  • Patent number: 5146826
    Abstract: A circular saw device having a variable cut-off angle includes a rotary table provided on a base, and a rotatable circular saw mounted on the rotary table to be movable upwardly and downwardly. A locator is provided on the base and has a curved front central portion concave backwards so that the locator does not interfere with the saw. The locator is movable between a first and a second position depending upon the cross-sectional size of the workpiece to be cut by the saw. The locator is placed in a first position when the workpiece has a small cross-sectional size and in a second position when the workpiece has a large cross-sectional size. Fitted members are provided in the bottom of the locator and are irremovably fitted in guide holes of the base so that the members are slidable in the holes to move the locator from the first to the second position. Pins are provided in the locator and are removably fitted in the small holes of the base to place the locator in the first or the second position.

  • Patent number: 5063802
    Abstract: A variable cutting-angle circular saw device includes a base; a rotary table 2 rotatably disposed in the central portion of the base; a bracket liftably attached to a hinge; a motor, a speed reducer, a circular saw, an outer cover, and a safety cover, all being fixed to the bracket; a fence fixed in a rearward position of the base; a clamp fixed at left- and right-hand positions of the device so as to allow a workpiece to be clamped for cutting the workpiece. A sawdust-guiding frame piece is suspended from a lower end of a rear portion of the cover so as to smoothly block a gap between the lower end of the rear portion of the outer cover and an upper surface of a curved portion in the central portion of the fence, guiding the sawdust blowing up via the blow-up port, to the inner side of the rear end of the outer cover. A sawdust accommodating chamber below the rotary table is closed at the bottom and has a substantially arcuate bag-like shape, and communication with the cover via a port at the rear thereof.
