Abstract
Disclosed herein is a saw slide device that allows a user to easily and accurately move a saw for proper alignment with a cutting material or workpiece. The saw slide device generally includes a sliding plate configured to support an associated saw, an adjustment or alignment mechanism configured to move the sliding plate, and a base frame which supports the sliding plate and adjustment mechanism.

A traversing miter saw table operatively associated with a miter saw and miter saw stand comprising:
- a miter saw mount member, the miter saw mount member including a top surface and a bottom surface, the miter saw mount member adapted to operatively attach and fix an associated miter saw to the top surface, the associated miter saw including a work piece table, a circular saw blade oriented to crosscut a work piece supported by the work piece table;
- and a work piece fence extending along an axis perpendicular to a zero degree crosscut alignment axis of the associated miter saw circular saw blade;
- a saw stand mount member, the saw stand mount member operatively supporting the miter saw mount member and the saw stand mount member adapted to operatively attach and fix the saw stand mount member to at least one associated saw stand rail, the at least one associated saw stand rail extending along a longitudinal axis parallel to the associated miter saw work piece fence and perpendicular to the zero degree crosscut alignment axis of the associated miter saw circular saw blade;
- and
- an operator controlled miter saw alignment mechanism, the operator controlled miter saw alignment mechanism operatively connected to the miter saw mount member and the saw stand mount member, the miter saw alignment mechanism linearly traversing the miter saw mount member from a first location to a second location relative to a fixed location of the saw stand mount member operatively attached and fixed to the at least one associated saw stand rail to laterally align the associated miter saw and circular saw blade along an axis parallel to the at least one associated saw stand rail longitudinal axis.
A traversing miter saw table and miter saw stand combination operatively associated with a miter saw comprising:
- a miter saw stand including a base and at least one saw stand rail including at least one moveable and fixable bracket to attach the adjustable miter saw table;
- and
- the traversing miter saw table including a miter saw mount member, the miter saw mount member including a top surface and a bottom surface, the miter saw mount member adapted to operatively attach and fix an associated miter saw to the top surface, the associated miter saw including a work piece table, a circular saw blade oriented to crosscut a work piece supported by the work piece table;
- and a work piece fence extending along an axis perpendicular to the zero degree crosscut orientation of the associated miter saw circular saw blade;
- a saw stand mount member, the saw stand mount member operatively supporting the miter saw mount member and the saw stand mount member adapted to operatively attach and fix the saw stand mount member to the at least one associated saw stand rail, the at least one associated saw stand rail extending along a longitudinal axis parallel to the associated miter saw work piece fence and perpendicular to a zero degree crosscut alignment axis of the associated miter saw circular saw blade;
- and
- an operator controlled miter saw alignment mechanism, the operator controlled miter saw alignment mechanism operatively connected to the miter saw mount member and the saw stand mount member, the miter saw alignment mechanism linearly traversing the miter saw mount member from a first location to a second location relative to a fixed location of the saw stand mount member operatively attached and fixed to the at least one associated saw stand rail to laterally align the associated miter saw and circular saw blade along an axis parallel to the at least one associated saw stand rail longitudinal axis.
A traversing miter saw table operatively associated with a miter saw and miter saw stand comprising:
- a miter saw mount member, the miter saw mount member including a top surface and a bottom surface, the miter saw mount member adapted to operatively attach and fix an associated miter saw to the top surface, the associated miter saw including a work piece table, a circular saw blade oriented to crosscut a work piece supported by the work piece table;
