Multifunction cutting tool guide

A cutting tool guide system comprising:

• a base plate being unitary and having a top surface and a bottom surface, said top surface of said base plate top surface including connection points for connecting a power tool to said top surface of said base plate top surface;
• said bottom surface having a first track extending longitudinally along said bottom surface of said base plate, said track being defined by first and second spaced walls protruding from said bottom surface of said base plate with at least one of said first and second spaced walls being movable with respect to said other first or second walls, said first track having a first axis extending along said first track;
• said base plate defining a channel extending laterally along said bottom surface of said base plate, said channel having a second axis extending along said channel with said first axis intersecting said second axis at a right angle, said channel widening as it extends toward said bottom surface;
• a rip straight edge having a second track with a groove extending along said second track and having a laterally extending rip guide whereby said rip straight edge engages said bottom surface of said base plate without touching said top surface of said base plate, said second track narrowing as it extends upward to said base plate bottom surface;
• a locking member having a wedge engaged in said groove to pull said rip straight edge to said base plate, with said narrowing second track centering itself in said widening channel;
• and
• whereby the power tool is attached to said base plate and positioned upon a straight edge with said base plate being movable along the straight edge to make a straight cut in a piece of material wherein the straight edge and said channel interacts to guide the power tool, or the power tool is attached to said base plate and said channel of said base plate is mounted to a guide and make a straight cut in a piece of material using the material's edge to guide said base plate.
