A unique flip platform is configured to be used in conjunction with a combination saw motor with a circular blade that enables it to be used in a dual-purpose manner for both cross cuts and rip-cuts. The combination saw motor with a circular blade is rotated 90 horizontally on the flip platform, and a middle portion of the top surface of the flip platform supported between the legs of the table is flipped over 180 vertically so the combination saw motor with a circular blade is now on the bottom of the platform. The blade of the combination saw motor with a circular blade extends upward through a slot in the middle portion of the platform surface to allow the user to make rip-cuts along the length of a workpiece. Heretofore two distinctly different saws were required, one to make cross cuts and one to make rip-cuts.
