Miter table assembly for a table saw
First Claim
1. In a circular saw table having a rotatable blade for cutting a workpiece and a miter table movable with respect to said circular saw table for guiding said workpiece with respect to said rotatable blade, the improvement in the miter table comprising:
- an elongated guide plate having lateral edges mountable to said saw table;
said lateral edges defining two tracks extending generally parallel to the rotatable blade when the guide plate is mounted to said saw table;
said miter table including linearly oriented adjustable follower means for slidably engaging each said track for longitudinal movement therealong;
said follower means being adjustable transversely to said track to position said miter table transversely with respect to said guide plate, said follower means including a rotatable eccentric locator for locating said follower means on said miter table;
said eccentric locator being rotatable to effect positioning of said miter table with respect to said guide plate thereby to provide precise alignment of the workpiece with respect to the rotatable blade during such movement.
