Abstract
A motorized power tool and several support structures are defined. A basic embodiment includes a unibody base having base upper and base lower ends and sidewalls collectively forming an internal cavity. Atop the base upper end is disposed a table having a work support surface. A motor driven implement such as a saw blade or a sanding drum is supported so that it is adjustable and extends above the table. Wheels are disposed at the base lower end of one end of the base and an extendable handle at the other. The handle can be used to tilt the base so that all the weight is centered above the wheels and then to move the power tool. A fence is also slidably mounted on the table to adjustably position a workpiece relative to the saw blade. Support assemblies include standard-sized lumber, fitted into pockets in the base, joined pairs of legs that fold upward into the base, and an assembly having a pair of legs, between which the base can be pivoted for transport, and another pair of legs that can also be pivoted therebetween for the same purpose.
