Abstract
A tool member mounted in adjacency to a band saw table, including a pivot plate pivotally mounted to an underlying support mounting a pivot head leg at a forward end of the pivot plate, wherein the pivot head leg is arranged for securement to a workpiece to direct the workpiece in a cooperative relationship with an associated band saw blade to effect a radius cut of the workpiece.
Claims4
A brand saw radius tool apparatus, comprising,
- a saw assembly, having a movably mounted saw blade, and
- a table plate receiving the saw blade, the table plate including a frame leg positioned below the table plate, and a mounting plate adjustably mounted relative to the frame leg, and
- the mounting plate including a mounting plate upper end and the mounting plate upper end including a position plate orthogonally and fixedly mounted to the mounting plate upper end defining an "L" shaped configuration of the mounting plate and the position plate, the position plate including a position plate top wall coplanar with a table plate top surface, and
- a slide bar slidably mounted within the position plate orthogonally oriented relative to the mounting plate, and
- the slide bar having a slide bar top surface, and
- a pivot plate pivotally mounted to the slide bar top surface, the pivot plate having a pivot plate head leg orthogonally mounted to the pivot plate over the table plate to secure a workpiece to the pivot plate head leg relative to the saw blade, and
- the mounting plate includes a plurality of parallel slots directed therethrough, and a plurality of fastener rods directed fixedly from the frame leg, with one of the fastener rods extending through one of the parallel slots, and each of the fastener rods includes a fastener plate, wherein each fastener plate positions the mounting plate between the respective fastener plate and the frame leg permitting loosening of the fastener plates and sliding of the mounting plate along the parallel slots relative to the fastener rods, and
- a position plate top wall and a slide bar top surface are coplanar, and the position plate including a position plate groove, with the slide bar received within the position plate groove, and the pivot plate having pivot plate side walls, and a clamp bracket secured to the pivot plate side walls, and the clamp bracket including a clamp bracket rod fixedly and orthogonally mounted to the clamp bracket and orthogonally mounted relative to the slide bar top surface and extending into the slide bar from the slide bar top surface permitting pivoting of the pivot plate relative to the slide bar, and the pivot plate head leg including a matrix of projections extending therefrom to engage in said workpiece.
