Abstract
A power tool (10) has a working assembly (20) mounted on a first side of a table (16). The table is pivotable about an axis (41 ) with respect to a frame (14) between two working dispositions. A working head (e.g. blade 32) of the assembly (20) is positionable through an aperture in the table so that it can work on workpieces supported above either side of the table. The table is connected to the frame through an intermediate member (46) which is pivoted to the frame. The table has a first wheel (40) fixed thereto and a belt passes around the first wheel and around a second wheel (50) fixed to the frame (14) around the pivot (51 ) of the intermediate member. Pivoting of the intermediate member relative to the frame rolls the first wheel inside the belt and rotates the table between bench mode and snip-off mode.
