Abstract

A work table includes a pivotal arm, a track, and a sliding table slidably engaged on the track. One or more pairs of wheels are supported on the arm for slidably supporting a pole which is extendible relative to the arm. The pole includes a free end portion coupled to the suspended portion of the sliding table to support the suspended portion of the sliding table in place. The wheels may include a peripheral recess for stably receiving the pole. A barrel is secured to the pole, and a pin is secured to the sliding table and engaged in the barrel for supporting the sliding table.
