Abstract
Abstract A combination table and miter saw is provided which has a slotted strip attached directly to a rotatable work supporting base plate. The slotted strip is part circular and forms a bearing connection for a saw assembly which accommodates pivoting of the saw assembly about an axis through a working surface of the bottom of the base plate. A threaded adjusting spindle for locking the saw in position during table sawing is connected to a bearing block which also is attached to the slotted strip.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
188 words
Combination table and miter saw arrangement comprising a frame, a base plate, means for mounting the base plate for rotation with respect to the frame between a table saw position through a predetermined angle to a miter saw position and having a circular aperture therein, a rotatable round table seated in the aperture of the base plate and having a slot, a motor driven saw assembly with a saw blade, said saw assembly being pivotally mounted at the edge on one side of the round table with said blade being insertable into the slot for making mitering cuts and positioned within the slot for table sawing, means mounting the saw assembly for pivotal movement about a first pivot axis for making mitering and cross cuts, a block means included in the pivotal mounting of the saw assembly and being fixed to the round table, said block means comprising means for rotating the saw assembly about a second axis perpendicular with respect to said first axis, a threaded spindle interconnected between the saw assembly and the block means to serve as an adjustable locking device for the saw assembly.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
188 words
Combination table and miter saw arrangement comprising a frame, a base plate, means for mounting the base plate for rotation with respect to the frame between a table saw position through a predetermined angle to a miter saw position and having a circular aperture therein, a rotatable round table seated in the aperture of the base plate and having a slot, a motor driven saw assembly with a saw blade, said saw assembly being pivotally mounted at the edge on one side of the round table with said blade being insertable into the slot for making mitering cuts and positioned within the slot for table sawing, means mounting the saw assembly for pivotal movement about a first pivot axis for making mitering and cross cuts, a block means included in the pivotal mounting of the saw assembly and being fixed to the round table, said block means comprising means for rotating the saw assembly about a second axis perpendicular with respect to said first axis, a threaded spindle interconnected between the saw assembly and the block means to serve as an adjustable locking device for the saw assembly.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
An arrangement according to claim 1 wherein said round table has working surfaces at both sides, and wherein said midpoint of a slotted guide having a slot is at the working surface on the side of the base plate facing away from the saw assembly.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
An arrangement according to claim 1, wherein said threaded spindle has a first end fixably connected to one of its bearing points and is removably mounted at the other of its bearing points.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
An arrangement according to claim 1, wherein said base plate with respect to the base plate is rotatable through a predetermined angle of substantially 180°.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
An arrangement according to claim 2, wherein the block means comprises a bearing fork, projecting rearward on the side of said second pivot axis coincident with the slot and lies in the working surface of the round table which is opposite the saw assembly.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
An arrangement according to claim 5 wherein the bearing fork is made integral with the block means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
57 words
An arrangement according to claim 1 wherein all parts of the saw assembly, including the drive motor, are so designed and dimensioned that even when the saw blade is at an angle to the plane which runs vertically with respect to the round table through the slot, the round table can be rotated through a predetermined angle.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
41 words
An arrangement according to claim 5, wherein the blade means comprises an arcuate slotted guide mounted to the round table, and means disposed in the arcuate slotted guide mounting the saw assembly for angularly positioning the saw assembly for bevel cuts.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
