Abstract
A circular saw (1) cutting a workpiece at a generally right-angled corner formed between the workpiece and a structure is provided. The saw (1) includes a base plate (2) and a saw blade assembly (3) which has a saw blade (5) rotatably attached thereto and is tiltably mounted on the base plate by first and second pins (12,15) aligned with each other and oriented parallel to the saw blade. This arrangement permits the saw blade (5) to be manually tilted in two directions to desired angles with respect to the base plate (2) within a predetermined range. When the saw blade (5) is disposed at 90 degrees relative to the top surface of the base plate (2), the common longitudinal axis (O2) of the first and second pins (12) and (15) is spaced apart from the center plane (L) of the saw blade (5) toward the motor by a predetermined distance (S) as measured along a path orthogonally intersecting the center plane and the axis.
