Abstract
A tilting table for a woodworking tool comprising a support member, a pair of trunnions pivotally attached to the support member for movement about a common axis, a table top attached to and supported by the trunnions, a pair of wedge blocks mounted to slidably engage the trunnions and support member, and carried on a rod having a nut threaded thereon such that inward displacement of the nut urges the wedge blocks toward each other, thereby jamming the wedge blocks between the trunnions and the support member. The wedge blocks are spring loaded such that outward displacement of the nut allows the wedge blocks to be urged outwardly from their jamming engagement, thus permitting the table top and trunnions to be pivoted relative to the support member.
