Desk-top circular saw

An ink line aligning apparatus in a desk-top cutter, comprising:

• a holder inclinably supported in a vertical direction relative to an upper surface of a base of a rear portion of a turntable supported rotatably on said base;
• a slide shaft slidable back and forth at an upper end of said holder substantially parallel to the upper surface of said base;
• a hinge provided at a forward end of said slide shaft;
• a motor rotatably supported relative to said base by an upper part of said hinge;
• a fence fixed to an upper surface of said base for supporting a workpiece;
• a saw blade rotated by said motor;
• and
• a guard mounted on a forward end of said holder and movable back and forth thereon and comprising means for fixing said guard in position, said guard being of a material readily cuttable by said saw blade to form a slot for receiving said saw blade as said motor is moved.

A desk-top saw with a saw blade inclining mechanism, comprising;

• a base;
• a turntable rotatably mounted on an upper surface of said base;
• a fence disposed above said turntable for supporting a workpiece on said upper surface of said base;
• a holder supported inclinably relative to an upper surface of said turntable at a rear end thereof;
• a slide shaft slidable back and forth at an upper end of said holder substantially parallel to said upper surface of the base;
• a hinge provided at a forward end of said slide shaft;
• a motor and a circular saw blade driven by said motor about an axis, a saw cover covering an upper half of said saw blade, said motor being rotatably supported vertically at an upper end of said hinge;
• a safety cover provided in said saw cover and rotatable around a support provided at a rear portion of said saw cover for guarding a lower half of said saw blade;
• and
• a subcover rotatably supported on said axis of said saw blade at a forward portion of said safety cover and rotatable under its own weight, said subcover covering a forward portion of said saw blade.

A device for guiding a cut piece of wood immediately after the cutting thereof in a desk-top circular saw apparatus, comprising:

• a base;
• a fence fixed to said base for supporting a workpiece;
• a holder supported alternately fixably and rotatably around a support with a rotation axis substantially flush with an upper surface of said base at an end of said base opposite an operator of said device;
• a gear casing rotatably supported by said holder;
• a motor and a rotatable circular saw blade driven by said motor mounted on said gear casing, said saw blade being rotatable downwardly to cut a workpiece;
• and
• a guiding member having an edge surface inclined to a principal surface of said saw blade for guiding said cut wood piece, said guiding member being fixed on said holder at a position through which said saw blade passes as said gear casing is moved.

A desk-top cutter with a saw blade inclining mechanism, comprising;

• a base;
• a turntable rotatably mounted on an upper surface of said base;
• a fence disposed above said turntable for supporting a workpiece on an upper surface of said base;
• a holder inclinably supported relative to an upper surface of said turntable at a rear end thereof;
• a slide shaft slidable back and forth at an upper end of said holder substantially parallel to said upper surface of the base;
• a hinge provided at a forward end of said slide shaft;
• a motor and a saw blade driven by said motor, said motor being rotatably supported vertically at an upper end of said hinge;
• said hinge having an arcuate protrusion;
• said motor having a screw threadedly engaged therewith;
• said screw having means for fixing said screw;
• and
• a lower limit position of said motor being restricted by abutment of said screw against said arcuate protrusion of said hinge.
