Abstract
A circular saw (100) including a housing (102) and a motor (120) disposed within the housing. The circular saw also includes a blade removably coupled with the driveshaft (122) of the motor and operable to rotate therewith and a bottom plate (140) rotatably coupled to the housing. The bottom plate defines a zero plane (164) in which the blade is orthogonal to the bottom plate. The bottom plate rotates in a first direction from the zero plane and in a second direction from the zero plane opposite the first direction.
Claims20
A circular saw comprising:
- a housing;
- a motor disposed within the housing, the motor having a driveshaft;
- a blade removably coupled with the driveshaft of the motor and operable to rotate therewith;
- and
- a bottom plate rotatably coupled to the housing, the bottom plate defining a zero plane in which the blade is orthogonal to the bottom plate, and the bottom plate is rotatable in a first direction from the zero plane and in a second direction from the zero plane opposite the first direction.
A circular saw comprising:
- a housing;
- a motor disposed within the housing, the motor having a driveshaft;
- a blade removably coupled with the driveshaft of the motor and operable to rotate therewith;
- a support bracket extending from the housing, the support bracket including a stabilizer tab;
- and
- a bottom plate rotatably coupled to the support bracket, the bottom plate including a compressible pad configured to engage the support tab when the bottom plate is aligned along a zero plane in which the blade is perpendicular to the bottom plate.
The circular saw of claim 20, wherein a top surface of the compressible pad is flush with an upper surface of the bottom plate when the compressible pad is installed within the indentation of the bottom plate.
