Abstract:
A power tool comprising:a base; a movable support arm assembly for holding a tool unit, the support arm having a hub portion rotatably mounted to the base to permit rotation of the support arm relative to the base along an axis; a detent block having a plurality of generally parallel, planar surfaces, and at least one step, each of the steps separating respectively adjacent surfaces at different axial depths relative to each other; a detent pin carried on the base for movement in a direction generally parallel to the axis and generally perpendicular to the surfaces; and a biasing element urging the detent pin against the detent block; wherein each surface defines a range of possible bevel angle positions of the support arm, and each at least one step can abut the pin to limit motion of the support arm at a corresponding predetermined bevel angle; and wherein the detent block is adjustably mounted to the support arm to permit adjustment of the position of the step relative to the support arm.
