An adjustable workpiece supporting frame is disclosed for use with an abrasive saw supported relative to a base pan. The frame is removably mounted to the base pan and includes a plurality of generally parallel rails extending generally horizontally of the pan and also generally longitudinally of the saw. A series of spaced free-turning rollers are mounted on the rails for supporting a workpiece thereon while enabling longitudinal adjustment of the workpiece relative to the saw. A workpiece fence extends above and is generally parallel to the parallel rails with rollers, and is supported by the frame. The workpiece fence is laterally adjustable relative to the saw for precise measured adjustment thereof. The adjustable workpiece supporting frame thus provides both lateral and longitudinal adjustment relative to the abrasive saw.
An adjustable workpiece supporting frame for use with an abrasive saw supported relative to a base pan, the workpiece supporting frame being supported by and extending generally horizontally across the base pan for horizontally supporting a workpiece relative to said abrasive saw, said frame including a plurality of generally parallel rails extending longitudinally of said frame, adjustment means for adjusting a workpiece relative to said abrasive saw while resting on said frame, said workpiece adjustment means including lateral and longitudinal adjustment means for lateral and longitudinal adjustment relative to said abrasive saw, and means for providing incremental measured adjustment relative to said abrasive saw, said longitudinal adjustment means comprising a series of spaced freely-turning rollers mounted to said parallel rails for rollingly supporting the work piece thereon and for permitting ease of movement of the workpiece toward and away from the abrasive saw, and said lateral adjustment means including incremental adjustment means for adjusting said workpiece substantially normal to said generally parallel rails, the lateral adjustment means comprising a workpiece fence extending generally parallel to said parallel rails and positioned above said frame, said workpiece fence being connected to a laterally adjustable side rail of said frame, and said workpiece fence also being laterally adjustable relative to said frame.
An adjustable workpiece supporting frame for use with an abrasive saw supported relative to a base pan, said frame being removably mounted relative to said pan, said frame have a plurality of generally parallel rails extending generally horizontally of said pan and also generally longitudinally of said saw, a series of spaced freely-turning rollers mounted on said rails for supporting a workpiece thereon while enabling longitudinal adjustment of the workpiece relative to said saw, and a workpiece fence extending above and generally parallel to said generally parallel rails and being supported by said frame, said workpiece fence being laterally adjustable relative to said saw, thereby providing both lateral and longitudinal adjustment of a workpiece relative to said saw.
