  • Patent number: 7487942
    Abstract: A pipe clamp for clamping objects has wide, stable feet that prevent the clamp from tipping over. The feet are of such a height that the clamp handle can be rotated by the user without interference from the bench on which the pipe clamp rests. The clamping faces have holes drilled through them to allow jigs or cauls to be attached to the clamping faces to clamp unusually shaped objects. The clamp also has a hook on the foot for convenient hanging of the clamp for storage.

  • Patent number: 6668696
    Abstract: An outfeed table for a table saw for cutting a workpiece. The outfeed table attaches to the tabletop of the saw table and provides support for the workpiece as the workpiece is cut and moves off the saw table. The outfeed table consists of a support surface or tabletop for supporting the workpiece. Optionally, a miter slot is cut into the tabletop to receive a miter bar from the table saw tabletop. An adjustable bracket is attached to the support surface or tabletop at one end and to the tabletop of the saw table at the other end, for adjusting both the horizontal spacing of the outfeed table from the table saw and the height of the outfeed table relative to the table saw.

  • Patent number: 6502492
    Abstract: An adjustable miter attachment for use with a saw table consists of a miter slot bar which can be inserted into a miter slot in a saw table, the miter slot bar having a circular miter gauge attachment portion with a first axis therethrough; a circular adjustable miter gauge with a second axis therethrough engaging the circular miter gauge attachment portion for stepwise rotation upon the miter gauge attachment portion and the first axis coinciding with the second axis; and a locking member adapted to lock the adjustable miter gauge to the miter gauge attachment portion at each step of rotation. The miter gauge is adjustable in fine increments to produce various angles of the miter fence relative to the table top. The miter bar is adjustable for various slot widths in the table top.
