Abstract
A powered compound miter saw that can perform miter and bevel cuts and which is adapted so that the saw blade can be moved to provide a wide cut. In particular, the compound miter saw employs a sliding mechanism that provides consistent cutting performance as the saw blade is moved from a fully retracted to a fully extended position even when the saw blade is making a severe bevel cut. The sliding mechanism employs three slide bars which have the saw blade mounted on one end thereof and which can laterally move within a housing. The slide bars are configured in a triangular arrangement and are supported within the housing by a combination of linear ball bearings and a plastic bushing.
