Abstract

A table saw has a motor driven rotary blade disposed in a blade case and vertically adjustable with respect thereto. During cutting, wood chips are expelled from the blade case even when the rotary blade is vertically disposed away from a bottom of the blade case. An air current, provided by a fan driven by the motor, is blown from a motor gear housing and guided to the blade case via a plurality of guide members. The air current subsequently blows along an inner surface of the blade case in order to blow the wood chips out a chip discharge port.
