1. A bevel table saw comprising:
- a table having a saw blade slot and an underside, said underside comprising an inclined ramp;
a frame supporting the table;
a saw assembly mounted below the table, the saw assembly being pivotable about an axis substantially parallel to the slot in two directions from a position substantially perpendicular to the table; and
depth adjusting means connected to the saw assembly for automatically adjusting saw blade cut depth as the saw assembly is pivoted in at least one of said directions, the depth adjusting means comprising a roller connected to the saw assembly, said roller bearing against the inclined ramp of said underside of the table.

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 the frame 12 is automatically avoided, thereby simplifying use of the table saw 10 during the making of bevel cuts.
