Abstract:
1. A miter saw having a scale magnifier for measuring the bevel tilt of a tiltable mounted power tool, comprising: a stationary portion having a front and a back; a rotatable table disposed on the stationary portion; a tiltable portion upon which is mounted a power tool, the tiltable portion being mounted on the rotatable table adjacent to the back of the stationary portion; and a measurement section for providing a measurement corresponding to a tilt of the tiltable portion with respect to an axis in which the measurement of the tilt is scalable with respect to an amount of the tilt, the measurement section including a first gear wherein a rotation of the first gear is determined by a tilt of the power tool, a second sear driven by the first gear on a long shaft that extends from the back of the stationary portion to the front of the stationary portion, a third gear at the end of the long shaft proximate the front of the stationary portion, and a fourth gear on a bevel scale axis shaft driven by the third gear.
