Abstract:
A saw comprising:a frame;a table occupying a plane and pivotally mounted to said frame so that the table is pivotable between two positions thereon;a pivot block mounted on one side of said table;a pivot support pivotally mounted to said pivot block about a first axis parallel with the plane of said table;a saw assembly mounted to said pivot support;wherein said saw assembly is either above or below said table depending on which of said two positions said table is in;a saw blade occupying a plane substantially perpendicular to the plane of said table;wherein the plane of said saw blade is generally vertical and the plane of said table is generally horizontal;a gearing mechanism between said pivot block and pivot support to indicate pivotal relationship between said pivot support and said pivot block about the first axis;a pointer coupled to said gearing mechanism;wherein pivotal movement of said pivot support to said pivot block effects a vertical angle of said saw blade to said table; andwhereby said pointer indicates the vertical angle of said saw blade to said table.
