Miter saw and workpiece support therefor

A workpiece support for a miter saw, the workpiece support suitable for rotatably mounting on a saw stand and for co-rotating fastening of a saw unit thereto, the saw unit having a saw blade lowerable from a position above the workpiece support to a working position, the workpiece support comprising:

• a circular disc-shaped turntable being penetrated by a saw blade slot serving as a passage for the saw blade lowered into the working position, the circular disc-shaped turntable having on one side a holder for fastening the sawing unit, a radial arm extending from the circular disc-shaped turntable and extending the saw blade slot radially outwards on a side opposite the holder in a longitudinal direction of the saw blade slot, wherein a radial arm connection is provided, on which a radially outer radial arm outer portion of the radial arm is detachably attached to a radially inner radial arm inner portion of the radial arm integrally formed with the circular disc-shaped turntable, wherein:
• the radial arm connection is formed as a dovetail connection of the radial arm outer portion with the radial arm inner portion,
• the dovetail connection has on both sides of the saw blade slot one insertion pin formed as a dovetail projection and an associated insertion receptacle formed as a dovetail receptacle, and
• a locking device is provided that detachably locks the radial arm connection, which locking device has a transverse bolt pushed into a bolt receptacle in a direction transverse to the saw blade slot, wherein the bolt inserted into the bolt receptacle reaches through a side wall of the radial arm at least as far as to one of the two inserted insertion pins, but only through one of the inserted insertion pins, such that the saw blade slot arranged laterally adjacent thereto remains free for passage of the saw blade.
