Patent number: 7367253Abstract: A fine-adjustment mechanism for making small adjustments to a cutting angle on a miter saw is used in conjunction with an apparatus that includes a base having at least one recess, and a turntable that supports a cutting tool is rotatably mounted to the base. An angular-adjustment lever is pivotally mounted to the turntable. The angular-adjustment lever includes a first insert proximal to the turntable. The first insert is capable of engaging at least one recess. The fine-adjustment mechanism is mounted to the turntable and includes a fine-adjustment lever pivotally mounted on the turntable. A second insert having an opening therethrough is supported by the fine-adjustment lever and adapted to engage at least one recess of the base. A threaded rod supported by the fine-adjustment lever extends through the opening in the second insert. A latch holder may be attached to the fine-adjustment lever.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2006Date of Patent: May 6, 2008Assignee: Credo Technology CorporationInventors: Ezequiel Romo, Kenneth N.

Publication number: 20030200852Abstract: A miter cut fine adjustment mechanism for use with a cutting tool for finely adjusting the angle of cut. The miter cut fine adjustment mechanism has a yoke mounted to a lever, the lever attached to a cutting tool for moving the cutting tool into a different angle of cut. An insert is movably secured between the opposing side walls of the yoke for detachably securing the lever to a worktable and the insert is laterally movable for finely adjusting the angle of cut.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2002Publication date: October 30, 2003Inventor: Ezequiel Romo

Patent number: 6460442Abstract: A rip fence used with a table saw, where the table saw has an upper cutting surface with a front edge surface and a rear edge surface. The rip fence includes a main casing having a front clamping mechanism at the front end and a rear clamping mechanism at the rear end. The front clamping mechanisms has a frame with a handle pivotally connected thereto. A link is connected at one end to the handle and at another end to a cam. An activation plate is also connected the cam and to a clamping plate. The handle rotates between a locked position and a released position thereby moving the link to rotate the cam against the activation plate. The activation plate causes the clamping plate to laterally move between a locked position and a released position relative the front edge surface. The handle also causes the rear clamping mechanism to move between a locked and a released position relative the rear edge surface.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2002Date of Patent: October 8, 2002Assignee: S-B Power Tool CompanyInventors: Mark S. Talesky, Kenneth N. Svetlik, Ezequiel Romo
