The term "configuration" refers to the design or setup of a machine, specifically whether it is benchtop, pedestal, or portable style.

Benchtop Configuration: Machines with a benchtop configuration are designed to be placed on a workbench or tabletop. These machines are typically compact and ideal for smaller workspaces or projects.

Pedestal Configuration: Machines with a pedestal configuration are mounted on a sturdy pedestal or stand. This configuration provides stability and may offer additional height and accessibility for certain applications.

Portable Configuration: Machines with a portable configuration are designed to be easily transported and used in various locations. These machines are lightweight and often feature handles or carrying cases for convenient portability.

Understanding the configuration of a machine is important as it determines how it will fit into your workspace and how you will interact with it during operation.

Any source of power which provides the energy required to drive a piece of machinery or equipment and includes, but is not limited to: electrical, steam, hydraulic, water, air, mechanical, radiation, and thermal forms of energy.

Output power means the maximum power that the motor puts out under ideal conditions.

A rack and pinion is a type of linear actuator that comprises a circular gear (the pinion) engaging a linear gear (the rack).

Easily change the speed without stopping the machine the traditional way and moving the belt - instead simply adjsut the speed with the easy adjust handle.

Tool Less Blade Guide System features quick adjusting, spring loaded, ball bearing blade guides for fast and easy setting to the blades.

Lever to ensure quick release of blade tensioning when not in use to help prevent blade stretching and deforming the band saw tyres, which are likely made of rubber or urethane. A stretched blade will cause the operator to increase blade tension to compensate, increasing blade break risk.

De-tensioning your blade will extend the life of your blade.

A mitre gauge is a device used for holding workpieces at a set angle while being cut on table saws, bandsaws or sanded on stationary disc sanders. The mitre gauge slides in a slot on the worktable (known as a mitre slot) on the machine being used.

Safety switches are low-wear and low-maintenance when it comes to safe monitoring of doors or safe position monitoring.

An emergency stop switch is a safety mechanism used to shut off machinery in an emergency, when it cannot be shut down in the usual manner.

An Emergency Stop Mushroom Foot Switch is a type of safety switch used in industrial and commercial settings to quickly and easily shut off power to machinery or other equipment in an emergency situation. It typically has a large, mushroom-shaped button that can be easily activated with the foot, allowing workers to stop equipment quickly without having to reach for a switch or control panel. The switch is often red and has a distinctive shape to make it easily recognizable and to promote quick action in an emergency.

The foot operated brake mechanism is a safety feature on a machine whereby a brake is supplied with the machine. The brake is operated by applying the foot pedal. When the foot pedal is
applied, the power is removed from the motor.

In the case of a bandsaw foot operated brake the flywheel is slowed by the disc break when the power is removed from the motor when the brake is applied by foot.

A no volt release (NVR) switch is valuable safety feature for power tools and machinery. If the power is cut, the unit will default to off, so the machinery will not automatically start again when the power is restored.

Rack and pinions are a mechanical device consisting of a bar (the rack), having teeth on one side that mesh with teeth on a small gear (the pinion) and are used for lifting mechanisms (vertical movement), horizontal movement, positioning mechanisms, stoppers and to permit the synchronous rotation of several shafts in general industrial machinery.

On machine tools, rack and pinion mechanisms are used to obtain rapid movements of worktables.
