Power miter saw

A power miter saw comprising:

• a base plate;
• a plurality of short legs mounted atop said base plate;
• a pair of parallel slotted slide rails mounted atop said short legs such that said slots in said pair of slotted slide rails face one another;
• a slide plate mounted in said slots in said parallel slotted slide rails for movement along a linear path of travel above said base plate;
• a vice mounted atop said base for holding elongate material to be cut, said vice lying beneath said linear path of travel of said slide plate so as to be passed over when said slide plate moves along said linear path of travel, said vice including a pair of independent gripping means for gripping elongate objects to be cut and a pair of rules, one of said rules being associated with each of said gripping means and lying parallel to the longitudinal axis of an object gripped by said gripping means;
• a power driven disc-type saw;
• and,
• attachment means for attaching said power driven disc-type saw to said slide plate such that the plane of said disc-type saw of said power driven disc-type saw lies parallel to said linear path of travel of said slide plate, said disc-type saw extending downwardly from said slide plate, said attachment means including alignment means for aligning said disc-type saw between said pair of independent gripping means, said alignment including a plurality of holes and fasteners.
