Claim:
An apparatus for cutting a workpiece, comprising: a housing having an outer housing surface and an inner housing surface including at least a substantially planar first workpiece support surface, wherein the inner housing surface defines a cavity; a cutting mechanism coupled to said housing and movably-arranged at least within said cavity; a first door pivotally coupled to said housing, wherein the first door is pivotably-arranged relative to said housing in one of two positions including an open position and a closed position, wherein said first door includes an outer door surface and an inner door surface defining a substantially planar second workpiece support surface, wherein said outer door surface is substantially aligned with the outer housing surface when the first door is pivotably-arranged relative to said housing in the closed position, wherein said substantially planar second workpiece support surface of said inner door surface is arranged in a substantially co-planar orientation with said substantially planar first workpiece support surface when the first door is pivotably-arranged relative to said housing in the open position; a biasing mechanism coupled to said first door for biasing said first door in said open position; a second door pivotally coupled to said housing pivotable between an open position and a closed position; a power button for turning on and off the power, said power button coupled to a release mechanism for releasing said second door from the closed position when said power button is depressed, said second door biased into an open position, said power button also coupled to a release mechanism for releasing said first door from the closed position when said power button is depressed; and a user display coupled to an inside of said second door.
