Abstract
A compact tile saw which is especially adaptable for cutting of large-sized tiles wherein the table supporting the tile is movable towards the cutting saw, while at the same time the cutting saw is positionable in one of two positions of either being stationary or in moving in unison towards the table supporting the tile to be cut.
Claims17
A compact saw comprising the combination of:
- a frame means having a track member defining a selected plane;
- a cutting means operatively mounted on said track member for one of a selected position, comprising stationary and linearly movable;
- a table member operatively mounted on said track member for linear movement towards and away from said cutting means, and means to coordinate unison of movement of said cutting means, when in said linearly movable position, with movement of said table member, said cutting means and said table member being linearly moveable in said selected plane.
A compact saw comprising the combination of:
- a frame means defining an elongate track;
- a cutting means operatively mounted on said elongate track;
- said elongate track defining a selected plane a table member operatively mounted on said frame means, said cutting means and said table means being moveable in unison towards and away from each other and means adapted to coordinate the unison of movement of said cutting means and said table means along said selected plane.
A compact tile saw or the like comprising the combination of:
- a frame means having opposed, elongate rail members joined at their termini by end bars to thereby form a rectangularly configured frame member having depending legs;
- each of said elongate rail members having interiorly spaced tracks running the extent thereof;
- a saw blade means having an outwardly extending bracket for support of a motorized saw blade and being supported for one of a stationary position and selected movement along said track;
- a table member for retaining a tile to be cut thereon and being supported on said track for movement towards and away from said saw blade means, and a pulley system centrally spaced of and operatively supported from said frame member and means on said saw blade means to operating associate same with said pulley system, and means on said table member to selectively associate said table means with said pulley system whereby said saw blade means may be securely positioned with respect to said frame member and said table means is guided thereto and alternately, selectively positioned relative to said pulley means to allow synchronous, unison movement of said table and said saw blade means towards and away from each other.
