Patent ID: 7549360

Claim:
A cutting device comprising: a saw unit having a saw blade, a table for placing a workpiece thereon, a pivotal support for laterally pivotally supporting the saw unit relative to the table, the pivotal support including; a support base, and a pivotal base rotatably coupled to the support base about a rotational axis; a first fixing device operable to releasably fix the pivotal base in a position relative to the support base, a first obliquely inclined position determining mechanism arranged and constructed to determine an obliquely inclined position of the saw unit, wherein the first obliquely inclined position determining mechanism comprises: an intermediate base rotatable about the rotational axis of the pivotal base and rotatable relative to the support base and the pivotal base, a second fixing device operable to releasably fix the intermediate base in a position relative to one of the support base and the pivotal base, and an adjustable screw operable to further determine the rotational position of the intermediate base relative to the other of the support base and the pivotal base at least when the saw unit has pivoted to a target obliquely inclined position.
