Patent number: 10882127Abstract: A guide block assembly for controlling a saw blade of a band saw during cutting. The assembly includes a mounting part having a rear part adapted for securing the guide block assembly to the band saw frame and a front part for detachably securing a thrust part. The thrust part includes at least two thrust slats detachably secured in the front part of the mounting part. The slats are aligned and spaced apart around a center section of the front part. When using the guide block assembly, vibrations, chattering and heating of the saw blade are substantially reduced, and the production rate and speed are increased. The guide block assembly is typically used for band saws that have a cutting speed of between 1800-6000 m/min, pulley wheels having diameters of 1000-2500 mm, and saw blade widths in the range of 80-360 mm.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2017Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Inventor: Søren Luja Hansen

The guide is slidable along a guide rod and has a rotary element to which a backing block is attached for supporting the stock. The rotary element is provided with a detent which causes the element to move in predetermined increments as it rotates. The guide is rotatable about the guide rod so that it may be swung away from the working surface when the guide is not in use.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2003Date of Patent: August 14, 2007Inventor: Darrin Eugene Smith

Patent number: 7219585Abstract: A cutting workstation which includes a cutter mounted on an arm type configuration. The arm configuration is slidably moveable relative to a divided work piece support table, the cutter moveable there between. Further, the cutter is capable of elevating the arm either above or below the worktable. Not only is the arm capable of being lengthened and shortened, but also it is also of capable of rotation producing a variety of miter cuts. The arm is also capable of rotating to a vertical axis to produce a chop cut motion. The bifurcated table or work piece support is capable of being rotated through a number of degrees relative to the cutter also producing mitered or angled cuts. The bifurcated worktable is also capable of being elevated above or below or at the level of the cutter. The cutter, if in the form of a circular cutter blade, is preferably provided with the conventional pivotal spring-loaded blade guard.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2002Date of Patent: May 22, 2007Inventor: William Kelly

Patent number: 7127976Abstract: A guide comprises one or more brackets for securing the guide to a cutting tool, a horizontal support member secured to and moveable with respect to the brackets, and one or more arm assemblies secured to the horizontal support member and adapted to secure a working piece relative to the horizontal support member. With the working piece secured to the guide in this manner, the working piece may be readily advanced over a blade of the cutting tool by grasping and moving the horizontal support member relative to the brackets, thus ensuring a precise cutting of the working piece while also allowing a user to keep their hands away from the blade.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2005Date of Patent: October 31, 2006Inventor: George Fitzsimmons

Patent number: 7077043Abstract: A carrier adapted to securely hold a workpiece for manual movement through cutting engagement such as with the saw blade of a band saw in a manner that allows for precise and predictable cutting of the workpiece into boards of desired thickness. The carrier is slidably positioned in the miter guide slot that extends in the saw work table parallel to the cut of the saw blade, and is adapted for manual positioning of the workpiece transversely with respect to the guide slot to adjust the depth of cut of the blade into the workpiece.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2000Date of Patent: July 18, 2006Inventors: Thomas Norton Koerble, John Michael Haegler Koerble

Patent number: 7066068Abstract: A table saw having a frame to support a powered saw blade, a work surface moveably mounted on the frame, the work surface having at least two portions with a space therebetween to allow the saw blade to pass between the two portions. The work surface portions are joined by at least two drive dogs moveably seated in aligned brackets, thereby holding the two portions in fixed relationship when the work surface is both stationary and moving. A pin extends from each drive dog into a keyway mounted on the frame with a portion of the keyway adjacent to the saw blade extending away from the saw blade, whereby a drive dog approaching the saw blade is withdrawn from one of the pair of brackets and from the space between the two portions while the remaining drive dog or drive dogs continue to maintain the two portions in fixed relationship.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2004Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Inventor: Larry Caldwell

Patent number: 7021305Abstract: A cutting guide arrangement cutting guide arrangement, which is incorporated with a power saw machine which includes a cutting platform, having a cutting channel, for supporting a work piece thereon and a cutting blade overhung above the cutting platform for cutting the work piece along the cutting channel, includes a primary guider detachably mounting on the cutting platform in a slidably movable manner. The primary guider includes a guiding arm and a plurality of rip guides provided thereon, wherein each of the rip guides has a guiding edge, which is 45 degrees with respect to the cutting channel, adapted for selectively guiding an edge of the work piece to align a diagonal of the work piece with the cutting channel of the cutting platform.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2002Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Inventor: Wy Peron Lee

Patent number: 6978707Abstract: A miter cutting arrangement for a cutting machine is provided to accommodate cutting work at an angle or a bevel for precisely cutting on a work piece. It includes a platform support arm longitudinally mounting to a cutting head support bracket, a platform pivot arm transversely extended from the platform support arm, a head platform pivotally connected with the platform pivot arm to support a motor, a miter supporting unit, and a locker device for selectively locking the cutting head at the normal position and the slanted position. The miter supporting unit includes a miter support provided at an outer side of the head platform and a miter stopper provided at an outer end of the platform pivot arm to block the miter support when the head platform is rotated at the slanted position.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2004Date of Patent: December 27, 2005Inventor: Wy Peron Lee

Patent number: 6848350Abstract: The present invention discloses an improved miter gauge for retaining and adjustably positioning a workpiece. The miter gauge includes a fence frame pivotally mounted to a base member for adjusting the workpiece to be cut at a user selected angle. The fence frame includes a fence surface for positioning the workpiece. The fence surface is opposed by a quick-adjusting stopping unit mountable to the base member for clamping the workpiece therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2001Date of Patent: February 1, 2005Assignee: One World Technologies LimitedInventors: Kenneth M. Brazell, Robert G. Everts
