  • Expandable portable table for portable saw
    Patent number: 6672348
    Abstract: A portable saw table for supporting a portable saw. The portable saw table has a base supporting a plate slidably mountable thereon, and the portable saw is attached to the plate. An adjustable work support is mounted on the base adjacent the plate, and an extendable work support is slidably mounted with respect to the base. Linear guides mounted between the base and the plate properly locate the plate with respect to the adjustable work support, thereby permitting a saw fence to be aligned with a vertical guide surface on the adjustable work support. A locking device is used to secure the plate at its aligned position. The adjustable work support is movable lengthwise to align a horizontal work surface immediately adjacent a saw table, and the adjustable work support is also movable in a vertical direction so that it is coplanar with the saw table. The extendable work support is movable in three mutually perpendicular directions to align it with the adjustable work support.
