## Abstract

A worktable assembly adapted to be disposed with a workpiece thereon includes a table top with a magnetically attractive top surface, and a workpiece support which includes a plurality of magnetic support pads disposed on the top surface and magnetically attracted to the top surface. The magnetic support pads have upward support surfaces extending along a horizontal plane for contacting the workpiece.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A worktable assembly adapted to be disposed with a workpiece thereon comprising:
a table top having a magnetically attractive top surface; and
a workpiece support including a plurality of magnetic support pads disposed removably on and magnetically attracted to said top surface of said table top, each of said magnetic support pads having an upward first support surface for contacting the workpiece, said first support surfaces of said magnetic support pads extending along a horizontal plane when said magnetic support pads are disposed on said top surface of said table top.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The worktable assembly as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a positioning plate attached to said table top and disposed under said horizontal plane, said positioning plate being formed with a plurality of positioning holes, each of said magnetic support pads being disposed removably in a selected one of the positioning holes.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The worktable assembly as claimed in claim 2, wherein each of said magnetic support pads includes a magnet layer and an abrasion resistant layer secured to said magnet layer, said first support surface being formed on said abrasion resistant layer.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The worktable assembly as claimed in claim 2, wherein each of said positioning holes in said positioning plate is elongated and has a width and a length, each of said magnetic support pads having a greatest diameter smaller than the length of each of said positioning holes such that each of said magnetic support pads is movable along the length of a respective one of said positioning holes.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The worktable assembly as claimed in claim 4, wherein each of said magnetic support pads is circular in shape.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The worktable assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said table top is formed with a mounting cavity and a plurality of fastening blocks adjacent to said mounting cavity, said worktable assembly further comprising a mounting unit adapted for mounting with a tool, said mounting unit including a mounting plate which has a plurality of side plate portions fastened to said fastening blocks and a connecting plate portion interconnecting said side plate portions.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The worktable assembly as claimed in claim 6, wherein said mounting unit has an upward second support surface extending along said horizontal plane.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The worktable assembly as claimed in claim 7, wherein said second support surface is formed on said connecting plate portion.

### Claim 9 (depends on 6)

The worktable assembly as claimed in claim 6, wherein said connecting plate portion is adapted for mounting with the tool and is formed with fastener holes, said mounting unit further including a plurality of fastening screws extending through said fastener holes and adapted for engaging the tool.
