Abstract: A grinding mechanism includes a track device horizontally arranged in a base, and a slide slidably engaged on the track device. A grinding material is secured on top of the slide and moved in concert with the slide. A gear is rotatably supported in the base and a roller is eccentrically secured to the gear for engaging with the slide. A motor is disposed in the base for rotating the gear. The slide and the grinding material are moved in a reciprocating action along the track device in order to conduct grinding operations.

Abstract: An adjustable fence assembly includes a planar fence secured with a handle having an arcuate body portion which is rotatably coupled through an arcuate trolley member with an arcuate body portion of a fence traveler. The fence is directly pivotally coupled along its lower edge to the traveler along an axis of rotation which lies generally along the lower surface of the traveler. The lower traveler surface is supported on an upper surface of a fence track, which can be adjustably mounted to the rear cover of a conventional jointer-planer. Each arcuate body portion is about 45.degree. or less in arcuate extent with respect to the pivot axis to permit the portions to collapse and the fence to be rotated from an upright position to at least a 45.degree. position away from the jointer-planer. The angular position of the fence is selectably adjustable through the use of a single threaded fastener.
