Abstract
In a saw table of the type including an elevated track in which the sole plate of a circular saw is engageable, improvements include the provisions of a cross-cut fence which is rotatable about its axis to be movable to a stored, non-obstructing position; the provision of an adjustable miter fence; the provision of a telescopically adjustable track stop to increase the effective cutting length on the table, and the provision of an improved blade guard retractor.
Claims11
In a saw table comprising:
- a bed;
- said bed including an upper generally planar surface, having a forward end and a rearward end opposed thereto defining a longitudinal axial direction therebetween;
- a pair of transversely spaced longitudinally aligned rails extending between said opposed ends;
- means locating adjacent each said end for securing said rails in spaced above relation to said bed surface;
- said rails being adapted to mount a circular saw by the sole plate thereof for movement along said rails between the ends of said table;
- a miter fence comprising a pair of arms in a V formation located adjacent the rearward end of said bed and pointing towards said forward end;
- the improvement comprising a cross-cut fence located forwardly of said miter fence;
- said cross-cut fence including a transversely extending first wall, and hinge means mounting said cross-cut fence for rotation about a transverse axis between a first position wherein said first wall is upstanding from said bed surface and a second position wherein said first wall does not protrude above in said bed surface.

- said bed having an upper, generally planar surface for supporting a workpiece to be sawn thereon;
- said bed having a transversely extending slot in said upper surface;
- a transversely extending fence member;
- means mounting said fence member to said bed for rotation about a transverse axis between first and second positions,
