Abstract
A saber saw assembly includes a vice for clamping an object to be cut and a saber saw having a saw blade to be operated in reciprocating motion. The saber saw is arranged to cut the object with the reciprocating saw blade while the object is clamped by the vice. The vice is in the form of a pipe wrench. The pipe wrench clamps the object when rotated in a clamping direction while releases the object when rotated in a releasing direction opposite to the clamping direction. Accordingly, by using the pipe wrench for the vice, the clamping and releasing operations for the object are simplified to enhance the working efficiency for cutting the object.
Claims8
A saber saw assembly comprising:
- a vice for clamping an object to be cut;
- and
- a saber saw having a saw blade to be operated in reciprocating motion, said saber saw cutting said object with the reciprocating saw blade while said object is clamped by said vice;
- wherein said vice is in the form of a pipe wrench;
- wherein said vice clamps said object when rotated in a clamping direction and releases said object when rotated in a releasing direction;
- and
- wherein said saber saw is coupled to said vice so as to apply a force to said vice in said clamping direction when said saber saw is displaced relative to said vice for cutting said object.
A saber saw assembly comprising:
- a vice for clamping an object to be cut;
- and
- a saber saw having a saw blade to be operated in reciprocating motion, said saber saw cutting said object with the reciprocating saw blade while said object is clamped by said vice;
- wherein said vice is in the form of a pipe wrench;
- wherein said vice includes a fixed base and a member held by said fixed base so as to be adjustable in position relative to said fixed base;
- wherein said fixed base has a first surface and said member has a second surface confronting said first surface, each of said first and second surfaces having a saw-toothed surface for clamping said object therebetween;
- wherein a mounting rod is fixed to said fixed base of the vice so as to extend in an axial direction of said object when said object is clamped between said saw-toothed surfaces and a corresponding mounting groove is provided on said saber saw at a portion other than said saw blade;
- wherein said vice and said saver saw are coupled by inserting said mounting rod into said mounting groove;
- and
- wherein locking means is pivotally provided at said mounting groove for biasing said mounting rod received in said mounting groove so as to prevent said mounting rod from disengaging from said mounting groove.
