Abstract
An improved electrically powered reciprocating saw that is capable of cutting a workpiece flush with a surface positioned along a raised intersecting perpendicular plane. It also features a new blade actuator that enables the saw blade to be installed on either the left or the right side of the saw. Its new blade and shank assembly has an offset shank that allows the blade to be installed on either the left or the right side of the saw, thus enabling the saw to make cuts beyond the plane of either the left side or the right side of the saw.
Claims3
An electrically powered reciprocating saw comprising:
- a housing;
- an electric motor within said housing;
- a means, also within said housing, by which the rotary motion of said motor is converted to linear motion at an actuator that reciprocates a saw blade in a plane that is horizontal to the plane of the longitudinal centerline of said saw's housing;
- said electric motor may be designed to use either household electric current or batteries as a source of power;
- means by which said reciprocating saw can make any cut on a workpiece that can be made by reciprocating saws of conventional design.
