Abstract:
1. A saw stop assembly comprising: an elongated fence disposed in a first lengthwise direction comprising a plurality of first dovetail teeth disposed in repeating fashion along said first lengthwise direction, each of said first dovetail teeth further comprising at least three engagement surfaces wherein each engagement surface is disposed at an acute angle with respect to a neighboring said engagement surface in a second direction orthogonal to said first lengthwise direction; a first stop comprising one or more second dovetail teeth, each of said second dovetail teeth further comprising at least three stop engagement surfaces wherein each stop engagement surface is disposed at an acute angle with respect to a neighboring said stop engagement surface and which are geometrically similar to said first dovetail teeth; wherein each tooth of said one or more said second dovetail teeth matingly engageable with a respective one of said first dovetail teeth in only one translational direction, wherein said translational direction is both orthogonal to said first lengthwise direction and collinear with the planar surfaces of said engagement surfaces; and a second stop comprising one or more third dovetail teeth, wherein said first stop has a first dimension extending from said fence and said second stop has a second dimension extending from said fence, and wherein said first and second dimensions are unequal.
