Abstract
Table saws and table saws designed to incorporate safety systems are disclosed. The table saws may include vertical slide elevation mechanisms positioned toward the rear of the saw and constructed so that an arbor block and blade can retract when a safety system detects an unsafe condition. Other table saw parts and components are also disclosed.
Claims13
A table saw comprising:
- a table to support a workpiece;
- a blade extending at least partially through the table to cut a workpiece on the table;
- and
- an elevation mechanism configured to adjust the height of the blade relative to the table, where the elevation mechanism includes an elevation carriage and two spaced-apart shafts behind the blade, where each shaft has a non-threaded section, and where the elevation carriage is adapted to move up and down on the non-threaded sections of the shafts.

A table saw comprising:
- a table to support a workpiece;
- a blade extending at least partially through the table to cut a workpiece on the table;
- an elevation mechanism configured to adjust the height of the blade relative to the table, where the elevation mechanism includes two spaced-apart shafts behind the blade and an elevation carriage adapted to move on the shafts,
- where the two spaced-apart shafts are positioned so that one shaft is to one side of the blade and the other shaft is to the other side of the blade.
