Abstract:
A table saw includes a table assembly having a top surface, a cutting assembly, and an adjustment assembly. The cutting assembly is arranged below the table assembly and is movable relative to the top surface. The adjustment assembly is operably connected to the cutting assembly and includes an input member, an output member, and a flexible shaft. The output member is operably connected to the cutting assembly and is configured such that rotation of the output member causes the cutting assembly to move relative to the table top surface. The flexible shaft has a nonlinear central axis, a first end operably connected to the input member, and a second end operably connected to the output member. The flexible shaft is configured such that rotation of the input member causes rotation of the first and second ends, and rotation of the second end causes rotation of the output member.
