Claim:
A slide compound saw comprising: a table defining a horizontal table surface, a saw unit having a saw blade, two first slide bars slidably coupling the table to the saw unit, and two second slide bars slidably coupling to the two first slide bars to the saw unit, wherein the two first slide bars are disposed substantially parallel to the two second slide bars and the saw unit is arranged and constructed to slide in a direction substantially parallel to the table surface (1) via the two first slide bars along a first discrete slidable range and (2) via the two second slide bars along a second discrete slidable range, wherein the two first slide bars are coupled with the table, wherein the saw unit is coupled to the two second slide bars so as to be non-rotatable relative to the two second slide bars about an axis parallel to the sliding direction, wherein the two second slide bars are spaced from the first slide bars in a direction substantially perpendicular to the table surface.
