to the bench beams for supporting the bench beams and the main rails on a supporting surface so that the upper surfaces of the main rails are substantially horizontal.
In the preferred embodiment of the workbench construction, the bench beams and the main rails are disposed on edge, the upper edges of the bench beams having upwardly facing notches therein, and the lower edges of the main rails having downwardly facing notches therein. The main rails are received on the bench beams with the notches in the main rails received in interfitting relation in the notches in the bench beams so that the longitudinal and transverse positions of the main rails relative to the bench beams are detachably fixed. One embodiment of the workbench construction further comprises a pluralityof substantially parallel spaced transverse rails which are received in interfitting relation on the main rails, so that the upper surfaces of the transverse rails are substantially coplanar and upwardly spaced from the main rails. Preferably the transverse rails are also positioned on edge and have downwardly facing notches in the lower edges thereof which are received in interfitting relation on the main rails. This embodiment of the workbench construction preferably further comprises an elongated longitudinally extending fence member which is received in interfitting relation in upwardly facing notches formed in the transverse rails, so that the fence member is maintained in a substantially longitudinally extending disposition on the workbench, an elongated longitudinally extending cutoff table being positioned on the transverse rails adjacent the fence.
