Abstract
A power actuated miter saw has an adjustable rotatable mounting with respect to an elongated work holder so that the saw can be set in any one of a number of angular positions for the cut. The saw is lowered by a forward facing handle adjacent to which is a circular scale showing the angle. Mutually rotating parts have a 360.degree. bearing ring between them near the perimeter to provide abundant stability and also seal the movable members to keep them free of dust. A sawdust discharge travels with the saw blade to collect and discharge sawdust generated by the operation in a direction away from the operator. The saw blade is guarded while at rest as well as during a cutting operation on the work.
Claims12
In a power operated miter saw comprising a stationary frame, a horizontal work table on said frame having a miter station intermediate opposite ends, a saw positioning turntable structure having a pivotal mounting on said frame on a vertical axis at said miter station, a saw platform having a tiltable mounting on said positioning structure on a horizontal axis and a manual actuator for said platform accessible from the front of the frame, the combination of
- a reference plate having a stationary mounting on said frame concentric with said miter station and having a circular perimetrical edge spanning the work table and with an angle measurement scale extending over part of said perimetrical edge, said positioning structure comprising a work supporting plate overlying said reference plate, an indexing structure underlying said reference plate and a releasable trigger cooperable respectively with said indexing structure and said scale for setting the angle of said saw platform, and an annular bearing element between said plates adjacent the perimeters.
