Abstract
A rapidly detachable table for a host combination vertical-horizontal band saw that provides an enlarged work platform in the vertical cutting mode. The table employs a rapidly activated latching mechanism so that the table is quickly installed to operate in the enhanced vertical cutting mode and quickly removed to allow normal horizontal cutting operation. The portfolio of cuts that the saw can make is increased, as is the accuracy of the cuts in the vertical cutting mode.
Claims8
A detachable horizontal work table for a combination horizontal-vertical band saw, comprising:
- a. a fixed attachment plate, and
- b. a horizontal work surface, and
- c. a means for latching that supports attachment and detachment of said horizontal work table to said fixed attachment plate,
- whereby when attached to the fixed attachment plate in the vertical cutting mode, said horizontal work table substantially increases the area of the work surface, increases the repertoire of cuts the saw can handle, increases the accuracy of the cuts, and reduces blade to hand exposure in comparison to the saw configured for use in the horizontal cutting mode.
