A second scale plate 15 is slidably provided on the right side of the top of the workbench 1, and the second scale plate 15 is parallel to the slide rail. A first scale plate 14 is provided on the rear side of the top of the workbench 1, and a limit plate 16 is slidably connected to the first scale plate 14. A screw 17 is threadedly connected to the limit plate 16. The screw 17 passes through the limit plate 16, and the lower end of the screw 17 abuts against the top of the first scale plate 14.

[0021] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a column guide rail 5, an annular moving part 501, a connecting plate 502, a first electric guide rail 6, an electric push rod 7 and a second electric guide rail 11.
