Abstract
A cutting-tool mounting structure includes a cutting-tool base that supports a cutting-tool blade and permits one to pivot the blade about an axis parallel to the cutting direction of the blade and through a range of positions. The range of positions includes a first position where the blade is perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the cutting surface, a second position where the blade is canted to one side of the first position, and a third position where the blade is canted to the other side of the first position. The tool base includes a motor mount that supports a cutting-tool motor and a blade mount that supports the blade and is rotatably attachable to the motor mount. By rotating the blade mount, the vertical cutting angle of the blade can be made substantially perpendicular to a cutting surface so that the blade can be positioned perfectly plumb for cutting.
