Abstract: Accordingly, a work tool is provided that features a table that can be rotated about all three axes of a traditional coordinate system. The work tool features a housing that contains a tool that is translatable along an axis to make contact with a workpiece. A table for mounting the workpiece is also connected to the housing. The table is rotatable about the axis along which the tool is translated to make contact with the workpiece. The table is also rotatable about the two other axes perpendicular to the axis that the tool moves along. Three separate locks are provided, each to maintain the table stationary about one of the three axes. The three axes are each controlled by a handle attached to the locking mechanisms.

Abstract: A carpentry biscuit is provided having an elongated planar body formed of wood having opposed faces spaced apart and thickness T. One of the opposed faces is provided with a longitudinal alignment mark oriented along a longitudinal axis and a transverse alignment mark aligned perpendicular to the transverse axis to aid the user in positioning the biscuit in a slot formed in a pair of boards to be joined together.
