CIRCULAR SAW WITH A BLADE MOUNT FOR CIRCULAR SAW BLADES AND METHOD OF ATTACHING A CIRCULAR SAW BLADE TO A CIRCULAR SAW

摘要

Circular saws (10) that include blade mounts (108) for circular saw (10) blades and methods of attaching circular saw (10) blades to circular saws (10) are disclosed herein. The circular saws (10) include a motor (90), an arbor (100), and a blade mount (108). The motor (90) includes a motor shaft (92) configured to rotate about a shaft rotational axis. The arbor (100) is configured to receive a torque from the motor (90) when the motor shaft (92) rotates about the shaft rotational axis. The blade mount (108) is operatively attached to the arbor (100) and is configured to selectively and operatively attach a circular saw blade (200) to the arbor (100). The blade mount (108) includes an inner flange (112) that includes an inner flange (112) blade-contacting surface that faces away from the motor (90). The inner flange (112) is free from any structure that projects away from the motor (90) and also away from the inner flange (112) blade-contacting surface.
