Abstract
An angularly adjustable band saw is disclosed which provides the desired angular adjustment of an endless band saw blade relative to a workable surface for bevel and/or miter cutting of a workpiece. The worktable surface is part of a supporting worktable that includes a saw blade slot extending through the worktable surface. A frame support is fixed to the worktable below the worktable surface and a movable frame is operatively connected relative to the frame support. The movable frame includes an upper band saw supporting wheel above the worktable surface and a lower band saw supporting wheel below the worktable surface, with an endless band saw blade mounted for movement about the upper and lower band saw supporting wheels, including through the saw blade slot in the worktable surface. The movable frame, including its associated endless band saw blade, is adjustable relative to the frame support and the worktable to provide the desired angular adjustment of the endless band saw blade relative to the worktable surface for bevel and/or miter cutting of a workpiece.
