Abstract

The saw includes a sectional table top made up of one or more sections that may be opened to receive insertable conversion assemblies adapted to provide additional woodworking functions. A rotary saw blade is moveable reciprocatively with respect to the table top at selected angles of tilt and at selected heights. One or two rip fences are selectively positionable in parallel alignment with the rotary saw blade, and may be lowered to form lateral extensions of the table top. The table top includes dovetail grooves to receive attachment for a work piece clamp or an angle guide. A kerf guide is attachable to the rear edge of the table top.
