Abstract
A work table having removably attachable support members extending between opposing frame members and a tool guide retention member extending along at least a portion of the frame. The work table may be collapsible. The tool guide retention member may be defined by a channel extending along at least a portion of the frame member. In turn, tool guides may be attached to the frame using the tool guide retention member. As such, various guides for various operations to be performed on a work piece may be provided. The work piece may be indexed using indexing members or may be clamplingly engaged to the work table.
Claims25
A work table comprising:
- a frame comprising a slideable side member, a stationary side member, a first end member, and a second end member;
- and
- multiple support members;
- wherein:
- the slideable side member is coupled to the first end member and the second end member;
- the stationary side member is coupled to the first end member and the second end member;
- the slideable side member is configured to be positioned at different times in a collapsed configuration and an extended configuration;
- the slideable side member is configured to be (a) positioned opposite from the stationary side member and between the first end member and the second end member when the slideable side member is in the extended configuration and (b) proximate to the stationary side member, between the stationary side member and the first end member, and between the stationary side member and the second end member when the slideable side member is in the collapsed configuration;
- the multiple support members are configured to be coupled to the frame when the slideable side member is configured in the extended configuration;
- the multiple support members are configured to extend between the slideable side member and the stationary side member when coupled to the frame;
- and
- the multiple support members are configured to be able to support a work piece in a working plane when coupled to the frame;
- the slideable side member comprises a first hinge and a second hinge;
- the first end member comprises a first channel;
- the second end member comprises a second channel;
- the first channel is configured to receive the first hinge to couple the slideable side member to the first end member;
- and
- the second channel is configured to receive the second hinge to couple the slideable side member to the second end member.
A work table comprising:
- a frame comprising a slideable side member, a stationary side member, a first end member, and a second end member;
- and
- multiple support members;
- wherein:
- the stationary side member comprises:

- the slideable side member is configured to be (a) positioned opposite from the stationary side member and between the first end member and the second end member when the slideable side member is in the extended configuration and (b) proximate to the stationary side member, between the stationary side member and the first end member, and between the stationary side member and the second end member when the slideable side member is in the collapsed configuration;
- the multiple support members are configured to be coupled to the frame when the slideable side member is configured in the extended configuration;
- the multiple support members are configured to extend between the slideable side member and the stationary side member when coupled to the frame;
- and
- the multiple support members are configured to be able to support a work piece in a working plane when coupled to the frame.
