First Claim
Patent Images
1. A table saw, comprising:
- a table assembly having a throat for a saw blade and a table surface for receiving a workpiece; and
a bevel assembly for beveling the saw blade between a first bevel of at least approximately 45 degrees in a first direction from a plane normal to the table surface and a second bevel of at least approximately 45 degrees in a second direction from a plane normal to the table surface, wherein the bevel assembly is capable of positioning the saw blade for providing full depth of cut when the saw blade is beveled to either of the first bevel and the second bevel.

Abstract
A dual bevel table saw provides a table saw enabled with a dual sided arbor assembly and a bi-directional bevel assembly. The dual sided arbor assembly coupled with the bevel assembly further provides for the positioning of a motor and a saw blade to allow for the full range of angular adjustment to be enabled without having to sacrifice any of the cutting features of the saw blade such as depth of cut. The dual bevel table saw may further include a companion saw assembly to provide increased functionality provided by the dual bevel table saw.

15. A bevel assembly for a table saw including a table assembly having a throat for a saw blade and a table surface for receiving a workpiece, comprising:
-
a mounting bracket for mounting the bevel assembly within the table saw;
an arbor assembly for receiving the saw blade so that the saw blade extends through the throat, the arbor assembly for turning the saw blade;
a trunnion engaged with the mounting for rotating with respect to the gudgeon;
a bevel member engaged with the trunnion and the arbor assembly, the bevel member for rotating with respect to the trunnion, wherein the bevel assembly bevels the saw blade between a first bevel of at least approximately 45 degrees in a first direction from a plane normal to the table surface and a second bevel of at least approximately 45 degrees in a second direction from a plane normal to the table surface, the bevel assembly positioning the saw blade for providing full depth of cut when the saw blade is beveled to either of the first bevel and the second bevel. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
