Abstract
In a scroll saw, a motor is drivingly connected to the saw blade for reciprocating the blade, and a table defining an approximately planar work surface for supporting a workpiece is pivotally mounted on a frame with the saw blade extending through a slot formed in the table for cutting the workpiece. The work surface defines a first side extending laterally on one side of the blade, and a second side extending laterally on an opposite side of the blade relative to the first side, and the first and second sides of the work surface are each tiltable about the 0.degree. plane through upper and lower angular segments of approximately 45.degree.. An angular adjustment member is connected between the table and frame, and a plurality of stop surfaces are angularly spaced relative to each other in select angular locations on its lower edge. A stop member is urged by a coil spring into engagement with the lower edge of the adjustment member, and is engageable with each stop surface in response to pivotal movement of the table to thereby stop the adjustment member and table in the select angular positions. An adjustment knob extends through a slot formed in the angular adjustment member, and is threadedly attached to the frame for rotation into engagement with the adjustment member to thereby lock the selected position of the adjustment member and table in place.
