Abstract
An accessory for a table saw comprises a plate having rollers thereon received in the parallel grooves of a conventional table saw. The rollers rotate about a vertical axis and act to guide the plate toward and away from the circular saw. A work piece is placed on the plate at a desired angle by an adjustable fence so that consistent, repetitive cuts in the work piece may be achieved.
Claims11
An accessory for use in combination with a stationary saw table having a generally horizontal upper surface providing at least two parallel grooves and a circular saw blade projecting upward through the horizontal surface parallel to the grooves, comprising
- a plate having upper and lower surfaces, an elongate blade receiving slot through which the saw blade is extendible and a support receiving opening;
- means carried by the plate and mounting the plate for movement on the table parallel to the saw blade, including
- at least a pair of rollers parallel to the blade receiving slot and means mounting each the rollers for rotary movement about a vertical axis and comprising a support having an upper end received in an opening of the plate and providing a screw thread, a lower end projecting below the plate for receipt in the table groove and having a polygonal stud thereon, a lip between the upper and lower ends, a threaded fastener received on the upper end screw thread for rigidly captivating the support on the plate, the roller being rotatable on the lower end;
- and
- means preventing rotation of the support comprising a link received on each of the studs;
- and
- a work rail, on the upper surface of the plate, comprising a shoulder against which a work piece abuts, the work piece being extendible across the saw blade receiving slot.
An accessory for use in combination with a stationary saw table having a generally horizontal upper surface providing at least two parallel grooves and a circular saw blade projecting upward through the horizontal surface parallel to the grooves, comprising
- a plate having upper and lower surfaces, an elongate blade receiving slot through which the saw blade is extendible and a rectilinear support receiving opening;
- means carried by the plate and mounting the plate for movement on the table parallel to the saw blade, including
- at least a pair of parallel rollers and means mounting the rollers for rotary movement about a vertical axis and comprising a support having an upper polygonal end received in the rectilinear opening of the plate and providing a screw thread, a lower end projecting below the plate for receipt in the table groove, a lip between the upper and lower ends, a threaded fastener received on the upper end screw thread for rigidly captivating the support on the plate, the roller being rotatable on the lower end;
- and
- means preventing rotation of the support comprising the relationship between the rectilinear plate opening and the polygonal upper support end;
- and
- a work rail, on the upper surface of the plate, comprising a shoulder against which a work piece abuts, the work piece being extendible across the saw blade receiving slot.
