Abstract
A cutting guide includes a first guide structure having a base, a first saw support, and a second saw support. The first saw support is attached to the base and defines a first saw contact surface. The second saw support is attached to the base and defines a second saw contact surface that is spaced apart from the first saw contact surface so as to define an elongated cutting slot therebetween. The elongate cutting slot defines (i) a first slot portion, (ii) a second slot portion that is contiguous with the first slot portion, and (iii) a third slot portion that is contiguous with the second slot portion. The second slot portion is interposed between the first slot portion and the third slot portion.
Claims11
A cutting guide for use with a power saw having a cutting blade, comprising:
- a guide structure including (i) a base, (ii) a first saw support extending directly from said base and defining a first saw support surface configured to support the power saw, said first saw support surface defining a first saw support plane, (iii) a second saw support extending directly from said base and defining a second saw support surface configured to support the power saw, said second saw support surface defining a second saw support plane that is non-coplanar with said first saw support plane and intersects said first saw support plane at an intersection, and (iv) an elongated cutting slot defined at said intersection, said elongated cutting slot configured to receive the cutting blade therethrough,
- wherein said intersection defines a longitudinal axis,
- wherein said elongated cutting slot is collinear with said longitudinal axis,
- wherein said base defines a cavity located below said elongated cutting slot for allowing the cutting blade to extend into said cavity through said elongated cutting slot,
- wherein said base includes a first lateral passage surface and a second lateral passage surface that are spaced apart from each other so as to define a workpiece passage therebetween,
- wherein said base further includes a guide wall positioned in said cavity, said guide wall defining a guide surface, and
- wherein said first lateral passage surface and said guide surface lie in a guide plane.
A cutting guide for use with a power saw having a cutting blade, comprising:
- a guide structure including (i) a base including a first end wall and a second end wall, (ii) a first saw support extending directly from said base and including a first saw support surface defining a first saw support plane, (iii) a second saw support extending directly from said base and including a second saw support surface defining a second saw support plane that is non-coplanar with said first saw support plane and intersects said first saw support plane at an intersection, and (iv) an elongated cutting slot defined at said intersection, said elongated cutting slot configured to receive the cutting blade therethrough,
- wherein said intersection defines a longitudinal axis,
- wherein said elongated cutting slot is collinear with said longitudinal axis,
- wherein said base defines a cavity located below said elongated cutting slot for allowing the cutting blade to extend into said cavity through said elongated cutting slot,
- wherein said base further includes a guide wall positioned entirely in said cavity,
- wherein said guide wall defines a guide surface,
- wherein said guide surface is positioned directly under said elongated cutting slot,
- wherein said first and second end walls each define a “V”-shaped opening,
- wherein said base further includes a first lateral passage surface and a second lateral passage surface that are spaced apart from each other so as to define a workpiece passage therebetween, and
- wherein said first lateral passage surface and said guide surface lie in a guide plane.
