  • Patent number: 5482026
    Abstract: An abrasive saw for the cutting of tiles and related materials utilizing an adjustable V-Track & Wheel carriage system to greatly improve precision and portability. The V-Track & Wheel abrasive saw provides a greater cutting area for large size workpieces, such as 18 inches or larger, as well as for cutting diagonals and corners on such pieces without damaging them. By positioning the blade cutting plane parallel to the plane of the carriage movement, precision is maintained with time even as the V-Track & Wheel wears. The saw utilizes a standard off the shelf, adjustable V-Track & Wheel assembly. This assembly is adjustable by means of an eccentric bushing system thereby maintaining precision integrity throughout the saws' working life. The V-Track & Wheel carriage system is mounted on a horizontal beam above the cutting table thereby providing a better view to work and avoiding accumulation of cutting dust particles on the V-Track & Wheel carriage system, prolonging its life and precision.
