ABSTRACT:
A table for supporting and guiding diverse portable power tools with precision and safety is disclosed. In one mode of use with a sabre saw, adjustable guide rails for the saw have free-floating engagement with locator posts on the table and rest directly on the workpiece which is being cut. The guide rails at one end can be raised or lowered for precise leveling and locked in the chosen position. Very smooth cutting by the sabre saw is enabled without chattering of the workpiece. In another form of the table there is a second mode of use with a circular saw or router, the guide rails are supported at a fixed height atop the locator posts and above the top surface of the workpiece resting on the table. A workpiece protractor guide on the table enables various cutting angles. Precision cutting of cove molding by a sabre or circular saw is possible by proper angular adjustment of the protractor guide and saw blade. The sabre saw can also be used in a ripping mode across the guide rails when the latter are supported at a fixed height atop the locator posts.
