MULTIFUNCTIONAL SAW APPARATUS AND METHOD
A multiple function saw includes a base including an arm selectively movable with respect to the base, the arm being selectively rotatable about a first arm axis at a first end of the arm, towards and away from a substantially planar top surface of the base. A saw having a housing is coupled to the arm at a second end of the arm. The multiple function saw is adjustable to operate in multiple different modes including a first mode with the arm being selectively rotatable about the first arm axis, a second mode with the arm being constrained from rotating about the first arm axis, the arm being substantially stationary with respect to the base, wherein the saw is pivotable about a vertical axis at the second end of the arm such that a face of a saw blade is positionable to operate as a table saw, and a third mode with the saw being moveable horizontally along the base to operate as a radial saw.
