Abstract
A machine tool apparatus having a work piece support table supported by an articulating arm. The machine tool apparatus includes a stand and a motor mounted to the stand. A movable cutting tool holder is provided and a transmission mechanism is drivingly coupled between the motor and the cutting tool holder on the stand. The apparatus also includes a work piece support table and a table positioning support movably coupled to the stand. Part of the table positioning support projects outwardly from the stand. The apparatus further includes an arm having first and second ends. The first end of the arm is pivotably coupled with the projecting part of the table positioning support. The second end of the arm is rotatably coupled with the work piece support table.
