BASE PLATE FOR AN ELECTRIC POWER TOOL AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

The invention relates to a base plate (1) for an electric power tool (13), especially for hand-held circular saws, compass saws and routers. Said base plate consists of sheet metal and comprises reinforcing elements projecting from the plane of the sheet metal, at least one of said elements being configured as a lateral stop (12), and connecting elements (14) projecting from the plane of the sheet metal for fastening the base plate (1) to the miter box (23). The aim of the invention is to provide a base plate that is less complex in production, has a lower weight and higher rigidity at a lower risk of fracture. For this purpose, the metal sheet consists of light metal and the entire base plate (1) is configured as a single piece. According to the invention, the base plate (1) of the aforementioned kind is produced by a combined cutting and bending method.
