Abstract

A power tool stand for a removeable power tool has a first battery interface and a removeable battery having a first tool interface. The power tool stand comprises a base and a projecting frame connected to the base. A power tool carriage is moveably mounted on the projecting frame and the power tool carriage comprising a second battery interface and a second tool interface. The second battery interface is compatible with the first tool interface and the second battery interface is arranged to electrically and mechanically connect together with first tool interface. The second tool interface is compatible with the first battery interface and the second tool interface is arranged to electrically and mechanically connect together with first battery interface. The first battery interface and the first tool interface are incompatible.
