Abstract
A cutting tool for cutting sheets of building materials, such as, for example, laminate baseboards, chair rails and crown molding, at an angle. The cutting tool includes a base connected to a cutting platform with a hinge connection. The cutting platform can be set to a range of angles relative to the base by a cutting platform actuator. The cutting platform further includes a blade that can be moved downward on the cutting platform to cut the building material.
Claims15
A cutting tool for cutting a sheet of material, the cutting tool comprising:
- a base including a support surface;
- a cutting platform pivotally connected to the base;
- a cutting platform actuator for setting an angle between the cutting platform and the base;
- a pair of supports extending from the cutting platform;
- an axle rotatably connected to the pair of supports;
- a cam connected to the axle;
- and
- a blade holder with a blade positioned under at least a portion of the cam, where the blade holder and the blade are movable between an open position and a closed position by rotating the cam, wherein the blade moves relative to the base to cut the sheet of material at the angle set by the cutting platform adjuster.
