Patent ID: 10293418

Abstract:
A modular circular saw includes a base, a worktable disposed on the base and a workpiece supporting unit. The workpiece supporting unit has two supporting frames respectively and correspondingly located on two lateral sides of the worktable; each workpiece supporting unit has a supporting shaft and two corresponding extending shafts. Each extending shaft has one end pivotally connected to the base, another end of the extending shaft is pivotally connected to one end of the supporting shaft, correspondingly. When the workpiece supporting unit is in an extended position for receiving a workpiece, the two supporting shafts are substantially co-planar with the worktable, such that the two supporting shafts provides extra support to a workpiece of large size. When the workpiece supporting unit is in a folded position, the two supporting shafts are located above the worktable for minimizing the size of the saw and for allowing the user to grip the saw for easy transportation.
