Abstract: A fine adjuster for finely adjusting the lateral tilt position of a cutting machine body has improved operability. A cutting machine includes a table, a cutting machine body, a tilting member supporting the cutting machine body in a manner laterally tiltable relative to the table, a tilting locking member, and a lever member to adjust the tilt position of the cutting machine body. The lever member includes a fulcrum coupled to the table in a manner rotatable about an axis, a load point coupled to the tilting member, and an effort point extending from the fulcrum and located at a distance from the fulcrum greater than a distance between the fulcrum and the load point.

Abstract: The manufacturing method includes surface treatment and bonding. In the surface treatment, micro-order or nano-order asperities are formed on a surface of the metallic member. The bonding includes directly bonding the metallic member and the fiber-reinforced resin member by repeatedly bonding a melted portion of the fiber-reinforced resin member to the surface of the metallic member while partially melting the fiber-reinforced resin member, the metallic member having the asperities formed by the surface treatment.

Abstract: A sliding cutting machine (1) includes: slide bars (51); a slide base (52), which slides along the slide bars; and a cutting-machine main body (10), which is swingable in an up-down direction about an up-down swing (pivot) shaft (10a) provided on the slide base. The cutting-machine main body includes: an output shaft (37) extending in an axial direction orthogonal to the slide bars and mounting a cutting tool (11); an electric motor (23) between the cutting tool and the slide bars when the cutting tool is vertical, and located more upward than the slide bars; and a motive-power transmitting part (30) transmitting the driving force of the electric motor to the output shaft. The motive-power transmitting part is between the cutting tool and the slide bars and upward of the slide bars when the cutting-machine main body is at a top dead center.

Abstract: A shot treatment apparatus and a shot treatment method that can efficiently detect operational abnormalities and signs of operational abnormalities, and that can further take countermeasures based on the detected signs of operational abnormalities. This shot treatment apparatus is provided with a storage portion, a nozzle, a transport path, a compressed-air supply portion, a negative pressure gauge, an abnormality detection unit, an abnormality response unit, and a control unit. Shot material is transported to the nozzle by negative pressure generated in the interior of the nozzle. The negative pressure gauge is disposed on the transport path by which the shot material is transported. The abnormality detection unit detects “operational abnormalities” and “signs of operational abnormalities” based on detection results from the negative pressure gauge. The abnormality response unit operates based on the detection results from the abnormality detection unit.

Abstract: A cutting device main body with a saw blade in a tabletop cutting device, supported so as to be swingable in an up-to-down direction with respect to a table on which material to be cut is placed, aims to improve operability for attaching and detaching the battery. A sliding direction for attaching and detaching the battery is set to be a tilting direction angled with respect to an up-to-down moving direction of the cutting device main body in a surface direction of a cutting blade. Because of this configuration, all of an operation force for attaching and detaching the battery is not applied to the up-to-down moving direction of the cutting device main body. As a result, the cutting main body is not moved in an easy manner and operability for attaching and detaching the battery is improved.

Abstract: An operation knob is attached to one end of a transmission rod. The transmission rod is located in a slide bar supporting a cutting device main body so as to be slidable in a front-to-rear direction. A pulley of a belt transmission mechanism is joined to the other end of the transmission rod, and a click mechanism is arranged around a portion of the pulley. The click mechanism provides a tactile sensation (e.g. click feeling or feeling of moderation) and improves operability of the operation knob.

Abstract: A dust collection hose 162 is configured to be connected to a main body side connection port 161 and a supporting side connection port 171 of a main body supporting portion 60 so as to be smoothly rotatable about the respective longitudinal axes extending through the center of the respective port openings. Because of this configuration, even if an excessive external force is applied to the dust collection hose 162, the hose is able to rotate back into and retain a non-bent, smooth arrangement path of the dust collection hose 162, thus preventing occurrence of bending of the dust collection hose 162.
