DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, a new work table embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

[0017] As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the miter saw table apparatus 10 generally comprises a table body 12 having a bottom side 14 separated from a top side 16, a right side 18 separated from a left side 20, and a front side 22 separated from a back side 24 defining a table inside 26. The table body 12 has a table width 28 between the left side 20 and the right side 18 equal to six times a table depth 30 between the front side 22 and the back side 24. The table body 12 has a table height 32 between the top side 16 and the bottom side 14 equal to one half the table depth 30. The top side 16 has a saw depression 34 extending towards the bottom side 14 and extending from the front side 22 to the back side 24. The saw depression 34 is configured to receive a miter saw 36 and may be rectangular. The saw depression 34 has a bottom wall 38 and a pair of side walls 40. The saw depression 34 has a depression width 42 between the pair of side walls 40 equal to at least four times a depression height 44 between the bottom wall 38 and the top side 16 of the table body 12. The depression width 42 is greater than the table depth 30, and the depression height 44 is equal to one half the table height 32. The table width 28 is 96 inches, the table depth 30 is 16 inches, and table height 32 is 8 inches. The depression width 42 is 18 inches and the depression height 44 is 4 inches. These dimensions are ideal for standard lumber lengths during home construction. The depression height 44 accommodates the miter saw 36 such that lumber is supported by the top side 16 of the table body on either side of the miter saw 36.

[0018] The bottom wall 38 has a set of four mounting holes 46 configured to receive a plurality of fasteners 48 to fix the miter saw 36 in place. The table body 12 has a cord aperture 50 extending through the left side 20 to the table inside 26 adjacent the bottom side 14 and the back side 24. The bottom side 14 is configured to rest on a pair of saw horses 52. At least one outlet panel 54 is coupled to the table body 12, and the outlet panel 54 comprises a mounting plate 56 and a plurality of outlets 58. The plurality of outlets 58 may be a set of four outlets 58 arranged in a square pattern. The plurality of outlets 58 provides power for the miter saw 36 and for other power tools. The outlet panel 54 is coupled within the mounting plate 56 and extends through the front side 22 into the table inside 26. The at least one outlet panel 54 may be a pair of outlet panels 54 comprising a left outlet panel 60 coupled between the saw depression 34 and the left side 20 and a right outlet panel 62 coupled between the saw depression 34 and the right side 18. A power cord 64 is coupled to the outlet panel 54. The power cord 64 comprises a splitter 66 coupled within the table inside 26 adjacent the cord aperture 50. A main cord 68 is coupled to the splitter 66 and extends through the cord aperture 50. A first extension cord 70 is coupled to the splitter 66 and to the left outlet panel 60, and a second extension cord 72 is coupled to the splitter 66 and to the right outlet panel 62. The power cord 64 is in operational communication with the plurality of outlets 58.

[0019] In use, the user places the miter saw 36 in the saw depression 34 and connects it to one of the plurality of outlets 58. The main cord 68 is plugged into a wall outlet 74. and the miter saw 36 may then be used normally with the top side 16 securing wood on either side of the miter saw 36.

[0020] With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.

[0021] Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word comprising is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article a does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
