Multipurpose Cutter Table With Foldable Supports for Angle Cutting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wood cutting devices lack flexibility in accommodating cutting objects of varying sizes and angles, requiring additional equipment or complex adjustments that can lead to deformation or damage.
Innovation Solution
A multipurpose cutter table with foldable leg members, adjustable side supporting members, and a rotatable upper surface supporting member allows for stable placement of cutting objects on either side or the upper surface, enabling flexible cutting angles and easy storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional wood cutting device with a fixed workbench is used, then vertical cutting is achieved, but the device cannot accommodate inclined cutting angles without additional equipment
Solution Approach 1:
The turntable is designed to be rotatable relative to the base, allowing dynamic adjustment of cutting angles. The saw blade can be positioned at various angles by rotating the turntable, transforming a static cutting device into a dynamic one that adapts to different cutting requirements without needing multiple fixed configurations
Solution Approach 2:
The cutting device is designed to perform multiple functions: vertical cutting, inclined cutting at various angles, and adjustable working heights. The turntable mechanism enables the same saw blade to handle different cutting angles, while the adjustable leg members allow different working heights, making one device universal for various cutting operations
2Stability of the object's composition
If the turntable is excessively tightened to ensure fixed position, then stability is improved, but the base may deform or be damaged due to excessive force
Solution Approach 1:
The locking mechanism is designed to automatically lock the turntable at desired positions without requiring excessive manual force. The self-locking feature engages naturally when the turntable is rotated to a position, allowing the user to secure the turntable simply by releasing the handle rather than applying continuous excessive tightening force
Solution Approach 2:
The locking mechanism transitions from a static excessive-tightening approach to a dynamic self-locking system. The turntable can be freely rotated during positioning, then automatically locks into place through its mechanical design, eliminating the need for continuous force application that could damage the base
3Stability of the object's composition
If a bulky workbench is used for stable cutting operations, then cutting stability is improved, but portability deteriorates making it difficult to carry to work sites
Solution Approach 1:
The leg members are designed to be foldable, allowing the workbench to transition between an extended stable configuration during cutting operations and a compact folded configuration for transport. This dynamic structure provides cutting stability when needed while enabling portability when the device needs to be moved to different work sites

AI summary
A multipurpose cutter table comprises a table member having a long hole in which a saw blade is installed; a pair of leg members foldably installed on a bottom surface of the table member and supporting the table member; a pair of side supporting members installed to be adjustable in length on both sides of the table member and to support a cutting object on both sides of the table member; and an upper surface supporting member foldably installed on an upper surface of the table member and installed so that the cutting object is placed on the upper surface of the table member. Accordingly, a cutting object longer than the table member can be stably placed by the side supporting member, the height of the horizontal fixed frame can be freely adjusted, and a huge working space placing a cutting object before and after cutting can be obtained.
