Abstract

A miter saw utility stand having a saw table top upon which the miter saw is to be mounted. Located in a plane extending above the saw table top and parallel to the saw table top surface are a pair of wings which extend longitudinally and are used to support the workpiece to be cut. Each wing has an upstanding fence along one edge to enable the user to securely brace the workpiece to be cut. In one embodiment, the structure supporting the wings precludes the wings from being moved into overlying relation to the table surface. In another embodiment, the wings can be adjusted laterally inwardly of the table top surface into abutting engagement with the wings and the support structure therefor being constructed to enable vertical and horizontal adjustment of the wings, removal of the wings and addition of similar wings to extend the workpiece supporting surface.

Dependent claims

A miter saw utility stand comprising:

a pair of wing means for supporting a workpiece, each of said wing means extending longitudinally and having an opening separating them;
a pair of fence means for bracing the workpiece, each of said fence means being mounted perpendicular to and flush with a longitudinal edge of a respective one of said wing means;
a pair of first adjustable sidewall means for adjusting the height of said wing means, said pair of first adjustable sidewall means being connected to the transverse edges of said pair of wing means;
table top means for holding the saw, said table top means being located below and parallel to a plane created by the length of said pair of wing means, the width of said table top means being about equal to the length of the opening separating said pair of wing means;
a pair of brace means for supporting said pair of wing means, one end of each of said brace means being mounted to a respective one of said wing means;
a pair of second adjustable sidewall means for adjusting the height of said pair of brace means and said pair of wing means relative to said table top means, each of said second adjustable sidewall means being connected to a respective one of said brace means;
and
leg means for supporting said pair of first and second adjustable sidewall means and said table top means, said leg means being connected to said pair of first and second adjustable sidewall means and said table top means.

5 more elements

A stand for a tool having a workpiece engaging means for performing a work operation on the workpiece, said stand comprising support means for the tool, workpiece supporting means extending laterally of the tool support means for supporting a workpiece during the work operation and means supporting the workpiece supporting means from the stand to enable adjustment of the workpiece supporting means in relation to the tool support means for orienting the workpiece in optimum relation to the workpiece engaging means on the tool, said tool support means being a generally horizontally disposed surface at the upper end of the stand, said workpiece supporting means including a laterally extending wing having an upper supporting surface extending laterally of the tool supporting surface, said means supporting the workpiece supporting means including means enabling vertical adjustment and horizontal adjustment of the workpiece supporting means.
