<p>An improved throat plate (20) includes a main body (22), an opening (21) in the main body for allowing a cutting tool to extend therethrough, and a retainer assembly (17) attached to the main body for retaining the throat plate in contact with the table (13). Preferably the retainer assembly is pivotally attached to the main body and/or is movable between a first position contacting the table and a second position bypassing the table. The retaining assembly may pivot about an axis substantially perpendicular to a plane of the table. The retainer assembly may also include an cxtension (19) that contacts underside of the table. The cxtension in turn may include a camming surface contacting the underside of the table.</p> |
