Patent ID: 8789283

Claim:
A reciprocating saw comprising: a motor; a drive shaft driven by the motor, the drive shaft defining a longitudinal axis; a wobble plate coupled to the drive shaft, the wobble plate extending from the drive shaft at an oblique angle relative to the longitudinal axis; a swashplate coupled to the drive shaft for rotation with the drive shaft, wherein the wobble plate is supported by the swashplate; a spindle coupled to and reciprocated by the wobble plate, the spindle having a stroke length; and an adjustment mechanism coupled to the wobble plate, the adjustment mechanism operable to adjust the stroke length of the spindle, wherein the swashplate is pivotally coupled to the drive shaft for pivotal movement relative to the drive shaft, and wherein the adjustment mechanism is operable to pivot the swashplate relative to the drive shaft to change the oblique angle that the wobble plate extends from the drive shaft.
