A machining apparatus is disclosed including a workbench to support at least one article to be machined; at least one machining device to perform machining on said article by removing material, the machining device being movable with respect to the workbench, in which the workbench includes a base including two or more plate-like elements arranged vertically and spaced apart from each other, each plate-like element extending in length along a horizontal longitudinal axis and including a jagged upper edge; support member arranged on the base, in contact with the jagged upper edges of the plate-like elements, the support member being sacrificial, i.e. configured to undergo material removal together with the article, defining a support horizontal martyr plane for the article.

A method for adjusting a workpiece-supporting module includes: setting initial support position information of a workpiece, the initial support position information including positions of support devices and a spacing value for separating the support devices; according to the initial support position information, applying a finite element method to analyze a CAD file of the workpiece to obtain workpiece deformation information; according to the workpiece deformation information and target workpiece deformation information, realizing support position information corresponding to each support device, the support position information including X-axis coordinates and Y-axis coordinates; according to the support position information and a conversion program, obtaining a Z-axis coordinate and a normal vector of each support devices; and, according to the support position information, the Z-axis coordinate and the normal vector, adjusting the position and the angle of each support device. In addition, a variable system for adjusting the same workpiece-supporting module is also proposed.

A receiving device for receiving an object of any shape includes a horizontally extending base plate with a plurality of threaded bores being defined in the base plate, where the plurality of threaded bores are spaced apart across the base plate. The receiving device further includes a plurality of supports, where each of the plurality of supports extends between a first end and a second end. Each of the plurality of supports is screwed proximate the first end into the plurality of threaded bores such that the second ends of the plurality of supports project vertically upward at a specific height from the base plate such that an object of any shape is placeable in a desired position on the second ends of the plurality of supports.

A machine tool is provided with two vertically oriented tool spindles that are arranged to hold tools and that are movable vertically in a first direction and horizontally in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. Furthermore, the machine tool is provided with two workpiece support devices for clamping workpieces in place. At least one of the two workpiece support devices is movable horizontally in a third direction orthogonal to the first and the second direction. The two tool spindles and the two workpiece support devices are mounted on a common machine frame with a common working space, wherein the two tool spindles are movable parallel to one another in the second direction. The two tool spindles are facing one another.

A portable cutting table including a top having an upper portion and a lower portion and a table skirt secured to the lower portion of the top. The table includes folding leg assemblies, each having a pair of support legs. Each leg has a distal end defining a bevel having a predetermined angle, and a proximal end defining a compound curve including at least a first curve with a first radius of curvature and a second curve with a second radius of curvature. The first curve defines a notch in an outer face of the leg corresponding to the predetermined angle. The second curve has a midpoint and a center of curvature so the proximal end of each leg defines a pivot point located at least halfway between the midpoint and the center of curvature. Each support leg is pivotably connected at the pivot point to the table skirt.

A manufacturing includes a template support and a plurality of template members. The template support comprises a structural member, a first rail, and a second rail. The first rail is coupled to the structural member, and is positioned outward of the first side of the structural member and extends parallel with the structural member. The second rail is movably coupled to the structural member and is normally biased outward to an outward position in which second rail is parallel with the structural member. Each template member is coupled to the template support when the first rail is positioned in a first recess thereof and the second rail is in the outward position in a second recess thereof, and is removable from the template support when the second rail is in an inward position and out of the second recess.
