Abstract:
A workbench comprising:a support frame;two clamping members supported by said support frame comprising a first clamping member having a clamping edge and a planar top work surface with a first linear gap therein at an angle to said clamping edge; and a second clamping member adjacent to said first clamping member having a clamping edge and a planar top work surface in the same plane as the planar top work surface of said first clamping member, with a second linear gap therein in alignment with said first linear gap, said two clamping members being horizontally slideable relative to one another;guide rails on said support frame between said support frame and said clamping members perpendicular to said clamping edges of said clamping members, said guide rails directing said slideable movement of said clamping members in a linear fashion; andan actuator for slicleably moving said clamping members along said guide rails for clamping an object between said clamping edges of said clamping members.
