Abstract: A safety system for powered cutting tools includes a miter saw safety device. Embodiments of the miter saw safety device may be positioned on one or both sides of the rotating saw blade and include a pivotable support arm and a support plate that is repositionable relative to the support arm. In some embodiments the support plate is biased toward the guide fence of the miter saw. The device enhances the capabilities of miter saw to make precise cuts safer, faster and easier.

Abstract: A safety system with a number of component devices that may be used alone or in combination to substantially reduce the risk of injury to the operator of the power cutting tool. The devices are designed for use with table saws, miter saws, jointers, routers, shapers and similar equipment. The devices secure a work piece against unanticipated movement and kickback while simultaneously protecting the operator's hands. The devices further enhance the capabilities of power equipment to make precise cuts safer, faster and easier. One such device includes a guide member for engaging a work piece and an adjustable alignment member for orienting the position of the guide member relative to a cutting blade.

Abstract: A system of safety devices is disclosed for use in connection with powered cutting tools, including but not limited to table saws, miter saws, jointers, shapers and routers. The devices include a right hand push device adapted to slide along the fence of a table saw, shaper, router or jointer, a dual bearing hold down device to secure a work piece in at least three directions and adapted for use with a table saw, shaper, router or jointer, an anti-kickback device to secure a work piece after a cut is made and while cutting continues and adapted for use with a table saw, shaper, router or jointer, a left hand hold down device for securing a work piece on the side of a cutting blade opposite that of a fence and adapted for use with a table saw, shaper, router or jointer, and a hold down device adapted for use with miter saws. Each of the devices, alone and in combination, protect the operator of the power tools from serious injury from the cutting tool and from work piece kickback.

Abstract: A safety hold down device is provided for use with a conventional table saw. In one embodiment, the device comprises an elongate base member that slideably nests in a recessed channel formed in the work surface of the table saw. An elongate hold down arm engages the base member to secure an oversized work piece there between. An alignment mechanism is pivotally secured to the base member to abut and align the work piece relative to the saw blade. The alignment mechanism is repositionable relative to the base member to provide a range of positions for orienting the work piece. Adjustable alignment pins may optionally be provided to abut a surface or edge of a work piece, regardless of the shape or contour of the surface or edge.
