ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for supporting a power tool, e.g., a power mitre box, are disclosed. In a preferred embodiment (10), an electrically-powered motor unit (16) is pivotably supported by a table (14) which in turn is rotatably supported by a base (12). The base (12) preferably includes four legs (20) and an equal number of studs (26). The legs (20) and studs (26) combine to form front slot (27a) and rear slot (27b) in the base (12) suitable for receiving a pair of horizontal support members, e.g., a pair of two-by-fours (34). The base (12) also preferably includes a pair of extensions (24) which are sized to make the top surface of the base (12) and table (14) flush with a plurality of cross pieces (36) spanning the horizontal support members (34). The flush surface created by the cross pieces (36), base (12) and table (14) is suitable for supporting a long workpiece so as to minimize blade binding and splintering.
