The swiveling frame should be attached to a rod at the swivel centre such that the design leaves modularity for automatic encoded swivel in the future.
For manual versions, the rod of the swiveling frame can be threaded so as to fasten with a nut.

The movement system requires the blade to move closer to the workpiece. This is the operation movement.

Operation

The movement system can allow the blade's plane of descent be at different angles to the workpiece. This is the angle movement.
