Abstract
A worktable having a leg supports (2 & 3) linked by strut (4) in normal working mode may have its leg supports repositioned one with another for alternative working modes, here shown with leg support (3) providing an extension to the top frame support 1, an extension leg (18) connected by strut (4) supports leg support (3) in a horizontal plane and a sliding element (20) providing the same essential form features as the top frame support (1) permitting the operational footprint of jaws (7 & 9) to be extended over the elongated top frame support provided by leg support (3).

A worktable system in which the clamping/displacement means activates a primary clamping/displacement vehicle along which a secondary clamping/displacement vehicle may be selectively positioned and fixed, the said secondary vehicle being employed to displace any attached tool or worktop section over a larger distance along the length of the primary vehicle and any extension linked to the said primary vehicle to a selected fixing point on the said primary vehicle or extension, the primary vehicle being employed to tighten and displacementally adjust the secondary vehicle together with any attached tool or worktop section over the remaining smaller distance.
