Abstract
Various modifications to a cutting tool such as a tile saw are disclosed. One modification is the frame having a hollow cylindrical receptacle and the tool mounting structure having a cylindrical insert that is disposable within the hollow receptacle to allow one to swivel the tool in and out of position. Another modification is the tool holding bar being rotatable such that one can position the tool without loosening the brackets that attach the tool to the bar. Another modification is positioning the cutting-tray wheels inward of the tray edges to increase the tray's travel distance. Another modification is a retaining mechanism for selectively retaining the tray to the guide rails. This mechanism prevents tray tipping where the wheels-are inward of the tray edges.
