Abstract
A miter device is provided which includes a rectangular planar base with two adjustable angled guide rails releasably fixed to its top side. Each guide rail extends from the central front portion toward a side end at a first angle, then perpendicularly along the side ends. Two parallel longitudinal track guides, each with a track opening, are adjustably secured to the base in identical positions. A safety stop is inserted into an end of at least one track opening. The device includes a front end fence perpendicular to and extending along the front end, with a handle protruding from its front surface, and a rear end fence along the rear edge. The base further includes a blade track extending from the peninsular section through the rectangular recess and rear end fence.
Claims20
A miter device comprising:
- a rectangular planar base which has a top side, an opposing bottom side, a front end, an opposing back end, and two corresponding side ends, the rectangular planar base having a rectangular peninsula section extending from a central portion of the front end of the base and a rectangular recess indented along a corresponding central portion of the back end of the base;
- two angled guide rails which are releasably fixed to the top side of the base, each of which extends in a first angular direction starting from the central portion of the front end towards a different one of the corresponding side ends, and then each turning to extend in a second angular direction which is directly perpendicular to the side ends;
- two parallel longitudinal track guides each having a track opening running a longitudinal length of the track guide, and wherein the track guides are positioned along the bottom side of the base and extend from between the back end of the base to a position beyond the front end of the base, and which track guides are each adjustably secured to the base in an identical position along the track openings;
- a safety stop inserted into an end of the track opening positioned beyond the front end of the base of at least one of the longitudinal track guides;
- a front end fence which is perpendicular to and extends along a front end of the rectangular peninsula section of the base;
- a handle protruding from a front surface of the front end fence;
- and,
- a rear end fence, which is perpendicular to and extends along an indented edge of the rectangular recess;
- and
- wherein the base has a blade track extending from the peninsular section through the indented edge of the rectangular recess and a portion of the rear end fence.
