Abstract:
An adjustable apparatus for cutting a workpiece, the apparatus comprising:a base;a table having flat support surface for supporting the workpiece, the table being pivotally connected to the base for pivoting to various angular positions about a tilt axis residing substantially at and extending along the table support surface; anda cutter having a cutting element defining a cutting plane, the cutter being pivotally connected to the base for pivoting to various angular positions about a cutter pivot axis residing in the cutting plane, the cutter pivot axis intersecting the table tilt axis and being angularly disposed thereto such that the cutting plane intersects the plane of the table support surface and is selectively angularly positionable relative to the table tilt axis,the cutting element movable within the cutting plane toward the plane of the table support surface such that the cutting element approaches and cuts an exposed portion of the workpiece resting on the support surface, with the various angular positions of the table and the various angular positions of the cutter determining a composite angle at which the workpiece is cut.
