Abstract: A bevel table saw 10 comprising a table 14 supported by a frame 12, the table 14 defining a slot 16 for a saw blade 44, and a blade assembly 30 mounted to the frame 12 below the table 14 such that, in use, a saw blade 44 of the blade assembly 30 protrudes through the slot 16 to cut workpieces on the table 14, wherein the depth of cut of the saw blade 44 is adjusted automatically when bevel cuts are made in a workpiece. As a result, clashing of the blade assembly 30 with the underside of the table 14 or he frame 12 is automatically avoided, thereby simplifying se of the table saw 10 during the making of bevel cuts.

Abstract: A bevel table saw 10 comprising a table 14 supported by a frame 12, the table 14 defining a slit 16 for a saw blade 72, a blade assembly 54 mounted to the frame 12 below the table 14 such that, in use, a saw blade 72 of the blade assembly 54 protrudes through the slot 16, the blade assembly 54 comprising a motor 57 having a drive shaft 58, a layshaft 64 driven by the drive shaft 58 and a blade axle 70 for carrying a saw blade 72 driven the layshaft 64, wherein the layshaft 64 drives the blade axle 70, in use, by a linkage 66 substantially parallel to the saw blade 72 running from the blade axle 70 to one end of the layshaft 64, the other end of the layshaft being spaced from the saw blade 72 and driven by the drive shaft 58 of the motor 57, the motor 57 being positioned substantially directly below the blade axle 70 such that the saw blade 72 can be swung in either direction through an angle of 45.degree. to make bevel cuts in workpieces positioned on the table 14.
