Abstract
A preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a foot assembly for a power hand tool such as a jigsaw that has an angularly adjustable support foot with a generally flat bottom, at least two spaced apart supports connected to the support foot, an elongated rod extends through apertures in the supports in a configuration that permits limited sliding movement and the angular adjusting movement of the support foot relative to the hand tool, a retainer member associated with the hand tool that selectively engages one of the supports to lock the support foot at predetermined angular positions, and a spring biases the retainer member toward engagement with the support. A second embodiment includes a removable transparent plate that attaches to the support foot and has a faux laser line for a cutting aid.
