<p>A reciprocating saw having a main body, a reciprocating spindle extending from the main body, and a saw blade connected to the spindle and including a cutting edge for cutting the workpiece. A shoe is pivotally mounted relative to the main body at a pivot axis, and a shoe support extends from the main body to pivotally support the shoe at the pivot axis. The pivot axis is substantially adjacent to the cutting edge such that the pivot axis moves through the workpiece at substantially the same time as the cutting edge. The shoe support includes a post connected to and extending from the body, and a yoke connected to the post, the yoke including two leg portions pivotally connected to the shoe. The shoe is pivotally mounted at a pivot part that is recessed inwardly from a side guide surface. The shoe includes an indicator in alignment with the saw blade to facilitate alignment of the saw blade with a mark on the workpiece.</p> |
