Guiding system

A guiding system for portable machine tools, comprising:

• at least one guiding apparatus configured to receive a base portion of a portable machine tool and to fix the base portion on the guiding apparatus in a fixed position;
• at least one positive guidance unit (i) to which the guiding apparatus is connected in a positive-locking manner to define a first condition and (ii) from which the guiding apparatus is released to define a second condition, the positive guidance unit configured to positively guide the portable machine tool in a linear direction via translation of the guiding apparatus relative to the positive guidance unit when the positive guidance unit and the guiding apparatus are in the first condition and the guiding apparatus and the base portion are in the fixed position;
• and
• at least one position fixing unit mounted on the guiding apparatus and configured to be selectively engaged with a plurality of counter latching elements defined by the positive guidance unit, the counter latching elements defining a plurality of linear positions and being distributed evenly across an entire length of the positive guidance unit in the linear direction,
• wherein the at least one position fixing unit is configured to fix the guiding apparatus and the base portion on the positive guidance unit when the position fixing unit is engaged with any one of the counter latching elements and the guiding apparatus and the base portion are in the fixed position such that the guiding apparatus and the base portion cannot be moved relative to the positive guidance unit, and
• wherein the at least one position fixing unit has at least one fastening unit configured to releasably fix the at least one position fixing unit on the at least one guiding apparatus.
