Abstract

The present invention provides a work table for use with a tool, comprising an inclined work surface, which is substantially planar and is supported by a frame having a base; a gantry movably attached to the work surface and having two ends, a longitudinal axis and extending within a plane parallel to the work surface; a movable tool mount slidably attached to the gantry for removable attachment of the tool wherein the tool mount and the tool have a combined effective weight; a first movement means attached to one end of said gantry for translation of the gantry over said work surface; a second movement means attached to the tool mount for translation of said tool between the ends of the gantry; and a weight counterbalancing means operatively associated with the tool mount for neutralising the combined effective weight. Neutralisation of the weight is accomplished by attaching the tool mount to a counterbalancing system that counterbalances the combined effective weight of the tool and tool mount along the length of the gantry, enabling its smooth movements when the work surface is in an inclined position.
