A miter saw includes a base, a table pivotally coupled to the base about a miter axis, and a saw unit coupled to the table for movement about the miter axis. A workpiece support is pivotable relative to the base between a first position, in which the table is permitted to pivot about the miter axis within a first range of miter angles, and a second position, in which the table is permitted to pivot about the miter axis within a second range of miter angles different than the first range. The miter saw further includes a locking mechanism for maintaining the workpiece support in at least one of the first position or the second position, wherein the locking mechanism includes an actuator supported by and moveable with the workpiece support between the first position and the second position.

Miter saw

A miter saw including a base, a turntable pivotably coupled to the base about a miter axis, and a miter angle lock assembly. The miter angle lock assembly includes a clamp biased into engagement with the base when in a clamped position, thereby exerting a clamping force on the base for locking the turntable relative to the base. The miter angle lock assembly further includes an override assembly for maintaining the clamp in a released position relative to the base in which the clamping force is released.

A miter saw including a base, a turntable pivotably coupled to the base about a miter axis, and a miter angle detent assembly. The miter angle detent assembly includes an actuator and a bi-stable cam mechanism. The bi-stable cam mechanism is operable to lock the turntable relative to the base at a desired miter angle by depressing the actuator a first instance, and is operable to permit relative movement between the turntable and the base about the miter axis by depressing the actuator a second instance.
