A guard assembly for a saw or other cutting device includes fixed and movable guards relatively pivotal by way of a linkage assembly having two links pivotally interconnected coaxially with a cam roller engageable with a cam surface for controlling relative guard movement. Other preferred features include a torsional coil guard return spring and spring enclosure that minimizes interference with workpiece cutting depth, an arbor shaft cover retention fastener that doubles, along with another caliper member, as a blade caliper set that prevents guard damage in the event of a bent or deflected blade or cutter, a drive assembly hold-down assembly for storage, and a horizontally-extending handle centered horizontally relative to the blade or cutter.

Guard and control apparatuses for sliding compound miter saw

In accordance with the present invention, an improved clamping apparatus is employed. The clamping apparatus includes a clamp body having a first and a second end, an attachment member having a first and second end, the first end of the attachment member connected to the first end of the clamp body, a clamping member having a first end and a second end, the clamping member slidably connected to the second end of the clamp body, a locking mechanism for locking the clamping member, and a spring biasing the locking mechanism towards a locking position. Preferably, the clamping member includes a pad disposed at the second end of the clamping member. Further, the clamping member may include a knob disposed at the first end of the clamping member. The clamping member may be a threaded rod. In addition, the locking mechanism may include a locking button that engages the threaded rod. This locking button has an upper surface. This upper surface may abut the clamp body upon rotation of the threaded rod.

Motor housing for a sliding compound miter saw

Instead of wrapping the air hose around the portable tire inflator housing to store it, an internal storage compartment is provided. A guide device in the compartment guides the hose so that it travels a path which is offset downward from a straight line path between its attachment to the compressor of the inflator and the opening in the compartment top wall. This path reduces pulling stresses on the attachment, assists in manual incremental feed of the hose back into a concealed storage position, and prevents the hose from bunching up into upper corners of the compartment. When in its storage position only the air chuck at the end of the hose is exposed.

Support arm for a sliding compound miter saw

A saw shoe is provided for use on a hand-held circular saw which has a saw blade for cutting a workpiece. The saw blade has an identified direction of travel. The shoe rides upon a top surface of the workpiece. The shoe has a base with an aperture extending therethrough which accommodates the saw blade. The base further has a top surface and a generally planar bottom surface. The base has a first edge which is located forwardly of the saw blade with respect to the direction of travel of the saw blade, and a second edge opposite said first edge. A pair of opposing side edges extend between the first and second edges. The base further has an opening extending therethrough from the top surface of the base to the bottom surface. The opening is located adjacent to the first edge and at least a portion of the opening is in co-linear relation to the direction of travel of the saw blade so that the user of the saw can view the workpiece through the opening.
