Abstract
A lightweight, portable guide assembly for use with a power tool such as a hand-held circular saw is described having a platform, a front, a rear support and a bottom plate secured to the platform and a removable base secured to the assembly through an attachment means. The platform contains a pair of adjustable parallel guides for receiving the power tool and a blade gap allowing the power tool to contact a workpiece. The assembly is designed such that the blade of the circular saw contacts and penetrates the base without damage to the saw or the assembly, obviating the need for adjustment of the assembly before use and allowing for simplicity in design and construction of the guide assembly.
