Abstract: A woodworking power tool which may be used as a circular saw, overhead high-speed router, tilting-head bench and floor models drill press, bench shaper, tracer lathe, and band saw, or as a multiple functions tool combining all these six functions, with all six functions being accessible instantly. The tool is equipped with an optional horsepower motor which is detachable, to permit its immediate replacement with a spare motor and to eliminate lengthy down time while a failed motor is being serviced. The stand may be manufactured in portable, stationary, or custom sizes and it features a high degree of accuracy and freedom from alignment losses. Actuating devices and mechanism are provided on both sides of the tool which is convertible for left-hand or right-hand use. The tool features no large accessories requiring attachment to and detachment from the stand, thereby increasing productivity, eliminating the need for storage space and reducing workshop clutter.

Abstract: A portable bench frame suitable for precision woodworking particularly in relatively large workpieces is shown. The bench frame comprises a substantially large rectangular frame supported by two pairs of foldable legs. A traverse beam is suspended above the middle longitudinal portion of the bench top. The beam is mounted to two spaced telescopic columns located at the corners of the rear edge of the bench top. The telescopic columns are adjustable to raise or lower the traverse beam with respect to the bench top. A rotatable work table top is removably mounted on the bench top and a plurality of basic woodworking tools such as a rotary saw, a lathe, a drill press may be mounted on the frame so that these tools are conveniently available for performing various woodworking operations without having to remove or re-mount tools. The tools can be arranged such that each tool does not interfere with the working of the other tools mounted on te bench frame.
