Abstract
An advancing power saw used for any metal cutting application. The power saw is provided with an oscillating mechanism that drives the saw up and down in a vertical direction. A hydraulic cylinder advances the saw toward the metal being cut while the saw is oscillating creating a circular pathway for the saw blade during the cutting operation. A balancing apparatus is provided in association with the saw blade that advances in an opposite direction to that of the saw blade to act as a counterbalance for the saw. The balancing apparatus has a weight provided at one end which dampens the vibrations created by the saw during the cutting operation and substantially equalizes pressure on the saw blade.
Claims8
