Abstract
A worktable with a tabletop divided into a workbench panel and a tool mounting panel mounted on a tabletop frame. The tool mounting panel is adapted for the mounting of power tools such as a circular saw, a saber saw or compass saw, and a router or milling machine, and is pivotably attached to the tabletop frame such that it can be swung upwards and positioned at an inclined position above the workbench panel, thereby making it easy to mount and dismount power tools. The worktable has foldable legs which are attached to the tabletop frame only underneath the workbench panel. The legs can be folded underneath the tool mounting panel without obstructing a tool mounting area on the tool mounting panel.

A worktable comprising:
- a table top frame;
- a workbench panel mounted on the frame adjacent to a first end of the frame;
- a tool mounting panel pivotably mounted on the frame adjacent to a second end of the frame such that the tool mounting panel is positionable in an inclined position above the workbench panel;
- a first pair of legs attached to a first side of the frame and a second pair of legs attached to a second side of the frame;
- a first connecting member connecting the legs of the first pair of legs to each other and a second connecting member connecting the legs of the second pair of legs to each other, said legs being pivotably attached to the frame and the first and second connecting members are pivotably attached to the legs such that the legs are foldable towards the second end of the frame;
- a tool mounting area provided on the tool mounting panel, said legs being foldable beneath the tool mounting panel without obstructing the tool mounting area;
- and
- spring means attached to the frame and to the legs for holding the legs in an unfolded position when the legs are unfolded from a folded position beneath the tool mounting panel past a dead center position to the unfolded position, and for holding the legs in the folded position when the legs are folded from the unfolded position past the dead center position to the folded position.
