    You want to build or replace? Tilt functions are part of most circular saw bodies. Lift is built into the front of the body, with a slotted curved segment holding the position at the rear. For many saws, replacement parts can be ordered, with varied amounts of economy.

    Hello and thanks.
    I do not have to replace because I want to build the saw bench with do-it-yourself.
    possibly I would like to buy it already done but if I do not exist I build it, an idea of how to do it is already in my mind.

    Building what we call a table saw with tilt and elevation would be fairly serious engineering, not impossible. You could Google a parts diagram to establish the reverse-design process. Otherwise, there are many blank tables made that accept a hand held circular saw readily. Far less intensive project you could do as we say 'at the kitchen table'. They are little but a table with enough clearance underneath to mount a functioning saw package by it's bed plate. Commercially, I'm sure they have a secondary switch or wire out that in handle so it runs independently of being gripped.
    While self built tools are a great goal, sometimes you have to spend cash on 'the real thing' to get started. Unless you're after a 1950's Unisaw, Oliver, Moak, Crescent, Rockwell...a craftsman can build his own. Grand old iron cannot be duplicated without vast resources.
    I don't know where you are, but we call it $$$.$$, others €€€.€€.
