A cordless aw is provided with regenerative braking means that increases the number of repeated cuttings the saw is able to perform (x) per full discharge cycle of the battery pack, as compared to the number of repeated cuttings achievable by the same saw not employing a regenerative braking means (y) per full discharge cycle of the battery pack, such that x/y is approximately at least one of the following: i) 1.1 when cutting a Pressure-Treated (PT) lumber workpiece having a cross-sectional size of approximately 89 mm×89 mm±2 mm, ii) 1.15 when cutting a Spruce Pine Fir (SPF) lumber workpiece having a cross-sectional size of approximately 38 mm×89 mm±2 mm, or iii) 1.25 when cutting Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) workpiece having a thickness of approximately 19 mm±1 mm and a width of approximately 76 mm±2 mm.

Cordless saw having improved cuts per battery charge

A miter saw has a base having a detent notch, a table rotatably connectable to the base, a pivoting assembly connected to the table, and a saw assembly supported by the pivoting assembly. The saw assembly has a blade movable downwardly for a cutting operation. A locking mechanism is disposed on the table. The locking mechanism is movable between an unlocked position and a locked position for selectively unlocking and locking the table for rotational movement relative to the base about the miter axis. The locking mechanism has a lock lever rotatably connected to the table. The lock lever has a handle for moving locking mechanism between the locked and unlocked positions. The saw also has a miter detent assembly for selectively engaging and disengaging the detent notch.
