Abstract
To provide a directional guiding mechanism for saber type and blade control in tools, having a motor, a manipulating handle and a reciprocating shaft in a housing, to which shaft a saw blade, etc., is attached. One concept of the invention is achieved by the use of a unique control mechanism including a rotatable flexible cable by which to rotate the reciprocating saw blade in the cut, in any desired direction, with less movement or turning of the main body of the tool especially in a restricted or cramped area. These operations can be accomplished with the use of but one hand of the operator, leaving the other hand free to hold firm the material to be cut or worked upon.
