within the extension of an arm, and is located, by default, within the workpiece plane; the act of indexing therefore exerts force upon a workpiece along a coincident axis within said workpiece plane. Additionally, the indexing mechanism may be removed from the workpiece plane, by way of axially rotating the arm, without abandoning the original workpiece parameter and adjustment values.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2014Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Inventor: Robert James Suhling

Patent number: 9545734Abstract: A clamp that is meant to act as a coordinate locator for any number of power tools, but most specifically for use with the Biesemeyer T-style table saw fences. The assembly is comprised of a C-frame which offers the ability to enact a clamping action and the ability to enact an indexing action. The design of the assembly allows not only for the clamping of an imprecise reference point along a table saw fence rail, but also the fine adjustment of indexing a screw against the table saw fence.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2014Date of Patent: January 17, 2017Inventor: Robert James Suhling

Publication number: 20150298273Abstract: A work-stop and work-adjustment assembly for use in the metalworking and woodworking fields which is meant to run within a strut system (as in Unistrut or a comparable product) and is comprised of a four-piece assembly. The design of the assembly allows for the fine adjustment of a piece of material and can be “flipped-away” out of the work piece plane in order to clear a work table surface. The present invention is unique in that it can be used in both woodworking and metalworking applications, and can be used to make a traditionally imprecise function—such as cutting on a radial arm saw—accurate to around ten thousandths of an inch (˜0.010?), and in some cases to around 5 thousandths of an inch (˜0.005?) depending on the instrument and material to be cut.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2014Publication date: October 22, 2015Inventor: Robert James Suhling
