A drill stand includes a base supportable upon a mounting surface, a mast defining a longitudinal axis and extending upward from the base, a carriage moveably coupled to the mast and configured to support a core drill thereon, a spindle assembly for moveably adjusting the carriage along the mast, a handle assembly for rotating the spindle assembly, and a lock assembly that is operable to secure the carriage in a selected position on the mast. The lock assembly includes a first adjustment dial positioned on a first side of the carriage, a second adjustment dial positioned on a second side of the carriage, and a locking member operably coupled to the first and second adjustment dials to selectively secure the carriage on the mast.

Core drill assembly

A power tool, such as a drilling power tool, configured to perform an easy hole start operation upon actuation of a trigger. When the trigger is actuated, the motor is driven at a low speed value. The motor speed is increased to a second speed value during a predetermined time threshold and then driven at the second speed value until the trigger is no longer actuated. In some embodiments, the easy hole start operation may be implemented by an easy hole start switch. In some embodiments, if the easy hole start operation persists for a time greater than a predetermined time threshold, then the motor will shut off.

Easy hole start operation for drilling power tools

A power tool includes a housing, a motor located within the housing, a drive assembly located within the housing and connected to an output of the motor, at least one cutting wheel coupled to the drive assembly, and at least one switch configured to control activation of the motor for directional rotation of the drive assembly in either a forward rotational direction or a reverse rotational direction. The drive assembly is configured to operate in the reverse rotational direction during dry cutting. The drive assembly is configured to operate in the forward rotational direction during wet cutting.

Cut-off saw including forward and reverse blade rotation

A band saw including a housing, a motor, a drive pulley configured to receive torque from the motor, and a plurality of driven pulleys rotatably coupled to a plate, in which the plate is coupled to the housing for sliding movement. The band saw further includes a cavity within the housing and located between the drive pulley and the plurality of driven pulleys and an endless saw blade wrapped around the drive pulley and the plurality of driven pulleys. A first of the driven pulleys is rotatable about a first axis oriented perpendicular to the plate. A second of the driven pulleys is rotatable about a second axis that is obliquely oriented relative to the plate to impart a twisting movement to the saw blade about an oblong path defined by the saw blade, prior to the saw blade passing through the cavity.

Band saw

A core drill assembly includes a core drill and a stand upon which the core drill is mounted. The stand includes a base supportable upon a mounting surface, a mast defining a longitudinal axis and extending upward from the base, a carriage moveably coupled to the mast and configured to support the core drill thereon, and at least one leg pivotably coupled to the base between a deployed position, in which the leg extends away from the base, and a stowed position, in which the leg is at least partially recessed within the base.
