A reciprocating saw 11 comprises a support 27 attached to the body of the saw and a shoe 25 pivotally attached to the support 27. The pivoted shoe 25 enables the shoe 25 and thus the blade to engage a workpiece at varying angles during cutting. The shoe 25 is attached to the support 27 by a hinge. The hinge 12 comprises a spaced pair of tabs 29,31 extending from the support 27 and located between a spaced pair of tabs 45,47 extending from the shoe 25. Each of the support tabs is paired respectively with one of the shoe tabs. Pins 55,57 extends through apertures 33,35,49,51 in the tabs 29,31,45,47 and forms the hinge pivot. The hinge pivot is maintained in place by spacers 59,61 located, respectively, between each pair of shoe and support tabs and press fitted to the pin. The press fitted hinge 12 is low in cost and is durable. <IMAGE> |
