  • Patent number: 4128029
    Abstract: A table for a saw has three equal table segments supported on foldable legs. The three segments are spaced from one another by spacer elements and held in position by front and back longitudinal rails and nut and bolt combinations through the spacer elements. The spacer elements hold the table segments spaced from one another thereby defining first and second lateral slots within which the rail of a mitre gauge can ride. Four spacer elements are integral parts of a spacer bar. Each spacer bar has laterally spaced spacer elements and vertically spaced spacer elements thereby providing numerous accurately dimensioned spacing locations between adjacent table segments. The spacer elements and longitudinal rails in combination establish table element positioning and rigidity with respect to one another as well as established two longitudinal slots having a uniform predetermined width.
