Abstract
A rotatable multi-tool power saw apparatus may comprise a rotatable cutting head with a base plate. A rotating plate assembly may be rotatably mounted to the base plate and may be configured to position a cutting blade or other tools at multiple angular orientations. Left and right extension arms may extend from the base plate. A cutting blade may receive motive force from a motorized tool and rotate about the cutting head to contact a workpiece. A tool clamp mechanism may mount to the rotatable cutting head and may include a hinged clamp to secure the cutting head to the motorized tool. One or more handles may mount to the apparatus for user control.
Claims20
A rotatable multi-tool power saw apparatus comprising:
- a rotatable cutting head comprising:
- a base plate,
- a rotating plate assembly rotatably mounted to the base plate, the rotating plate assembly configured to rotate to position a cutting blade and other cutting tools at different angular orientations,
- a left extension arm and a right extension arm extending from the base plate, and
- a cutting blade configured to receive motive force from a motorized tool to cause the cutting blade to rotate about the cutting head to operatively contact a workpiece;
- a tool clamp mechanism mounted to the rotatable cutting head, the tool clamp mechanism comprising a hinged clamp configured to secure the cutting head to the motorized tool;
- and
- one or more handles mounted to the apparatus for user control during operation.
A method of operating a rotatable multi-tool power saw apparatus comprising:
- mounting a motorized tool to a tool clamp mechanism, the tool clamp mechanism being mounted to a rotatable cutting head comprising a rotating plate assembly;
- securing a cutting blade to the motorized tool;
- grasping one or more handles mounted to the apparatus;
- applying force to the rotating plate assembly to rotate the rotating plate assembly to position the cutting blade at a desired angular orientation relative to a workpiece;
- activating the motorized tool to cause the cutting blade to rotate;
- and
- contacting the workpiece with the rotating cutting blade to perform a cutting operation.
A rotatable multi-tool power saw apparatus comprising:
- a base plate;
- a rotating plate assembly rotatably mounted to the base plate and configured to rotate about a central axis;
- a left extension arm and a right extension arm extending laterally from the base plate;
- a tool clamp mechanism mounted to the rotating plate assembly, the tool clamp mechanism comprising:
- a hinged clamp structure configured to secure a motorized cutting tool,
- wherein the tool clamp mechanism rotates with the rotating plate assembly to position the motorized cutting tool at different angular orientations,
- a cutting blade operatively coupled to the motorized cutting tool and configured to perform cutting operations on a workpiece;
- a tension mechanism operatively connected to the cutting blade, the tension mechanism comprising:
- a tension arm,
- at least one tension spring coupled to the tension arm, and
- a cam mechanism comprising an off-center pin, wherein rotation of the cam mechanism adjusts tension applied to the cutting blade;
- end bearings positioned at terminal ends of the left extension arm and the right extension arm, the end bearings comprising rubber coating;
- and
- at least one handle mounted to the apparatus for user manipulation during operation.
