Abstract
An oscillating power tool includes a housing, a motor disposed generally within the housing and including a drive shaft, an output spindle configured to be driven by the motor and journaled for oscillating rotation about an oscillation axis, a drive mechanism configured to convert rotation of the drive shaft into oscillating rotation of the output spindle about the oscillation axis, the drive mechanism including an eccentric member configured to rotate off center about the motor axis, and a forked member operatively coupled to the eccentric member and configured for oscillating rotation about the oscillation axis in response to rotation of the eccentric member, and an amplitude adjustment actuator configured to move the eccentric member in the direction generally parallel to the motor axis to change an angular amplitude of oscillating rotation of the forked member.
