Patent ID: 8061251

Claim:
A power tool comprising: a base supportable on a surface to support the power tool on the surface; a table supported by the base for pivoting movement about an axis; a detent assembly operable to position the table relative to the base in a selected angular position, the detent assembly including a detent projection supported on one of the base and the table, and a detent recess defined by the other of the base and the table, the projection being engageable in the recess to position the table relative to the base in the selected angular position; a fine adjustment assembly between the base and the table and operable to finely adjust the angular position of the table relative to the base, the fine adjustment assembly including a rotating member supported by one of the base and the table, an engagement surface provided by the other of the base and the table, the rotating member being selectively engageable with and rotatable along the engagement surface to finely adjust the angular position of the table relative to the base, and a detent override assembly operable to disengage the detent projection from the detent recess in response to axial movement of the rotating member toward the engagement surface and hold the detent projection out of engagement with the detent recess when the rotating member is engaged with the engagement surface; and a lever coupled to the detent projection, wherein the detent override assembly includes a ramp, moveable in response to axial movement of the rotating member toward the engagement surface, upon which a portion of the lever slides to disengage the detent projection from the detent recess.
