A cutting table for large stone work-pieces, such as marble includes an axel fixed to a base, and a spinning drum attached to the axel. A brake cooperates with the axel and the drum, either stopping or allowing the drum to rotate around the stationary axel. A mounting-plate attaches to the drum, and the mounting-plate attaches and supports a rectangular frame. On top of the frame, a surface-scaffold attaches by at least one hinge. The hinge, with the assistance of a lifting means, allows the scaffold to move from a position flat upon the frame to a position perpendicular to the frame. A work-surface for cutting large stone pieces attaches to and is supported by the scaffold. To manipulate a large stone work-piece, such as one of marble, a user positions the work-surface perpendicular to the frame and rests the work piece flush next to it. The user then lowers the lifting means, thereby rotating the work-surface and its juxtaposed work piece approximately ninety degrees to a position flat upon the frame. A user can freely rotate the work-surface and, with the assistance of the brake, lock the work surface in a desired position.
