Abstract
A portable woodworking assembly for use in supporting wooden workpieces and portable power tools for cutting, shaping and forming the workpieces with the portable power tools. This assembly includes a frame sub-assembly; one or more tool support structures including clamping structures for fixedly attaching the tool support structure to the frame sub-assembly and alternative slide structures which engage the frame sub-assembly for movably guiding a portable power tool relative thereto; and a workboard sub-assembly operatively associated with the frame sub-assembly to support a workpiece relative thereto and selectively position said workpiece relative to the portable power tool so that the power tool may engage the workpiece in the desired fashion.
Claims19
A portable woodworking assembly comprising:
- a frame sub-assembly having a first and a second longitudinal rail member disposed in spaced, parallel, coplanar relationship to each other, and support means operatively associated with said first and said second longitudinal rail members to support said first and second longitudinal rail members in stable position relative to the ground;
- a workboard sub-assembly operatively associated with said frame sub-assembly and including means for supporting a wooden workpiece thereon, said workboard sub-assembly further having a support bar attached to the underside thereof and said frame sub-assembly further having at least one U-shaped attachment member which operatively engages said support bar of said workboard sub-assembly;
- and a tool support structure adapted to support a portable power tool disposed thereon while simultaneously engaging each of said first and second longitudinal rail members of said frame sub-assembly, said tool support structure having a plurality of contact members which engage said first and second longitudinal rail members to thereby allow said tool support structure to be traversable along said longitudinal rail members and thus movable relative to a wooden workpiece stationarily disposed on said workboard sub-assembly to enable said stationary workpiece to be cut, shaped or formed in response to the action of said portable power tool, said tool support structure further having a plurality of extensions attached thereto and one or more clamp members detachably attached thereto, said plurality of extensions being engageable by said one or more clamp members to provide for the alternative of securely and immovably attaching said tool support structure to said longitudinal rail members so that a movable wooden workpiece can be moved to and thereby engage said portable power tool when it is stationarily disposed on said tool support structure.
A portable woodworking assembly according to claim, 4 in which said means for securing a portable power tool to said tool support structure includes a semicircular slot for supporting said power tool, said semicircular slot allowing for selectively adjusting said power tool to be disposed at an angle relative to said cross members to define a bevel cut angle relative thereto.
A portable woodworking assembly comprising a disassemblable frame sub-assembly having a first and a second longitudinal rail member disposed in spaced, parallel, coplanar relationship to each other and support means operatively associated with said first and second longitudinal rail members to support said first and second longitudinal rail members in stable position relative to the ground, said support means also having at least one U-shaped attachment member attached thereto;
- a workboard sub-assembly operatively associated with said frame sub-assembly, said workboard sub-assembly having a support bar attached thereto, said support bar being-operatively engageable with said U-shaped attachment member to fix said workboard sub-assembly in stable position relative to said frame sub-assembly, and said workboard sub-assembly further having means for supporting a workpiece thereon;
- and a tool support structure to which a power tool may be attached, said tool support structure being operable to coact with said longitudinal rail members to position said power tool in operative relationship to said workpiece.
