Multiple task woodworking apparatus

摘要

A woodworking apparatus for performing a plurality of tasks upon a workpiece such as cutting, turning, and routing is disclosed. The apparatus includes a table having a table saw, a lathe, and a pair of routers mounted thereto. The routers are mounted in a spaced and counter-rotating relationship such that both a tongue and groove may be simultaneously formed in the workpiece. The table includes a plurality of transverse journals operable to receive a workholder such as a lathe tailstock or the sliding workpiece clamp disclosed herein. The sliding workpiece clamp of the present invention may be utilized during any operation of the apparatus but is particularly useful to guide the workpiece between the routers to reduce the likelihood of unintentional contact with the router bits.
