Attachable and extendable saw and methods for using same

A vacuum-attachable and extendable saw, comprising:

• a main body;
• a circular saw blade;
• a saw blade housing coupled to the main body by an extendable member, wherein the saw blade housing is internal with the main body, and wherein 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 a saw blade and at least partially covers the circular saw blade, and the extendable member is configured to move the circular 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;
• a vacuum-attachable unit disposed on the main body and comprising at least one contact surface that is switchable between a vacuum state and a non-vacuum state;
• the vacuum-attachable unit further comprising one or more vacuum ports;
• a control system operatively coupled to one or more of the extendable member, the motorized unit, the actuator means, and the attaching means;
• a roller capable of wheeling the main body into position;
• wherein the circular saw blade fits flat against said work surface holding the object to be cut, which object protrudes from the work surface.

A method for cutting an object protruding from a work surface with an attachable and extendable saw, comprising the steps of:

• positioning the extendable saw on or adjacent to the work surface, the extendable saw comprising;
• a main body;
• a circular saw blade:
• a saw blade housing coupled to the main body by an extendable member, wherein the saw blade housing is integral with the main body, and wherein 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 a saw blade and at least partially covers the circular saw blade, and the extendable member is configured to move the circular 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 circular 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, the actuator means, and the attaching means,
• wherein the circular saw blade fits flat against said work surface holding the object to be cut, which object protrudes from the work surface;
• and
• a roller capable of wheeling the main body into position;
• attaching the extendable saw to the work surface by activating the attaching means;
• driving the saw blade via the motorized unit;
• extending the saw blade from the retracted position towards the object protruding from the work surface, wherein the object is disposed between the retracted position and the extended position;
• and
• cutting the object with the saw blade.
