    (54) Improvements in or relating to workbenches


    (57) A portable workbench has two elongate vice jaw members (4, 12) mounted upon a support structure (1, 2). One of the jaw members (4) is movable along the support structure towards and away from the other jaw member (12). The other jaw member (12) is removable from the support members and can be placed into one or other of several positions spaced by different amounts from the one jaw member (4). The removable jaw member (12) is also replaceable by a work surface that is attachable to the support structure (1, 2) and is clamped in position by the one jaw member (4) . The work surface may carry a guard for use with a circular saw. The workbench in combination with the removable jaw member provides a work centre.
