motions such as linear translations etc are not necessary in this regard the blade clamping arrangement 50 can be less prone to binding up such as a result of debris build up contamination or rust for example turning now to fig8 and 9 a clamping arrangement 150 constructed in accordance to additional features of the present teachings will be shown unless otherwise described herein the clamping arrangement 150 can be constructed similar to the clamping arrangement 50 described above and shown in fig6 and 7 in this regard like features have been identified with similar reference numerals increased by 100 the clamping arrangement 150 can generally include a clamp support base 152 a pivoting blade retainer or release lever 154 a first locking member 156 and a second locking member 158 according to the exemplary embodiment illustrated the first and second locking members 156 and 158 can be in the form of spherical balls however other shapes such as described above with respect to the first and second locking members 56 and 58 are contemplated the clamp support base 152 can define a first or vertical slot 160 receiving the blade 30 in either the first cutting position as shown in fig1 or the second cutting position as shown in fig2 the clamp support base 152 can further include a second or horizontal slot 162 the second slot 162 can receive the saw blade 30 in the third cutting position fig3 or the fourth cutting position fig4 as will become appreciated from the following discussion the release lever 154 is movable between a first closed position as shown in fig8 that clamps a saw blade.
