Miter angle stop

A device for setting a miter angle of a machine tool, comprising:

• a clamping block with a slot, wherein the slot includes at least two stop elements that are positioned offset relative to one another at a first end of the slot;
• a pivot lever, wherein the machine tool is mountable on the pivot lever and wherein the pivot lever is pivotable around a pivot point relative to the clamping block between a minimum miter angle and a maximum miter angle;
• and
• a setting mechanism that includes a lever element for selection of the maximum miter angle, wherein the lever element includes a mating stop element that strikes a respective one of the at least two stop elements based on a selected maximum miter angle;
• wherein the at least two stop elements include a first stop element, a second stop element, and a third stop element and wherein the mating stop element respectively strikes each of the first stop element, the second stop element, and the third stop element to set a respective corresponding first miter angle, a second miter angle, and a third miter angle;
• wherein the setting mechanism further includes an indicator and limiting element, wherein the indicator and limiting element includes an indicator scale and an elongated recess, wherein the indicator scale indicates a selectable maximum miter angle, and wherein the elongated recess guides and limits a rotational motion of the mating stop element.
