Abstract
An adjustment device for a compound miter saw includes a base having a top and a miter lip with detents, a turntable having a bottom and a miter assembly. The turntable is rotatably mounted on the top of the base, and the miter assembly is attached to the bottom of the turntable. The miter assembly includes a resilient biasing member having an engaging stop corresponding to the detents, a releasing rod rotatably mounted in the turntable, and an eccentric rotator having an eccentric portion and attached to the releasing rod corresponding to the resilient biasing member. The releasing rod rotates the eccentric rotator so the eccentric portion will push the engaging stop upward to disengage it from the detents to allow the turntable to be adjusted.
