ABSTRACT:
A combination woodworking tool is disclosed. The combination woodworking tool includes a frame having a horizontal bed for supporting workpieces. A rigid column is supported by the frame in proximity to and extends vertically upwardly beyond the horizontal bed. A powerhead is mounted to an upper end of the column in overlying relationship to the horizontal bed, the powerhead being vertically adjustable for movement toward and away from the horizontal bed. The powerhead further includes a motor and spindle which extends below a lower end of the powerhead. The spindle is adapted to interchangeably receive a chuck for use with a drill or a collet for use with a router. The powerhead is adjustably and rotatably mounted relative to the column for positioning the spindle in predetermined vertical, angular or horizontal positions relative to the horizontal bed for vertical, angular or horizontal drilling or routing. In conjunction with the different relative positions of the powerhead, the horizontal bed is also adjustable to provide different woodworking operations. The powerhead is also adapted to be vertically adjusted in proximity to the horizontal bed while also be rotatably adjusted relative to the column for positioning the spindle in a horizontal and proximate position relative to the horizontal bed for cooperation with a separately mounted lathe tail stock and tool rest in operating the combination woodworking tool as a lathe.
