Abstract:
1. An electric power tool including: a housing having a motive power therein, a tool holder coupled to said motive power for receiving a cutting tool and rotating said cutting tool about a longitudinal axis, a base plate having an opening through which said cutting tool extends to engage a work piece, said base plate being adjustably mounted to said housing by guide arms, extension of said cutting tool being varied by adjusting the position of said base plate relative to said housing, said tool holder being able to extend through the opening in said base plate to provide better access to the tool holder, an on/off switch for energising said motive power, and a slidable cover movable from a switch-covering position to a non switch-covering position, whereby said motive power cannot be accidentally energised when said cover is in said switch-covering position and wherein said cover includes a safety stop which limits said extension of at least one of the guide arms when said cover is in said non switch-covering position.
