Power tool control system

A table saw, comprising:

• a. a frame coupled with a table, said table having an aperture;
• b. a trunion moveably and operatively connected to said frame, said trunion supporting a blade and drive assembly, said blade capable of being operatively extended from said table aperture, said blade being operatively tilted in at least one axis tangent to said table;
• c. a fence moveably coupled with said table and generally moveable parallel to said blade;
• d. a non-contact measurement and alignment device operative with said table saw, the non-contact measurement and alignment device for determining at least two of a table saw setting:
• (i) blade height, (ii) blade angle, and (iii) fence to blade distance;
• and
• e. a graphical-user-interface communicatively coupled with the non-contact measurement and alignment device, the graphical-user-interface for user operation of said table saw for indicating at least two of a table saw setting:
• (i) blade height, (ii) blade angle, and (iii) fence to blade distance.

A bevel angle indication assembly for a table saw with a saw blade coupled with a beveling assembly, comprising:

• a non-contact measurement and alignment device for determining at least two of a table saw setting;
• a graphical user interface communicatively coupled with the non-contact measurement and alignment device, the graphical user interface for user operation of said table saw for indicating a saw blade bevel setting;
• and
• a display menu which logically relates folders providing table saw setting options and readouts of current settings.

A saw blade height indication assembly for a table saw with a saw blade coupled with a blade height adjustment assembly, comprising:

• a non-contact measurement and alignment device for determining at least two of a table saw setting;
• a graphical user interface communicatively coupled with the non-contact measurement and alignment device, the graphical user interface for user operation of said table saw for indicating a saw blade height setting;
• and
• a display menu which logically relates folders providing table saw setting options and readouts of current settings.

A bit height indication assembly for a router table with a router bit engaged by a router coupled with a height adjustment assembly, comprising:

• a non-contact measurement and alignment device for determining at least two of a router table setting;
• a graphical user interface communicatively coupled with the non-contact measurement and alignment device, the graphical user interface for user operation of said router table for indicating a router bit height setting;
• and
• a display menu which logically relates folders providing router table setting options and readouts of current settings.

A non-contact measurement and alignment device for determining at least two settings for operation of a power tool, comprising:

• a graphical user interface for user operation of said power tool for indicating at least two of a power tool setting;
• a touch screen display communicatively coupled with the graphical user interface, the touch screen display for user operation of said graphical user interface;
• and
• a selector assembly operably disposed upon said touch screen display, the selector assembly for logically relating menus of power tool control options.

A graphical user interface for user operation of a power tool coupled with a non-contact measurement and alignment device, comprising:

• a housing;
• a computing assembly, including a memory coupled with a processor, disposed in the housing, the computing assembly for providing information handling capabilities;
• a computer application stored in the memory and accessed by the processor for determining at least two settings for operation of the power tool;
• a display screen communicatively coupled with the computing assembly and disposed on the housing, the display screen for indicating at least two of a power tool setting;
