Patent ID: 8286539

Claim:
A saw comprising: a base; a frame assembly disposed on the base; a first rail disposed on the frame assembly, the first rail having a longitudinal axis and being adjustable relative to the frame in a direction lateral to the longitudinal axis; a saw assembly disposed on at least one of the base and the frame assembly, the saw assembly comprising a support assembly, a motor assembly pivotably supported by the support assembly, the support assembly remaining stationary relative to pivotal movement of the motor assembly and the motor assembly being pivotable about a pivot axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis, and a cutting wheel driven by the motor assembly, the cutting wheel having a plane substantially parallel to the pivot axis; a table slidingly disposed on the first rail through at least one set of wheels mounted to an underside thereof, so as to be movable relative to the saw assembly in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis; and a switch electrically connected to the motor assembly and disposed above the table and proximate to the motor assembly; wherein the first rail has a first end, and the table and the at least one set of wheels are movable beyond the first end, and wherein the first rail is adjustable with an adjustment mechanism disposed on the frame assembly, the adjustment mechanism including: an adjustment screw threadingly engaged with a cylinder arranged along cylinder axis, the cylinder axis disposed in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the first rail, and a locking screw extending through the first rail and the frame assembly in a direction orthogonal to both the cylinder axis and the longitudinal axis of the first rail.
