Abstract: A metal saw is mounted upon a tippable arm above a table and is lowered to cut a work piece on the table. The saw and the tippable frame supporting it are mounted upon a vertically axised swing arm which has its vertical axis extending upwardly through the table in the plane of the saw blade and adjacent to the saw shaft. The tippable arm and the swing arm are laterally offset from the plane of the blade to permit the blade to be swung from a normal crosscut position perpendicular to a longitudinal edge of the table to selected angular positions and to a ripping position parallel to the edge of the table. The portion of the table immediately below the saw blade is formed as a disc which includes a slot wherein the edge of the saw may drop and which is axised to the swing arm to rotate with the swing arm and saw.
