Abstract
A work table and hold-down assembly for adapting a power hand saw such as a saber saw or jig saw for bench use. The assembly includes a work table which is clamped to the base of the saw, the work table having an opening through which the saw blade passes. A work hold-down member is held in adjustably spaced relation to the work table by a clamping swivel stem rotatably mounted in the opening of the work table, thereby permitting the work-holding member to be moved laterally with respect to the work. A safety shield carried by the work-holding member is in spaced, surrounding relation to the saw blade.
Claims8
In combination with a power hand saw having a housing, a reciprocating saw blade mounted in the housing and a base supported by the housing, a work table and hold-down assembly for adapting the saw for bench use, said assembly including
- (a) a work table having an opening therein through which said saw blade passes,
- (b) a first means for securing said work table to the hand saw base,
- (c) a work hold-down member, and
- (d) a second means engaged with said work hold-down member and said work table for holding the former in spaced relation to the latter,
- (e) said second means being swivelly mounted on said work table in surrounding relation to the saw blade, whereby said second means and said hold-down member engaged therewith may be swivelled around the saw blade to move the same out of the path of the work during the sawing operation.
In combination with a power hand saw having a housing having a handle portion, a reciprocating saw blade mounted in the housing and a base supported by the housing, a work table and hold-down assembly for adapting the saw for bench use, said assembly including:
- (a) a work table,
- (b) said work table including a flat rigid member having a counter-bored opening through which the saw blade passes,
- (c) said flat rigid member having a plurality of struck portions providing detents engageable with opposed edges of said rigid member,
- (d) clamps carried by said rigid member detachably engaged with said saw base,
- (e) a disk member comprising disk portions of different diameters positioned in the counter-bored opening of said work table.
- (f) said disk member having an opening through which said saw blade passes,
- (g) a clamping stem eccentrically affixed to one face of said disk member,
- (h) a work hold-down member detachably engaged with said clamping stem,
- (i) said work hold-down member including a pair of opposed, spaced block portions joined by a connecting web,
- (j) said clamping stem being inserted between said opposed, spaced block portions, and
- (k) means for holding said work member in engagement with said clamping stem.
