Abstract
This specification discloses a mechanism that alters the cutting angle of a motorized miter saw. The cutting angle is altered by a mechanism that deploys a member from underneath the cutting material resting surface to above the cutting material resting surface. When deployed above the cutting material resting surface, the angle between the blade and cutting material is altered.
Claims13
A power saw comprising:
- a motor,
- a motor housing,
- a blade driven by said motor,
- a substantially circular resting surface for supporting a cutting material wherein said motor, said motor housing, and said blade are disposed above said resting surface, said resting surface including an elongated slot for passing the blade therethrough,
- at least one elongated opening disposed substantially parallel and adjacent said elongated slot on said resting surface,
- at least one offset being positionable through said at least one elongated opening wherein said at least one offset is adjustable from a non-operating position wherein said at least one offset is disposed below said resting surface to an operating position wherein said at least one offset is extending above said resting surface to alter an angle between said blade and said cutting material.
