MITER GAUGE ASSEMBLY
A miter gauge for guiding a work piece over a work surface of a work platform in relation to a saw blade. A fence plate is connected to a base assembly and is movable relative to a base of the base assembly to adjust the position of the fence plate relative to the base. Brackets connecting the fence plate to the base are each movable relative to the base to adjust the orientation of the fence plate relative to a first axis perpendicular to the blade in order to square the fence engaging face to the blade. The fence plate is movable relative to the two brackets to adjust the orientation of the fence plate relative to a second axis perpendicular to the work surface in order to square the fence engaging face to the work surface.
MITER GAUGES AND FENCES
A miter gauge with discrete indices is disclosed. The indices allow a user to make precise, accurate adjustments to the miter angle of the miter gauge. The miter gauge may include a plurality of sets of indices with discrete steps of different amounts. The miter gauge may include a drive to adjust the miter angle. The drive may include a gear. A reversible miter fence is also disclosed. The miter fence may optionally be used with the miter gauge to provide a larger workpiece support surface. A flip stop mechanism is also disclosed. The flip stop mechanism may optionally be used with the miter fence to provide a reference surface for positioning a workpiece.
ANGLE DIVIDER FOR MITER SAW
An angle divider includes a body portion with a proximate end and a distal end. A distal end pivot point is positioned in the distal end of the body portion. First and second removable arm are pivotally mounted to the distal end pivot point. The arms pivot with respect to the distal end pivot point. An adjustable pivot is mounted for sliding movement within an elongated slot formed in the body portion. Brackets removably interconnect the arms to the adjustable pivot. Movement of the arms results in movement of the adjustable pivot longitudinally along the body portion. A lock locks the adjustable pivot with respect to the body portion, which locks the arms in place with respect to the body portion. The removable arms can be removed from the adjustable pivot point for transport and to split the angle. 0
Precision adjustable miter gauge for a table saw
An adjustable miter gauge for use with a table saw includes a miter attachment and an adjustable guide bar coupled to the miter attachment. The miter attachment rests on a working surface of the table saw. The guide bar is received in a slot in the working surface. The guide bar includes a main body, which has first and second surfaces parallel to side walls of the slot, an adjustable body, which has a third surface parallel to the first surface, and a deformable biasing member. The adjustable body is coupled to the main body and slidable between a first position, wherein the second and third edge surfaces are coplanar, and a second position, wherein the second and third edge surfaces are not coplanar. The biasing member is arranged between the main body and the adjustable body and biases the adjustable body toward the second position.

CUTTING LOAD AND/OR BEVEL
A device for carrying out miter cuts includes two limbs which are secured to a central element in a pivotal manner in each case and so as to be fixable in pivoted positions. Each limb has a stop strip with a contact surface, wherein the contact surface lies opposite a counter contact surface formed by a counter stop. The distance between the contact surface and the counter contact surface can be adjusted by an adjusting element. Furthermore, the limbs and the central element are made of plastic, and a region of the central element from which the guide elements originate and which extends at least over the region between the guide elements has either a metal plate or an exchangeable sacrificial plate.
