The invention relates to a foldable frame (1) for oscillating saws or the like with an elongated support body (2), to which the oscillating saw is mountable, and to which, at each one of its two respective ends, are connected two legs (6,7), the latter being swivelable from a storage configuration in which they extend essentially parallel to the support body (2) to an operative configuration in which they extend essentially perpendicular from the support body (2). In order to improve the usefulness of the above-described foldable frame, it is proposed that the support body (2) be configured as two support body sections (3, 4), which are connected to one another by a hinge (5), which in the storage configuration lie parallel to each other, and which by swivelling movement through 180�� can be brought into the operative configuration.
