A collapsible infeed/outfeed table is provided with a pair of collapsible wings that are supported by struts slidably attached to the wings and pivotally attached to two pairs of elongated support legs. A pair of vertical stanchions provide a pivot point for the wings and lower ends thereof support a pair of sliding braces also connected to the extensible legs. A central roller is provided between the two wings that telescope between an extended and a retracted position. Extensible rollers are provided at free ends of the wings such that, when extended, the table may serve as a crosscut saw support stand. With the wings retracted and the central roller raised, the table may serve as an infeed/outfeed roller support for a separate saw, such as a crosscut saw or table saw. Finally, with all of the rollers retracted and the wings extended, the table is a work table.

The invention claimed is: 1. A collapsible infeed/outfeed table, comprising: a pair of central stanchions having upper and lower ends; two pairs of foldable, elongated, support legs having upper ends pivotally attached adjacent to and substantially contiguous with the stanchion upper ends, the support legs also having distal free ends for supporting the table; two pairs of foldable support braces, each brace having an inner end pivotally connected adjacent to a corresponding stanchion lower end and a distal portion slidably connected to a corresponding support leg; two pairs of foldable struts, each strut having a first end pivotally connected to a corresponding support leg intermediate the support brace distal portions and the support leg free ends and further having a distal free end; and, two pairs of selectively foldable, laterally extensible, work support surfaces, each work support surface having an inner end pivotally connected to the stanchion upper ends, a distal free end, and a pair of tracks for slidably receiving corresponding strut free ends, whereby the table is convertible between a collapsed, stowed position and an extended operating position suitable for use as any one of a work table, a power tool stand, and an infeed/outfeed table. 2. The table of claim 1, including an outfeed/infeed roller connected to the distal free end of each work support surface. 3. The table of claim 2, wherein the rollers are pivotally connected to the work support surface distal free ends. 4. The table of claim 3, wherein the rollers are further telescopically connected to the work support surface free ends. 5. The table of claim 1, including a U-shaped bracket connected to the upper end of each central stanchion for pivotal receipt of the support leg upper ends. 6. The table of claim 5, including a stanchion roller telescopically connected to each central stanchion so as to be selectively positionable above and below the work support surfaces in their respective extended positions. 7. A collapsible output feed table, comprising: a central stanchion having upper and lower ends; a pair of foldable, elongated, support legs having upper ends pivotally attached adjacent the stanchion upper end and distal free ends for supporting the table; a pair of foldable support braces, each brace having an inner end pivotally connected adjacent the stanchion lower end and a distal portion slidably connected to a corresponding support leg; a pair of foldable wing struts, each strut having a first end pivotally connected to a corresponding support leg intermediate the support brace distal portions and the support leg free ends and a distal free end; and, a pair of selectively foldable, laterally extensible, work support surfaces, each work support surface having an inner end pivotally connected to the stanchion upper end, a distal free end, and a track for slidably receiving a corresponding strut free end, whereby the table is convertible between a collapsed, stowed position and an extended operating position suitable for use as any one of a work table, a power tool stand, and an infeed/outfeed table. 8. The table of claim 7, including an outfeed/infeed roller connected to the distal free end of each work support surface. 9. The table of claim 8, wherein the rollers are pivotally connected to the work support surface distal free ends. 10. The table of claim 9, wherein the rollers are further telescopically connected to the work support surface free ends. 11. The table of claim 10, including a stanchion roller telescopically connected to the central stanchion so as to be selectively positionable above and below the work support surfaces in their respective extended positions.
