Abstract
Abstract A saw comprising a base plate 1 (FIG. 1), a disc 7 rotatably mounted on the base plate; clamping means disposed over the disc 7 and comprising forward elements 3, 3a and a backstop element composed of arms 18a, 18b (FIG. 2), and the arcuate member 19 joining the said arms, said clamping means being disposed over the disc 7, and a saw assembly 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 pivotally mounted on the machine via pin 11 (FIG. 1). The arcuate member 19 of the backstop is in bearing relation with the mount of the saw assembly adjacent the upper level of the arcuate member 19a, 19b. To accommodate different size workpieces, an auxiliary backstop 28 (FIG. 4) is provided to permit positioning a small workpiece in a more forward position with respect to the path of the saw blade, permitting more effective operation of the saw.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
216 words
In a circular saw machine for cold-sawing metals comprising: a. a base plate, b. a disc for supporting the workpiece and rotatable mounted on the base plate for rotation thereon, c. laterally adjustable clamping means for engaging the forward portion of the workpiece, d. backstop clamping means for engaging the rearward side of the workpiece including a clamping strip disposed on each side of the cutting plane joined together by a rearwardly extending semi-circular arcuate member, secured to the baseplate, e. a saw assembly pivotally mounted on the machine comprising a saw blade and means for driving the saw blade, said mounting being for generally vertical advance of the saw blade relative to the disc for cutting of the workpiece, the improvement which comprises: f. the arcuate member of the backstop having a rearwardly disposed, bearing surface which is cylindrical with respect to the axis of the disc disposed adjacent the upper level of the arcuate member, g. said disc comprising a saw assembly mount disposed to the rear and outwardly of said backstop arcuate member, for said pivot mounting of the saw assembly on the machine, h. said saw assembly mount comprising bearing means for complementary bearing engagement with the bearing surface of the arcuate member adjacent the plane of cutting of the saw blade.
