Abstract
A guide table for diverse power woodworking tools includes a pair of laterally relatively adjustable power tool guide rails. Ripping of lumber by means of a sabre saw is enabled by the addition to the table of a sabre saw blade guide slot perpendicular to the guide rails, the provision of a precision adjustable lumber guide on the table parallel to the sabre saw guide slot and the provision on one guide rail of a quick attachable and removable locator device for the sole plate of a sabre saw which requires only an initial adjustment to allow subsequent usage with the same sabre saw. An adjustable lumber hold-down element is provided on one guide rail of the table.

A device to enable ripping of material by a portable power saw comprising a table member having a saw blade slot, first and second abutment members on the table member, means to adjust and lock at least one abutment member relative to the other whereby the space between said abutment members may be varied, a portable power saw positioning means carried by one abutment member including an elongated plate body portion, a pair of opposing elements on said elongated plate body portion having spaced end faces directed toward each other and adapted to engage opposite upper portions of a portable saw sole plate to prevent upward and lateral displacement of the sole plate which also engages the other abutment member, and at least one of the opposing elements of said pair of opposing elements being adjustable and lockable on said plate body portion relative to the other of the opposing elements.
A device to enable ripping of material by a portable power saw comprising
- a table member having a saw balde slot, first and second abutment members on the table member, means to adjust and lock at least one abutment member relative to the other whereby the space between said abutment members may be varied,
- a portable power saw positioning means carried by one abutment member including a plate body portion, a pair of opposing adjustable and lockable plate elements having inclined end faces which are convergent and adpated to engage upper portions of a portable saw sole plate to prevent upward and lateral displacement of the sole plate which also engages the other abutment member, said plate elements having adjusting slots, fastener means on the plate body portion engaging in said adjusting slots, and an adjustable and lockable material guide on said table member in parallel relationship to said saw blade slot.
