Patent ID: 8365419

Claim:
A power tool having an elongated housing with a nose portion having a generally right angled output shaft to which an oscillating cutting blade is attached, the orientation of the oscillating blade being generally perpendicular to the output shaft, said power tool further having an accessory attachment, said attachment comprising: an accessory interface mounted to the nose portion of the housing and having a central opening through which the output shaft extends; depth guide attachment mounted to said accessory interface, and being adjustably rotatable about an axis generally concentric with the output shaft when said accessory interface is mounted to the nose portion of the housing, said depth guide attachment further comprising: a relatively thin body portion extending generally perpendicularly to the output shaft of the power tool in at least one direction and having a generally circular opening with a center axis generally parallel to the output shaft when said accessory interface is mounted to the nose portion of the housing, said center opening being configured and sized to fit on said accessory interface and be rotatable relative thereto; a depth guide member having an elongated generally straight mounting portion and an outer end portion, said mounting portion being adjustably mounted to said body portion at a location outside said circular opening, said adjustment occurring rotationally and in a direction perpendicular to the output shaft of the power tool, the outer end portion being offset relative to said mounting portion so that said end portion can be adjusted relative to the oscillating blade; a locking member configured to secure at least said depth guide member in a desired position.
