Abstract
A work station is provided having a work surface. The work surface comprises spaced apart bearers (42) which are spaced apart and parallel. The bearers (42) are interconnected by braces (43) and intermediate bearer fits between the parallel bearers (42). In some embodiments of the invention, the intermediate bearer carrier a mitre guide (143).
Claims14
A work station for use with a power tool, the work station including:
- a generally planar work surface;
- a first track and a second track, mounted in spaced apart relationship adjacent opposite sides of the work surface;
- a first carriage and a second carriage mounted for reciprocal sliding movement along the first and second tracks respectively;
- and
- a guide for guiding a powered tool with respect to the work surface, the guide extending between, and being respectively pivotally mounted to, the first and second carriages;
- wherein the first and second carriages may selectively and independently be positioned on their respective tracks, thereby permitting corresponding adjustment of an angle of the guide means with respect to the work surface, within a plane substantially parallel with the work surface;
- the work surface further comprising a pair of spaced apart parallel first bearers connected to one another by a pair of rigid braces;
- the braces being attached to the underside of each first bearer;
- a second removable intermediate bearer supported between the first bearers.
