Abstract
A miter saw includes a base assembly configured to at least partially support a workpiece on the miter saw. The miter saw also includes a turntable pivotably coupled to the base assembly about a vertical miter axis in a first rotational direction and a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction. The turntable is also configured to at least partially support the workpiece on the miter saw. The miter saw also includes a constraining device coupled between the base assembly and the turntable. The constraining device is configured to inhibit movement of the turntable relative to the base assembly in a direction different than the first and second rotational directions.
Claims28
A miter saw comprising:
- a base assembly configured to at least partially support a workpiece on the miter saw, the base assembly including a fence subassembly, the fence subassembly having a through aperture, and further having a bore that is parallel with the through aperture formed in a surface of the fence subassembly;
- a turntable pivotably coupled to the base assembly about a vertical miter axis in a first rotational direction and a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction, the turntable having a top surface configured to at least partially support the workpiece on the miter saw;
- and
- a constraining device including a spacer coupled to an adjustment member, the spacer having a body from which a protrusion extends, the adjustment member disposed in the through aperture and having an engagement end that is actuatable, wherein the adjustment member is movable relative to the spacer, and wherein actuation of the engagement end moves the spacer to contact the top surface to inhibit movement of the turntable relative to the base assembly in a direction different than the first and second rotational directions,
- wherein the protrusion is received in the bore.

A miter saw comprising:
- a base assembly including
- a base configured to at least partially support a workpiece on the miter saw, and
- a fence subassembly coupled to the base, the fence subassembly having a through aperture, and a bore that is parallel with the through aperture formed in a surface of the fence subassembly;
- a turntable pivotably coupled to the base about a vertical miter axis in a first rotational direction and a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction, the turntable having a top surface configured to at least partially support the workpiece on the miter saw;
