Claim 6

In a saw table, the combination comprising a table for supporting a workpiece, laterally spaced longitudinally extending extruded rails fixed to the underside of said table, means defining a track, said track having guide means for guiding a portable saw, means for pivotally supporting said track on one of said rails about an axis extending through said table in spaced relation to said table such that the saw blade is supported in spaced relation to the table as the saw is moved along the track, and means for locking said track in angularly determined position with respect to said table, said means for pivotally supporting said track comprising a beam pivoted to the underside of the table and having members on the ends thereof, said track comprising spaced rails, said rails being fixed on said end members, and a backstop member slidably engaging said table and supporting a portion of said beam in any angular position.

Claim 7

In a saw table, the combination comprising a table for supporting a workpiece, means defining a track, said track having guide means for guiding a portable saw, means for pivotally supporting said track about an axis extending through said table in spaced relation to said table such that the saw blade is supported in spaced relation to the table as the saw is moved along the track, means for locking said track in angularly determined position with respect to said table, said table including at least one pair of backstops along one edge thereof, one adjacent each side of the track, said backstops being slidably engaged with said table such that they can be moved to accommodate the angular movement of the track with respect to said table.

Claim 8

In a saw table, the combination comprising a table for supporting a workpiece, means defining a track, said track having guide means for guiding a portable saw, means for pivotally supporting said track about an axis extending through said table in spaced relation to said table such that the saw blade is supported in spaced relation to the table as the saw is moved along the track, means for locking said track in angularly determined position with respect to said table, said table including at least one pair of backstops along one edge thereof, one adjacent each side of the track, said backstops being slidably engaged with said table such that they can be moved to accommodate the angular movement of the track with respect to said table.

Claim 9

In a saw table, the combination comprising a table for supporting a workpiece, means defining a track, said track having guide means for guiding a portable saw, means for pivotally supporting said track about an axis extending through said table in spaced relation to said table such that the saw blade is supported in spaced relation to the table as the saw is moved along the track, means for locking said track in angularly determined position with respect to said table, said table including a plurality of backstops along one edge thereof, said backstops being slidably engaged with said table and engageable by said track such that said backstops are movable to accommodate the angular movement of the track with respect to the table.

Claim 10

In a saw table, the combination comprising a table for supporting a workpiece, means defining a track, said track having guide means for guiding a portable saw, means for pivotally supporting said track about an axis extending through said table in spaced relation to said table such that the saw blade is supported in spaced relation to the table as the saw is moved along the track, means for locking said track in angularly determined position with respect to said table, said table including a plurality of backstops along one edge thereof, said backstops being slidably engaged with said table and engageable by said track such that said backstops are movable to accommodate the angular movement of the track with respect to the table.
