Mechanism for use in a power tool and a power tool including such a mechanism

A mechanism for use in a power tool, which mechanism comprises an input shaft rotatable about a first axis and an output shaft rotatable about a second axis, wherein the first axis and the second axis lie in the same plane or in parallel planes, yet the relative orientation of the first axis to the second axis is adjustable within the said same plane or parallel planes;

• the mechanism arranged to transmit rotational drive from the input shaft to the output shaft regardless of the orientation of the first axis relative to the second axis, the mechanism including a faceplate gear arranged between the input shaft and the output shaft;
• the faceplate gear co-operable with the input shaft and the output shaft thereby to transmit rotary drive from the input shaft to the output shaft;
• and the faceplate gear arranged to lie in a plane which is parallel with the plane in which the first axis and the second axis lie;
• and wherein either or both of the input shaft and the output shaft are moveable about the faceplate gear to allow adjustment of the relative orientation of the first axis and the second axis.
