An angle head for use with a power tool includes an angle housing defining
first and second non-parallel axes and a pinion shaft supported within
the angle housing for rotation about the first axis. The pinion shaft has
a first end that includes a plurality of pinion teeth, and a second end
adapted to be engaged by a motor of a power tool. The angle head also
includes a bevel gear supported in the angle housing for rotation about
the second axis. The bevel gear includes an upper shaft, a toothed
portion, and an output spindle. The upper shaft, toothed portion, and
output spindle are integrally formed as a single, monolithic structure.
The toothed portion is between the upper shaft and output spindle. The
toothed portion includes a plurality of bevel teeth in meshing engagement
with the pinion teeth such that rotation of the pinion shaft about the
first axis causes rotation of the bevel gear about the second axis.
