A table saw having a frame to support a powered saw blade, a work surface moveably mounted on the frame, the work surface having at least two portions with a space therebetween to allow the saw blade to pass between the two portions. The work surface portions are joined by at least two drive dogs moveably seated in aligned brackets, thereby holding the two portions in fixed relationship when the work surface is both stationary and moving. A pin extends from each drive dog into a keyway mounted on the frame with a portion of the keyway adjacent to the saw blade extending away from the saw blade, whereby a drive dog approaching the saw blade is withdrawn from one of the pair of brackets and from the space between the two portions while the remaining drive dog or drive dogs continue to maintain the two portions in fixed relationship.
