Abstract
A woodworking bench for the precision cutting of workpieces includes a table top pivotally mounted on a frame and a saw support assembly mounted on one side of the table top. The support assembly includes a pair of guide arms for slidably receiving a portable circular power saw so that the saw blade may be moved across the workpiece to operate as a radial saw. The guide arms are pivotally mounted about a vertical axis in a cantilevered construction so that miter cuts may be made, and the arms may be moved up and down to vary the depth of the cut of the saw blade. A saw lock for locking the saw in a fixed position on the guide arms is also provided so that the table top may be flipped and converted to a table saw whereby a workpiece may be moved across the blade.
Claims9
A woodworking bench for precision cutting of wooden workpieces, comprising:
- a frame;
- a table top mounted on the frame and having a pair of opposing flat surfaces, said table top being selectively movable between a first position wherein one of said surfaces provides a top work surface and a second position wherein the other of said surfaces provides the top work surface;
- a saw support means mounted on said one surface which includes guide means for slidably guiding a portable circular power saw so that the saw blade may move across a workpiece when said table top is in said first position, and saw lock means for locking said saw in a fixed position on said guide means wherein the saw blade projects through an opening in said table top so that a workpiece may be moved along said other surface across the blade when the table top is in said second position;
- and
- table securing means for releasably securing the table top to said frame.
