Track saw

A shuttle assembly for use with a saw guide track for guiding a saw having a saw blade along a predetermined path, the shuttle assembly including:

• a base plate having opposed top and bottom sides, opposed first and second ends, and a lateral side extending between the first and second ends;
• a guide arrangement configured to engage the saw guide track to prevent lateral movement of the base plate as the base plate travels along the predetermined path, the guide arrangement defining a guide axis that is parallel to the predetermined path when the base plate travels along the predetermine path;
• a saw attachment arrangement for adjustably attaching the saw to the top side of the base plate with the saw extending laterally outward beyond the lateral side such that the saw blade can extend downward beyond the bottom side of the base plate;
• and
• an alignment spacer having a saw blade abutment against which the saw blade abuts while the user secures the saw to the shuttle assembly, the alignment spacer being engageable with the base plate such that the saw blade abutment is spaced laterally outward from the lateral side and such that the saw blade abutment is fixed along a second axis being perpendicular to the guide axis when the alignment spacer is engaged with the base plate.
