Mechanism for determining obliquely inclined positions of cutting devices

摘要

An obliquely inclined position determining mechanism (40; 41) has an intermediate base (21; 62) rotatable relative to both a support base (11) and a pivotal base (12) of a pivotal support (10; 61) of a cutting device (1). A fixing device (23; 68) is operable to releasably fix the intermediate base (21; 62) in position relative to the support base (11) or the pivotal base (12). An adjustable screw (22; 65) is operable to accurately determine the rotational position of the intermediate base (21; 62) relative to the pivotal base (12) or the support base (11) at least when the saw unit (50) has been pivoted to a target obliquely inclined position.
