Abstract
A motor operated circular miter chop saw is pivotally mounted on a generally horizontal axle pivot bolt about which it rotates in a vertical plane with the axle pivot bolt being carried by a cast support base structure. Angular orientation of the work-piece is provided by an angularly adjustable fence rotatably carried by the cast base support structure. Clamping means are also provided selectively mountable with the cast support base to provide hold-in clamping action for holding a work-piece against the fence or mountable with the fence to provide hold-down clamping action for holding a work-piece against the cast support base.
