Miter saw

A miter saw for cutting a workpiece, comprising:

• a) a base;
• b) a workbench;
• c) a stop plate;
• d) a swing arm;
• e) a motor;
• f) a cutting assembly;
• and
• g) an extension platform;
• wherein
• the workbench is rotationally disposed on the base;
• the swing arm is rotationally disposed on a rear of the workbench;
• the stop plate is disposed on a rear of the base;
• the extension platform is disposed on two sides of the base;
• an upper surface of the extension platform and a supporting surface of the base are in a same plane;
• the extension platform is movably connected to the base through a guide rod;
• the extension platform comprises an L-shaped limit block and a recess corresponding to the L-shaped limit block;
• an inner wall of the recess is provided with a lug boss comprising an upper surface and a lower surface;
• the lug boss is fixed on the inner wall of the recess;
• the recess is located at a right angle resulting from the intersection of a lateral surface and the upper surface of the extension platform;
• the L-shaped limit block is disposed on the extension platform via a rotary shaft;
• the rotary shaft of the L-shaped limit block is vertical to the guide rod of the extension rod;
• the L-shaped limit block is rotatable around the rotary shaft in the recess;
• the L-shaped limit block comprises a first plate and a second plate perpendicular to the first plate;
• the L-shaped limit block is adapted for limiting the position of the workpiece;
• the lug boss is disposed between the first plate and the second plate;
• the upper surface and the lower surface of the lug boss are configured to limit turning angles of the L-shaped limit block;
• when the L-shaped limit block is in use for limiting the position of the workpiece, the lower surface of the lug boss abuts against the second plate, and the first plate extends above the upper surface of the extension platform to abut against the workpiece;
• and
• when the L-shaped limit block is not in use for limiting the position of the workpiece, the upper surface of the lug boss abuts against the first plate.
