Publication number: 20050284276Abstract: An angular adjustment apparatus for a miter saw having a base and a turntable mounted to the base and rotatable around a generally centrally located axis, the turntable having a handle portion for rotating the turntable relative to the base. The apparatus includes an arcuate rack gear positioned on the base, and an elongated adjustment mechanism associated with the handle portion. The adjustment mechanism includes a pinion gear configured to engage the rack gear when brought into contact therewith, and a control wheel operatively connected to the pinion gear. The control wheel is rotatable around an axis concentric with the pinion gear and moveable along the concentric axis to cause the pinion gear to selectively engage and disengage the rack gear, wherein rotation of the control wheel while the pinion gear is engaged with the rack gear causes the turntable to rotate relative to the base.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2004Publication date: December 29, 2005Inventors: Mark Talesky, Wolfgang Hirschburger

Publication number: 20050262985Abstract: A workpiece stop is provided for a power tool such as a miter saw, wherein the stop is selectively movable to various positions for respective modes of operation. In one position, the stop is stored out of the way during non-use. In another position, the stop acts as a length-of-cut stop. In yet another position, the stop acts as a workpiece guide, especially useful for supporting crown molding during cutting. An embodiment of the stop includes an elongate main body portion with a guide tab portion and a stop tab portion projecting from the main body portion, and the stop is preferably mounted for selective movement both slidably and pivotally. Depending on the position of the stop, the guide tab portion or the stop tab portion are positioned to project adjacent a workpiece support surface on the saw to limit a position of a workpiece.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2004Publication date: December 1, 2005Applicants: Credo Technology Corporation, Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Mark Talesky
