Micro-Adjustable Flip-Away Work Stop for Strut Systems

Abstract

A work-stop and work-adjustment assembly for use in the metalworking and woodworking fields which is meant to run within a strut system (as in Unistrut or a comparable product) and is comprised of a four-piece assembly. The design of the assembly allows for the fine adjustment of a piece of material and can be “flipped-away” out of the work piece plane in order to clear a work table surface. The present invention is unique in that it can be used in both woodworking and metalworking applications, and can be used to make a traditionally imprecise function—such as cutting on a radial arm saw—accurate to around ten thousandths of an inch (˜0.010″), and in some cases to around 5 thousandths of an inch (˜0.005″) depending on the instrument and material to be cut.
