Abstract
An apparatus for connection to a reciprocating saw changes the direction in which cutting takes place from the reciprocating direction of the saw to a different direction. A first push rod is connected to the saw bar for linear movement in the reciprocating direction of the saw. A second push rod having a saw blade connected thereto is arranged for linear movement in a direction different than the reciprocating direction of the saw. A transmission disposed between the push rods transmits the reciprocating movement of the first push rod to a corresponding reciprocating movement of the second push rod, thereby imparting a cutting motion to the saw blade. The reciprocating direction of the second push rod with respect to the first push rod can be either fixed or adjustable. Optionally, the apparatus can be pivotably connected to the saw so that the angular disposition of these elements with respect to one another can be adjusted as desired.
