Abstract
A miter saw has a base assembly, a table rotatably disposed on the base assembly, a support section rotatably connected to the table, a guide bar fixedly attached to and extending forwardly from the support section, and a saw assembly sliding along the guide bar. The saw assembly is pivotable downwardly for cutting a workpiece disposed on the table. A handle is disposed adjacent to a forward end of the guide bar. The handle is movable between a first position for fixing a rotational position of the support section relative to the table, and a second position for allowing rotational movement of the support section relative to the table.
Claims5
A miter saw comprising:
- a base assembly,
- a table rotatably disposed on the base assembly,
- a support section rotatably connected to the table,
- a guide bar fixedly attached to and extending forwardly from the support section,
- a saw assembly sliding along the guide bar, the saw assembly being pivotable downwardly for cutting a workpiece disposed on the table,
- a handle disposed adjacent to a forward end of the guide bar, the handle being movable between a first position for fixing a rotational position of the support section relative to the table, and a second position for allowing rotational movement of the support section relative to the table,
- a shaft connected to the handle and extending through the guide bar,
- a first bevel gear connected to the shaft,
- a second bevel gear meshing with the first bevel gear,
- a locking shaft extending through a flange fixedly attached to the table, and
- a nut threadingly engaged by the locking shaft.
A miter saw comprising:
- a base assembly,
- a table rotatably disposed on the base assembly,
- a support section rotatably connected to the table,
- a guide bar fixedly attached to and extending forwardly from the support section,
- a saw assembly sliding along the guide bar, the saw assembly being pivotable downwardly for cutting a workpiece disposed on the table,
- a handle disposed adjacent to a forward end of the guide bar, the handle being movable between a first position for fixing a rotational position of the support section relative to the table, and a second position for allowing rotational movement of the support section relative to the table,
- a shaft connected to the handle and extending through the guide bar,
- a gear fixedly attached to the shaft,
- a rack plate meshing with the gear,
- a cam connected to the rack plate,
- a detent plate contacted by the cam,
- wherein the detent plate is movable between a first position contacting an aperture disposed on a plate connected to the table and a second position not contacting the aperture, whereby, rotational movement of the support section relative to the table is allowed when the detent plate is moved to second position.
A miter saw comprising:
- a base assembly,
- a table rotatably disposed on the base assembly,
