Abstract: A transportable workbench comprises a work surface having at least two locations for receiving and retaining power tools. An adjustable stop is demountably attached to the workbench relative to each location to enable a workpiece while in contact with the stop to be machined by way of a power tool retained at one of the locations. Typically each location comprises a recess or aperture adapted to receive demountably a plate to which a power tool can be secured so that, when the plate with the power tool is mounted in the location, the power tool is presented relative to the work surface to enable the tool to provide a machining operation on a workpiece positioned on or by means of the work surface.
