Abstract
A miter saw includes a base, a horizontal table supported by the base, an arm pivotably coupled to the base at a rear pivot point configured to permit the arm to pivot about a horizontal axis, a circular saw blade arbor supported by the arm at a location spaced forward from the rear pivot point, and a circular saw blade supported by and concentric with the arbor. The saw blade is configured to be driven to cut a workpiece on the horizontal table. The rear pivot point permits the blade to move along an arc in a vertical plane perpendicular to the horizontal table. Between a rear edge of the arbor and a rear edge of the blade, the arm extends substantially above the height of the blade to allow substantially the entire blade area rearward of the rear edge of the arbor to be available for cutting the workpiece.
