A work table for a saw includes, a base member supporting elongated guide channels at an elevated position relative to the base member, a saw mounting plate slidably supported in the guide channels, the plate having a rectangular opening over which the base plate or shoe of a commercially available portable power saw is secured, a work supporting plate capable of being removably secured in alternative positions either below the saw supporting plate in which the table operates in the docking saw mode, or above the saw supporting plate in which the table operates in the bench saw mode, the work supporting plate having stops by means of which the saw supporting plate is secured in position when the work table is operating in the bench saw mode. The work supporting plate is formed with slots for receiving the blade of the saw in both modes of operation and for receiving mitre guages and work stops. The work supporting plate is convertible to two different ranges of widths by securing the plate to the work table in different positions.
A work table for a saw comprising, a pair of spaced horizontally extending guide members secured to support members in a position that is raised from a support surface, a saw supporting plate engaged with and guided by said guide members for movement in a horizontal plane, a work supporting plate having an elongated slot which in use receives the saw blade of a saw secured to said saw supporting plate, and means on said guide support members for securing said work support plate in alternative positions below said saw supporting plate in which the work table can operate in a docking saw mode and above said saw supporting plate with the saw blade adapted to project upwardly through said slot in which the work table can operate in use in a bench saw mode, and means on said table for preventing movement of said saw supporting plate relative to said guide members when the table is in the bench saw mode.
