Abstract

A table saw has a base assembly, a table assembly supported by the base assembly, the table assembly, and a saw assembly supported by at least one of the table assembly and the base assembly. The saw assembly has a saw blade extending through the table assembly. The base assembly has at least one foot having a substantially horizontal surface, a substantially vertical surface, and a curved surface disposed between the substantially horizontal surface and the substantially vertical surface. The substantially vertical surface is substantially coplanar with a surface of the table assembly so that the table saw can be disposed on the substantially vertical surface and the surface of the table assembly.

First claim

We claim:

1. A table saw comprising: a base assembly;
a table assembly supported by the base assembly, the table assembly defining a workpiece support plane, the table assembly comprising a fixed rail and a sliding rail slidingly connected to the fixed rail;
a saw assembly supported by at least one of the table assembly and the base assembly, the saw assembly including a saw blade extending through the table assembly; and
a fence removably attached to the sliding rail, wherein the fence including a fence beam can be lockable and disposed on the sliding rail in a first position where the fence beam is between first and second ends of the sliding rail, and a second position where an entirety of the fence beam is not between the first and second ends of the sliding rail while the fence is disposed on the sliding rail;
wherein the base assembly comprises a first foot having a horizontal surface, a vertical surface, and a curved surface disposed between the horizontal surface and the vertical surface,
wherein the vertical surface is coplanar with a surface of the table assembly so that the table saw can be disposed on the vertical surface and the table assembly surface.

2. The table saw of claim 1 , wherein the base assembly comprises a first tube connected to the first foot at a first end and to the table assembly at a second end.

3. The table saw of claim 2 , wherein the base assembly comprises a second tube connected to the first foot at a first end, the second tube being horizontal when the surface is disposed on a ground surface.

4. The table saw of claim 2 , wherein the base assembly further comprises a second foot, a second tube connected to the second foot at a first end and to the table assembly at a second end.

5. The table saw of claim 1 , wherein the fence comprises a fence mount disposable on the sliding rail, the fence beam connected to the fence mount and a lock mechanism disposed on the fence mount for locking the fence mount on the sliding rail.

6. The table saw of claim 5 , wherein the lock mechanism comprises a cam surface that engages a slot in the sliding rail.

7. The table saw of claim 5 , wherein the fence further comprises a movable support plate mounted to the fence mount, the support plate being movable between a first position where the support plate is between the saw blade and the fence beam and where the support plate is coplanar with the workpiece support plane, and a second position where the support plate is not between the saw blade and the fence beam.

8. The table saw of claim 7 , wherein the support plate is movable to a third position where the support plate is between the saw blade and the fence beam and where the support plate is disposed above the workpiece support plane.
