Front-accessible bevel locking system

摘要

A front-accessible bevel locking system (15) for use with a power tool (45), including a mechanism for locking the power tool (45) into a selected tilt or bevel position for bevel angle cuts. The bevel locking mechanism has a lever (70) attached to a link rod (20) by a cam mechanism (40,65) such that, as the lever (70) is moved to the locked position, the link rod (20) holds a pivot support (105) for the power tool (45) at a bevel angle.
