Abstract
A work table having a tool movable in a cutting direction. The work table includes a support surface having a work area for supporting a work piece and forming a cutting channel through the work area in the cutting direction. A guide bar is mounted with respect to the work area and extends along the work area in the cutting direction. The guide bar has a length along which the tool moves, a width and a height, wherein the width is greater than the height. A tool base including a saddle is positionable with respect to the guide bar and slidably movable along the guide bar with respect to the cutting channel. The tool is mountable on the tool base and has a blade aligned with the cutting channel.

A work table having a tool movable in a cutting direction, the work table comprising:
- a support surface having a work area for supporting a work piece and forming a cutting channel through the work area in the cutting direction;
- a guide bar mounted with respect to the work area and extending along the work area in the cutting direction, the guide bar having a length along which the tool moves, a width and a height, the width greater than the height;
- and
- a tool base including a saddle positionable with respect to the guide bar, the tool base slidably movable along the guide bar with respect to the cutting channel, the tool mountable on the tool base and having a blade aligned with the cutting channel.
A work table including a tool movable through a work area in a cutting direction, the work table comprising:
- a support surface having a work area for supporting a work piece and forming a cutting channel along the work area in the cutting direction;
- a guide bar pivotally mounted with respect to the work area and extending along the work area in the cutting direction, the guide bar having a length along which the tool moves, a width and a height, the width greater than the height, a first end portion of the guide bar fixedly mounted to a first swing bracket pivotally attached with respect to a first end portion of the support surface and a second end portion of the guide bar fixedly mounted to a second swing bracket pivotally attached with respect to an opposing second end portion of the support surface;
- and
- a tool base including a saddle positionable with respect to the guide bar, the tool base slidably movable along the guide bar with respect to the cutting channel, the tool positionable on the tool base and having a blade aligned with the cutting channel.
A work table having a generally planar work area and including a power tool movable through the work area in a cutting direction, the work table comprising:
- a cutting channel formed through the work area in the cutting direction;
- a guide bar pivotally mounted with respect to the work area, and including two parallel guide elements extending along the work area in the cutting direction, the guide bar fixedly mounted to a first swing bracket pivotally attached with respect to a first end portion of the work table and a second swing bracket pivotally attached with respect to an opposing second end portion of the work table;
- a tool base including a saddle slidably movable along the guide bar with respect to the cutting channel, the tool base including a first follower element cooperating with one guide element of the two parallel guide elements and a second follower element cooperating with another guide element of the two parallel guide elements as the saddle moves along the guide bar;
- and
- the power tool mountable on the tool base and having a blade extending into the cutting channel as the power tool moves with respect to the guide bar.
