Abstract
This specification discloses a mechanism that alters the cutting angle of a motorized miter saw. The cutting angle is altered by a mechanism that deploys a member from within or behind the fence to a position in front of the fence parallel to the blade and partially within a cavity/opening in the material resting surface. When deployed in front of the fence, the angle between the blade and cutting material is altered.

1) A power saw comprising:
- a motor,
- a motor housing,
- a blade driven by said motor,
- a resting surface for supporting a cutting material wherein said motor, said motor housing, and said blade are disposed above said resting surface, said resting surface including an elongated slot for passing the blade therethrough,
- a fence for further positioning said cutting material,
- at least one cavity or at least one opening in said resting surface disposed in the proximity of said elongated slot,
- at least one elongated member being positionable from a non-operating position deposed within or behind said fence to an operating position wherein said at least one elongated member is disposed substantially parallel to said elongated slot and partially in said at least one cavity or partially in said at least one opening such that a portion of said at least one elongated member extends above said resting surface to alter an angle between said blade and said cutting material.
