Power tool with drop arm orbit bracket

Abstract

A power tool assembly includes a drop arm assembly including a drop arm frame and an arbor shaft configured to support a shaping device at least partially above a workpiece support surface, the drop arm assembly configured to move within a drop plane to drop the shaping device completely beneath the workpiece support surface, a belt operably connected to the arbor shaft and configured to rotate the arbor shaft through a slave pulley, the slave pulley having a slave pulley axis of rotation, a motor including a power shaft operably connected to the belt through a motor end pulley, the motor end pulley having a motor end pulley axis of rotation, and an orbit bracket configured to orbitally support the drop arm assembly, the orbit bracket defining a drop arm orbit axis located between the motor end pulley axis of rotation and the slave pulley axis of rotation.
