Power Tool Accessories for Cutting Elongated Members

A power tool accessory for cutting elongated members comprising:

• a housing having a rear end portion and a front end portion;
• an input shaft at least partially received in the rear end portion, extending along an axis, and configured to be coupled to a tool holder of a rotary power tool;
• an at least partially threaded shaft received in the housing and rotationally driven by the input shaft;
• a blade holder that moves axially upon rotation of the at least partially threaded shaft;
• a cutting blade configured to be retained by the blade holder;
• and
• a workpiece holder coupled to the front end portion of the housing and configured to receive an elongated member,
• wherein rotation of the input shaft in a first rotational direction causes the blade to move axially in a first axial direction at least partially into the workpiece holder to cut the elongated member, and
• wherein rotation of the input shaft in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction causes the blade to move axially in a second axial direction opposite the first axial direction to be at least partially retracted into the housing.
