Abstract
A cutting workstation which includes a cutter mounted on an arm type configuration. The arm configuration is slidably moveable relative to a divided work piece support table, the cutter moveable between the divided table. The cutter arm contains a cutter drive assembly exhibiting clutch plates mounted on shafts supported by bearings and driven by gears which in turn are driven by a motor. A gear case with shafts, bearings and internal gears allow the direction of the drive train to be altered.
Claims4
A cutting workstation comprising:
- a cutter arm assembly,
- a cutter arm positioning assembly adjustably mounted to said cutter arm assembly,
- a workstation base frame moveably mounted to said cutter arm positioning assembly,
- a work surface positioning assembly mounted to said workstation base frame,
- a work surface platform adjustably mounted to said work surface positioning assembly,
- wherein said work surface platform further comprises:
- a first work surface assembly, having a first work surface assembly front panel and a first work surface rear panel, said first work surface rear panel opposite said first work surface front panel,
- a first work surface top panel, having a top panel inner edge said top panel inner edge having a first work surface top panel ledge whereby said top panel ledge is disposed below said first work surface top panel,
- a first work surface outer panel having at least two first work surface outer panel apertures,
- a first work surface inner panel opposite to said first work surface outer panel, said first work surface inner panel having at least two internally threaded first work surface inner panel apertures, whereby said first work surface outer panel and said first work surface inner panel in combination with said first work surface front panel and said first work surface rear panel form a downwardly depending skirt,
- a work surface insert having a horizontal first work surface insert component and a vertical first work surface insert component, said horizontal first work surface insert component communicates with said top panel ledge whereby said horizontal first work surface component is contiguous with said top panel, said vertical first work surface insert communicating with said inner panel,
- a first work surface insert adjusting means,
- a work surface connector having a work surface connector first end and a work surface connector second end, said work surface first connector first end communicating with said first work surface,
- a second work surface assembly substantially similar to said first work surface assembly, said second work surface assembly communicating with said work surface connector second end, said second work surface assembly having a second work surface assembly front panel and a second work surface assembly rear panel,
- an tubular front rail mounted to said first work surface assembly front panel and second work surface assembly front panel, said front rail having an tubular front rail first end and an tubular front rail second end,
- an tubular first rear rail mounted to the first work surface assembly rear panel,
- an tubular second rear rail mounted to the second work surface rear panel,
- a first lateral work surface extension slidably disposed within said tubular front rail first end and within said tubular first rear rail, whereby work pieces of larger dimensions may be supported on said first work surface assembly,
- a second lateral work surface extension substantially similar to said first lateral work surface extension said second lateral work surface extension slidably disposed within said front rail second end and within said tubular second rear rail.
