Miter saw having circular saw blade section pivotally movable upward and downward and tiltable leftward and rightward

摘要

A compact miter saw (1) includes a base section (10) on which a workpiece (W) to be cut is held. The base section (10) has a front side and a rear side those defining a first direction and has a right side and a left side those defining a second direction. A holder (22) is movably supported to the rear side of the base section (10) and pivotable in the second direction. A fixing mechanism (70) fixes a pivot position of the holder (22) relative to the base section (10). A guide bar section (30) includes two guide bars (31) supported to the holder (22) and extending in the first direction. A saw blade support section (40) is disposed slidable with respect to the guide bars (31) and selectively position-fixable with respect to the guide bars (31). A saw blade section (50) accommodates a motor (56) and rotatalby supports a circular saw blade (51) driven by the motor (56). The saw blade section (50) is pivotally supported to the saw blade support section (40) and is movable toward and away from the base section (10).
