Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0493924A1] A workbench comprises a work surface (2, 4) disposed on a supporting structure (3). The work surface comprises a vice jaw member (4) carrying a first vice jaw and a worktable (2) having a second complimentary vice jaw (51a). The worktable, in a working position thereof, lies in the same plane as the jaw member, and the jaws face one another and are adapted to be moved towards and away from one another by vice operating means (9). The worktable is pivotally mounted with respect to the supporting structure about an axis lying adjacent the back edge (51b) of the worktable, thereby enabling the worktable to be pivoted away from the supporting structure to give access to the underside of the worktable. The underside is provided with means (80) for mounting at least one power tool thereon, and has several tool apertures (70, 72, 74) through which working parts of the power tools can project to the upper side of the worktable for working on a workpiece presented to it when the worktable is returned to the working position. The vice operating means enables asymmetric separation between the vice jaws. <IMAGE>
