ABSTRACT:
Embodiments are directed to a power compound miter saw having miter angle as well as bevel angle adjustment capabilities, with sensing units that can measure the angular position of the miter table relative to the base as well as the bevel angle of the blade relative to the table. Such sensing units generate position signals that can be used to provide a digital display of the miter and bevel angles to a high degree of accuracy. Moreover, the embodiments utilize mechanisms which enable a user to tighten the pivot connections of the table and the base as well as the pivot connection between the table and the bevel pivot support housing without damaging the sensing units. The sensing units are configured and mounted in such a way as to not interfere with access to the nut which can be rotated to vary the amount of friction between the adjacent components.
