  • Feedback systems for adjustment mechanisms on power tools
    Publication number: 20070295183
    Abstract: The present invention relates to feedback systems that are used with power tools to provide the user with sensory feedback information allowing the user to determine the position of an adjustable portion of a power tool with respect to a stationary portion of a power tool or with respect to a workpiece without having to refer to a scale or manual measuring device. This feedback information may make it easier and faster for the user to determine the orientation or location of an adjustable portion of a power tool or determine the orientation or location of the workpiece with respect to an operational member of the power tool allowing the user to concentrate his thinking on executing the operation instead of concentrating on set up.
