Abstract
A saw apparatus for automatically sawing pieces of material at various predetermined lengths and angles includes a power saw mechanism, a rotatable saw mechanism mounting structure, a motor for rotating the mounting structure, a translational power saw moving mechanism, powered anchoring mechanisms for anchoring the pieces of material during sawing, a mechanism for longitudinally positioning the pieces of material relative to the power saw mechanism for cutting at desired lengths, a power supply and power supply connecting mechanism for delivering power to the mechanism for longitudinally positioning the pieces, to the powered anchoring mechanism, to the power saw mechanism, to the motor for rotating the mounting structure, and to the translational power saw moving mechanism, switches for controlling the flow of power through the connecting mechanism, a computer and program for the computer for operating the switches so that at least one piece of material is longitudinally positioned by the mechanism for longitudinally positioning the pieces, is automatically anchored by the powered anchoring mechanism, and the power saw mechanism is automatically rotated to a predetermined angle relative to the piece by the motor rotating the mounting structure, and the power saw mechanism is automatically moved to cut the piece by the translational power saw moving mechanism. The apparatus includes a table for supporting the pieces of material during sawing and a stop wall on the table against which the pieces of material are clamped.
