Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Blade tilt mechanisms for table saws are disclosed. The disclosed tilt mechanisms provide easy and intuitive operation. They also provide auto-locking so that a user simply releases a component to lock the blade at a specific angle. The tilt mechanisms also provide defined incremental steps for the tilt of the blade and the steps are typically spaced at 1-degree intervals.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of changing angles of a blade relative to a work surface in a table saw, where the table saw has a trunnion supporting the blade, a rack, and a toothed engagement member with an engaged position wherein the engagement member engages with the rack to hold the trunnion in place relative to the work surface, and a disengaged position wherein the engagement member does not engage with the rack and the trunnion is free to move relative to the work surface, and where the engagement member is biased toward the engaged position, the method comprising: moving the toothed engagement member from the engaged position to the disengaged position so that the toothed engagement member does not engage with the rack; moving the trunnion and blade to a desired angle relative to the work surface; and releasing the engagement member, whereupon the toothed engagement member automatically returns to the engaged position and engages with the rack to hold the trunnion in place without requiring any further action by the user.
