Abstract
A hand-held, fan-cooled motor drive jig saw with a two-piece, tiltable shoe assembly having a reversible, phenolic resin base portion with a wide recess for scrolling and a narrow recess for straight cuts. The base is connected to the shoe cover independent of the attachment of the cover to the saw housing to maintain a pre-selected tilt angle. Coolant air exhausted from the saw housing is channeled through flow passages in the shoe assembly to outlet ports in the shoe assembly to provide debris-clearing air streams oriented parallel to the workpiece surface and perpendicular to the cutting direction. The housing exhaust port is flow-connected to the shoe assembly through complementary sliding surfaces at the point of attachment.
