A saw has a base assembly, a saw assembly pivotally mounted on the base assembly, a motor mounted within the saw assembly, and a drive spindle rotatably driven by the motor via a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism has a rotatable output shaft, a first drive wheel mounted on the output shaft, a rotatable intermediate shaft, a first driven wheel mounted on the intermediate shaft, a first drive belt wrapped around the first drive wheel and first driven wheel for transfer rotary motion of the output shaft to the intermediate shaft, a second drive wheel mounted on the intermediate shaft, a second driven wheel mounted on the drive spindle, and a second drive belt wrapped around the second drive wheel and second driven wheel for transferring rotary motion of the intermediate shaft to the drive spindle. |

1. A saw comprising:
a base assembly (2); a saw assembly (38) pivotally mounted on the base assembly capable of pivoting towards or away from the base assembly to cut a work piece located on the base assembly, wherein the saw assembly is slideably mounted onto two parallel guide rods (30, 32) which are pivotally mounted on the base assembly, the rods (30, 32) being located in a vertical plane with one being located above the other; a motor (108, 110) mounted within the saw assembly; a drive spindle (48) rotatably driven by the motor via a drive mechanism; the drive mechanism comprising a rotatable output shaft (112), a first drive wheel (126) mounted on the output shaft, a rotatable intermediate shaft (128) parallel to the output shaft, a first driven wheel (134) mounted on the intermediate shaft, a first drive belt (138) wrapped around the first drive wheel and first driven wheel for transferring rotary motion of the output shaft to the intermediate shaft, a second drive wheel (136) mounted on the intermediate shaft, a second driven wheel (144) mounted on the drive spindle, a second drive belt (146) wrapped around the second drive wheel and second driven wheel for transferring rotary motion of the inter mediate shaft to the drive spindle, the drive spindle being parallel to the output shaft; wherein the first belt 138 is located on a first side of the plane within which the rods (30, 32) are located to the motor and the second belt 146 is located on a second side of the plane within which the rods 30, 32 are located opposite to the first belt 138. |
