Abstract
A folding table for use with a table saw. The folding table including an upper support surface to hold the table saw and a leg mechanism slidably connecting to the upper support surface through slots in the sides of the upper support surface. An actuator plate is provided to lock the leg mechanism in an open position whereby the legs support the upper support surface and a closed position whereby the leg mechanism is compact and fits closely with the upper support section. The actuator plate moves between a locked position, whereby the leg mechanism is secured in the open or closed position by pins in a curved lateral slot or straight lateral slot in the actuator plate, respectively, and a released position where the pins move between the curved and the straight slots. Indicator tabs can also be provided to show if the actuator plate is in the locked or released position.
