12 to 20 illustrate a tool box 300 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The first box body 310 is provided with a guiding mechanism for forming a positioning plane on the side of the first work surface 314, and a space for accommodating the workpiece 302 is formed between the positioning plane and the first work surface 314. Hereinafter, the power tool will be described by taking a cutting tool 304 including a saw blade 306 and a bottom plate 308 as an example.

The guiding mechanism includes a support member 342 for supporting and fixing the cutting tool 304. The bottom surface of the support member 342 opposite to the first work surface 314 forms a positioning plane, and a space for accommodating the workpiece 302 can be formed between the positioning plane and the first work surface 314.

Further, the support member 342 is adjustably assembled to the first case 310 so that the distance of the aforementioned space for accommodating the workpiece 302 can be adjusted to accommodate the workpiece 302 of different thicknesses. Of course, the support member 342 is a workpiece 302 that can be disposed at a fixed distance from the first work surface 314 to cut a fixed thickness.

Referring to FIG. 12, the support member 342 includes a support portion 344 and a connection portion 346 that is coupled to the support portion 344. The support portion 344 is disposed parallel to the first work surface 314, and the connection portion 346 is movably coupled to the outer sidewall 348 of the first case 310, so that the distance between the positioning plane of the support portion 344 and the first work surface 314 is adjustable. The distance of the aforementioned space can be adjusted.

The connecting portion 346 has a plurality of mounting positions on the outer side wall 348. Wherein, the connecting portion 346 is slidably connected to the outer side wall 348, and the outer side wall 348 is provided with a fixing member 350 passing through the connecting portion 346. The fixture 350 secures the connection portion 346 to the outer sidewall 348 by securing with the outer sidewall 348. When it is necessary to adjust the distance of the support portion 344 relative to the first work surface 314, the fixing member 350 is first loosened to allow the connecting portion 346 to slide up and down, and after being adjusted to a suitable position, the fixing member 350 can be refastened.

The positional adjustment of the support member 342 on the first casing 310 may be vertically movable perpendicular to the first work surface 314. It can also be moved obliquely. In addition, it can be other moving methods, such as moving horizontally first and then moving vertically.

The fixing member 350 may be a fastener such as a screw or a bolt. The fastener 350 can also be other fasteners, such as pins, that utilize the interference fit to position the connection 346. The connecting portion 346 is provided in two places, however the number is not limited.

Referring to FIG. 14, when the tool box 300 serves as a workbench, the first box body 310 and the second box body 320 are both inverted. The support portion 344 of the support member 342 is at a suitable height position, and the cutting tool 304 is placed on the support portion 344. The workpiece 302 is located below the support portion 344.

In order to facilitate the positioning of the cutting tool 304, the manpower is relieved and the operation is easy. A side of the support portion 344 of the support member 344 facing away from the first work surface 314 is further provided with a catch portion 352 that positions the bottom plate 308 of the cutting tool 304. The retaining portion 352 is used to catch the bottom plate 308 so that the cutting tool 304 can be positioned on the support portion 344 without the need for a hand.

The catch portion 352 includes a first set of buckles 3522 and a second set of buckles 3524. The first set of buckles 3522 and the second set of buckles 3524 are respectively disposed in two mutually perpendicular directions to respectively engage with two different side walls of the bottom plate 308 of the cutting tool 304, thereby ensuring the reliability of positioning.

Further, the catching portion 352 may have other configurations. For example, the catch portion 352 can be a card slot that mates with the bottom plate 308 and can be secured directly to the bottom plate 308 or by fasteners. For another example, the retaining portion 352 may also be a side wall having an elastic deformation capability on the support portion 344, and the bottom plate 308 of the cutting tool 304 is effectively positioned by the elastic force. The arrangement is such that the user can fix the bottom plate 308 of the cutting tool 304 to the support portion 344 by using the gravity of the cutting tool 304 or simply pushing the cutting tool 304 a little, and the operation is convenient.

For smooth cutting, the support portion 344 of the support member 342 is also provided with a blade passage 309 through which the saw blade 306 of the cutting tool 304 passes. During the sawing operation, the cutting tool 304 is operated by one hand, causing the saw blade 306 to saw the workpiece 302 downward from the blade channel 309. At this point, only the other hand is required to continuously pull the workpiece 302 forward to complete the sawing.

There may also be no saw blade passages on the support portion 344. At this time, as long as the shape of the support portion 344 allows the saw blade 306 to pass through to cut the workpiece 302.

In the above embodiment, the positioning plane of the support portion 344 of the support member 342 and the first work surface 314 form a space for accommodating the workpiece 302. To complete the cutting, the support portion 344 is provided with a blade channel 309 or no blade channel is provided. In other implementations, the support member 342 is used to secure the bottom plate 308 of the cutting tool 304. When the cutting tool 304 is installed, a space is formed between the bottom plate 308 and the first work surface 314 that can accommodate the workpiece 302. In other words, at this time, the support member 342 only needs to be able to position the bottom plate 308 of the cutting tool 304, and the support member 342 is not required to be provided with the support portion 344 which forms a space for accommodating the workpiece 302 with the first work surface 314.

Referring to Figures 16 through 19, it is illustrated how the support member 342 of the guide mechanism can be utilized to assist in the sawing operation.

When cutting, the first case 310 and the second case 320 are unfolded to provide a longer sized work surface. The workpiece 302 is placed on a work surface formed by the first work surface 314 and the second work surface 324. Referring to Figure 16, the workpiece 302 is clamped by the support member 342 of the guide mechanism. The workpiece 302 is then moved, causing the cutting tool 304 to advance in the desired cutting direction, so that the workpiece 302 can be obliquely cut using the cutting tool 304.

Referring to FIGS. 17 to 19, the workpiece 302 is placed on the first work surface 314, and the length direction coincides with the longitudinal direction of the first casing 310. An abutting surface 354 extending in the width direction of the first casing 310 is formed on the support member 342. The workpiece 302 is stationary, and the side of the bottom plate 308 of the cutting tool 304 abuts against the abutment surface 354 and advances along the abutment surface 354 to effect lateral cutting of the workpiece 302.

In one embodiment, a side of the abutment surface 354 is also provided with a cutting slot 356. The extending direction of the cutting groove 356 is parallel to the abutting surface 354. As the cutting tool 304 advances along the abutment surface 354, the cutting slot 356 can pass the saw blade 306.

However, it should be noted that the cutting groove 356 can also be eliminated. At this time, the abutting surface 354 is disposed adjacent to the edge of the first casing 310 or both. The blade 306 passes outside the first case 310 when it is laterally cut.
