1. A movable, fluid cooled/lubricated cutting tool apparatus adapted to provide compound mitering, the cutting tool apparatus comprising:
a work surface adapted to hold a workpiece in a stationary fashion during a cutting operation, the work surface having operatively associated therewith one or more of one or more stops, one or more fences or one or more clamps to hold the workpiece in a stationary fashion during a cutting operation; a cutting tool unit support apparatus operationally disposed relative to the work surface, the cutting tool unit support apparatus being adapted to be disposed at any of a plurality of angles relative to the work surface to provide a first mitering option, the work surface being rotational relative to the cutting tool unit support apparatus to provide a second mitering option, the cutting tool unit support apparatus also including at least a substantially stationary support structure and one or more rear-mount glide rails; wherein the one or more rear-mount glide rails are disposed within and are adapted to reciprocally and translationally slide within apertures defined in and through the substantially stationary support structure; a cutting tool unit which is supported by the support apparatus, the cutting tool unit being connected to the one or more rear-mount glide rails at the rear side of the cutting tool unit, the one or more rear-mount glide rails extending from the rear side of the cutting tool unit, the cutting tool unit being reciprocally and translationally movable with the one or more rear-mount glide rails, during a cutting operation, relative to the substantially stationary support structure, and relative to the work surface and any workpiece held stationary thereon; the cutting tool unit and cutting tool support apparatus further including one or more of a deflection shield to deflect fluid and grit from the cutting tool unit and gusseted protective members to provide for expanding and contracting to continually cover the glide rails and deflect grit and fluid therefrom; a cutting implement held by the cutting tool unit, whereby the cutting tool unit operates and controls the cutting implement during a cutting operation; and, a fluid coolant and/or lubricant system including an elongated fluid catch basin, a pump, and at least one fluid coolant and/or lubricant tube emanating from the fluid catch basin, connected at a first end to the pump and connected at a second end to the cutting tool unit, the at least one fluid coolant and/or lubricant tube being physically adapted to be reciprocally and translationally movable, during a cutting operation, in relation to the substantially stationary support structure and the work surface and any workpiece held stationary thereon when the cutting implement is in cutting operation, and being adapted to direct or flow a fluid from the fluid catch basin through the at least one fluid coolant and/or lubricant tube to the cutting implement during the cutting operation; wherein the cutting tool unit together with the cutting implement and the at least one fluid coolant and/or lubricant tube reciprocally and translationally move in operation, during a cutting operation, with the glide rails in relation to the substantially stationary support structure and the work surface and any workpiece held stationary thereon when the cutting implement is in cutting operation to provide operational reciprocal and translational movability for the cutting tool unit and the cutting implement relative to the stationary workpiece; the at least one lubricant tube being adapted to be reciprocally and translationally movable, during a cutting operation, in relation to the substantially stationary support structure by presenting slack in a first position near the substantially stationary support structure, and having the slack substantially reduced during reciprocal and translational movement of the cutting tool unit, during a cutting operation, to a second position away from the substantially stationary support structure; the elongated catch basin being elongated so as to be adapted to catch fluid throughout operational cutting motion, during a cutting operation, of and along the entirety of the flow path from the cutting tool from the first position to the second position and back to the first position. |
