<p>A compound miter saw (10) includes a unique table assembly (14) which incorporates an orientation system for a group of wear plates (64) and a three position lock system (28). The wear plates (64) between the table assembly (14) and the base (12) of the miter saw (10) have a different configuration at each end (66,68) which requires them to be assembled into the table saw with any burred edge being positioned away from the table assembly (14). The lock system (28) incorporated into the table assembly (14) is movable between three positions. The first position locks the table (14) to the miter saw. The second position permits rotation of the table (14) with a spring loaded detent system (48) releasably locking the table (14) at various miter angles. The third position permits rotation of the table (14) with the spring loaded detent system (48) being disengaged providing free movement of the table (14). <IMAGE></p> |
