Abstract
An attachable and extendable saw and methods for cutting objects with the attachable and extendable saw are provided. The attachable and extendable saw can include a blade housing coupled to a main body. The blade housing at least partially covers a saw blade and the extendable member can be configured to move the saw blade with or without the blade housing between a retracted position and an extended position relative to the main body. The extendable saw can also include means to drive the saw blade, means to drive the extendable member, and means for attaching the attachable and extendable saw to the objects to be cut.
Claims14
A method for using an attachable and extendable saw comprising the steps of:
- positioning the attachable and extendable saw on or adjacent to a work surface, the attachable and extendable saw comprising:
- a main body;
- a saw blade;
- a saw blade housing coupled to the main body by an extendable member,
- wherein the saw blade housing comprises an upper portion and a side portion providing for a cutting window,
- where the saw blade housing sits flat against a work surface and in a parallel plane to the work surface which holds an object to be cut by the saw blade,
- a saw blade guard that partially or completely covers the saw blade within the cutting window;
- wherein the saw blade guard extends and retracts about the object to be cut by the saw blade;
- wherein the extendable member is configured to move the saw blade in a linear direction between a retracted position and an extended position relative to the main body;
- a motorized unit coupled to the saw blade and configured to drive the saw blade by saw blade driving means;
- actuator means coupled to the extendable member and configured to drive the extendable member by extendable member driving means;
- attaching means disposed on the main body for attaching the attachable and extendable saw to the work surface;
- a control system operatively coupled to one or more of the extendable member, the motorized unit, and the attaching means;
- and
- two or more rollers disposed on the saw blade housing,
- wherein the saw blade fits flat against said work surface holding the object to be cut, which object protrudes from the work surface;
- attaching the attachable and extendable saw to the work surface by activating the attaching means;
- driving the saw blade via the saw blade driving means;
- driving the extendable member via extendable member driving means, wherein the saw blade with or without the blade housing is moved from the retracted position to the extended position towards the object to be cut;
- controlling cutting the object with the saw blade with control system means operatively coupled to one or more of the extendable member, the motorized unit, the actuator means, and the attaching means;
- and
- cutting the object with the saw blade.
